Marie-Danielle Smith for Ottawa Citizen
Excerpt: Today’s architects can put beauty and functionality together, and that makes for a more engaging urban environment, according to Bill Birdsell, president of the Ontario Association of Architects.
“Good” architecture interacts with the street outside and promotes a sense of community inside, Birdsell says. Cities full of this “good” stuff attract young people who want to live in an “exciting environment,” he says. “Ottawa’s starting to get into that.”
[…] As for new buildings that have invigorated the city, he names the Ottawa Convention Centre, newly renovated Vanier Hall at the University of Ottawa, the Canadian War Museum, and the Ismaili Imamat building on Sussex Drive.
