Ismaili Centre, Toronto
Last summer, Don Mills welcomed two new institutions, and two remarkable buildings, from the city’s Ismaili community. Doors Open opens up access to the Ismaili Centre: a community and religious centre designed by Indian architect Charles Correa with Toronto’s Moriyama + Teshima and Arriz & Co, it blends delicate ornament with one of the great glass roofs on the continent. Make time to explore the nearby Aga Khan Museum, in a remarkable building by Fumihiko Maki, and the exquisite gardens between the two. 49 Wynford Dr., Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., theismaili.org
