Architecture and Design Gallery

Located on a landmark site in Toronto, at the nexus of one of the world’s leading research universities and a thriving downtown creative sector, the Architecture and Design Gallery, a unique space on the lower level of the Daniels Building at 1 Spadina Crescent, is dedicated to showcasing the important ways that design shapes our cities, landscapes and daily lives. The exhibitions and installations in this flexible 7,500-square-foot facility—the only one of its kind in Toronto—explore and promote experimental and prescient forms of contemporary architecture and urbanism in all their artistic, scientific and cultural dimensions. In the process, the Gallery harnesses a rich network of local and international collaborators, as well as the talents of the Daniels Faculty and U of T’s remarkable community of scholars, urbanists, students and design professionals, to test ideas, provoke needed debate, and foster a deeper understanding of the role design plays in imagining and building a better world.
