The OAA celebrated World Architecture Day with its reveal of its annual Queen’s Park Picks (QP Picks) program—a collaboration with Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs). A special online exhibition launched earlier in the week highlights the nine outstanding buildings chosen this year.
World Architecture Day takes place on the first Monday of October. This year’s theme, chosen by the International Union of Architects (UIA) Council, is "Architecture for Resilient Communities.” The OAA invited all Ontario MPPs to reflect on the province’s unique architectural legacy and nominate a favourite building within their riding. Submissions were received from 44 MPPs representing regions across the province, as well as all political parties. Of these, nine projects were selected by a jury of architects from the OAA’s Policy Advisory Coordination Team (PACT). To learn more about the buildings chosen, visit the OAA Website.
