Architects in Swipe Looking at Books + Objects Episode Three
In Episode 3 of AISLAB+O, we meet married couple, architects, and urban space gurus Kim Storey and James Brown, who founded Brown + Storey Architects in 1981. While BSA has done all kinds of work, such as the West Toronto Railpath, their most famous gift to the city is likely Dundas Square, now known as Sankofa Square. While James admits that he was the class clown (and clowns around a bit), Kims tells us the story of the 401 sidewalk along Richmond St., plus a lot of other stuff!
Architects in Swipe Looking at Books + Objects Episode Two
In Episode Two of “Architects In Swipe Looking At Books + Objects,” LEED-certified architect Christine Lolley, co-founder and principal of Solares Architecture, tells us about her first job, why carbon is the enemy, her love of Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, sandwiches, and the Pantheon in Rome.
Architects in Swipe Looking at Books + Objects
A loving tribute to Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.” We at swipe design feel that, despite our erudite print offerings and high-styled household objects, there is always room for humour. And despite what some might think, architects (and designers) are actually a pretty fun crowd! Our host, Dave LeBlanc, likes to say that “architecture ain’t just for eggheads anymore” and we agree. In the coming months, we’ll be inviting the city’s top designers to visit us and share their stories as they ooh and ahh over the lovely things at our store.
Our first guests are architect Anne-Marie Armstrong and graphic designer Todd Temporale.
