Message: PLANT Architect and Shore Tilbe Irwin Selected To Redesign City Hall Square Last night, in the rotunda of Revell's admired Toronto City Hall, the winners of the Nathan Phillips Square redesign got their due. PLANT Architects, with partner Shore Tilbe Irwin, received the design jury's nod for their urban, upbeat proposal. Competition Chair, Eric Haldenby, said that "The team has imaginatively re-invented elements of the Square, enhanced the experience of the public realm and integrated exemplary new sustainable design approaches." We weren't surprised by the selection. Yesterday, on Spacing.ca, Reading Toronto predicted the winner: PREDICTION: While the schemes were compelling, to us the PLANT Architect proposal is enthusiastically and unashamedly urban — worthy of Revell’s endorsement. More than that, it is youthfully optimistic, well-considered in its detailing, and rids the square of clutter. The Baird Sampson Neuert scheme is a very close second and we won’t be disappointed if it is selected. But a competition win as significant as this is not about the firm names, it is about a team of highly-educated, passionate people who come together to envision a better city for the rest of us. They have to be congratulated for their optimism and tireless desire to improve the public realm. Here are their names: The Team PLANT Architect Inc.
