Nathan Phillips Square: The future is green

March 8, 2007 - I actually watched the announcement live on tv: the future of Nathan Phillips Square looks green as the Plant Architect proposal was announced winner of the $40 M Design Competition.

As I wrote in my review, the Plant proposal isn't my favourite, but it's better than 2 of the other 3 proposals. I'm looking forward to see how the new podium, glass pavilion entry, and permanent theatre will play out with the existing features of the square.

Here's a link to the proposal, along with the Star's article on the announcement. Construction is set to begin next year.
