An Evening With Architect Jack Diamond - November 26th, 2013

I've had the good fortune to attend a community meeting with guest speaker World Renowned Architect Jack Diamond. Mr. Diamond is well known for his design of the Four Seasons Centre Home of the National Ballet and Canadian Opera Company in Down Town Toronto. The evening consisted of slide presentation, commentary and a question and answer period with Mr. Diamond. He touched on three specific areas of development in Toronto and gave his thoughts on sustainable development. The Toronto Casino Project behind the scenes look, the Subway extension to Scarborough, the Toronto Island Airport extension and the Transit Link to the Lester B. Pearson Airport. He also commented on water front development which was of particular interest to the members of this audience. I asked Mr. Diamond what one can do to control the proliferation of ugly Buildings in the GTA, his response " Controlling the Development and site densities would get a desired effect, rather than trying to control aesthetic design". Should you have the opportunity of hearing Mr. Diamond speak I would suggest that you indulge yourselves.
