Quick trip to Porto. First stop: Alvaro Siza’s Leça da Palmeira swimming pools, 1960-66. The buildings are almost invisible. You work your way down the ram, moved through the changing rooms, and zigzag way out too, finally, the water. One day I am going to swim here. Final images is a drawing from his archives at @canadiancentreforarchitecture. #alvarosiza #archi #architecture #arquitecturaportuguesa #porto

Toronto and Vancouver are shrinking. Or parts of them are. This week @globeandmail published my long read about how big cities are shedding population - and our existing neighbourhoods have a lot of excess infrastructure capacity, in pipes, schools, and parks, that isn’t being counted.
@lauraproctorphoto took this fine portrait of Darlene Varaleau at the former Bickford Park High School. Built for 1000 students in 1965, it now has just 77 regular daytime students. The Toronto District school board has more than 69,000 seats in its classrooms. Why aren’t such assets driving our planning policy? If some of our most central neighbourhoods used to house more people, why can’t they do so today?

Oslo City Hall. Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson won a design competition in 1918 and then redesigned it several times; it was completed in 1950 (!) with an extraordinary program of decorative art. The Munch Room is #8. Next door, Fridtjof Nansens plass projects the semicircular geometry of the council chamber into the city. A gorgeous ensemble.

New Oslo urbanism. It isn’t just @snohetta’s Opera House (1-2), or the Deichman Bjørvika library by @lundhagem @atelieroslo (2-3), an extraordinarily well-designed and well-programmed public place. It is the master plan of the Bjorvika district (3-8) by @sla_architects, which leads with landscape and marginalizes cars almost completely. And Barcode Masterplanned by @mvrdv. More generally, two car free shopping streets; near-total exclusion of private cars from the center; robust public transit across the region. In a city of 750,000, so much is possible.

Biidaasige Park. To quote Ada Louise Huxtable, sometimes we get it right. I’ve spent more than 15 years watching this place evolve from vision to reality. It’s an audacious work of infrastructure that moved a river, opened up a whole new neighbourhood, and then – bonus – delivered an extraordinary public space.
it is rich with wonderful details by MVVA, serious art @thelatfoundation, and layers of ecological, social, and urban history, from Indigenous presence to the present.
A triumph on every scale from @mvva.inc and @waterfront.to. An example of how deep, thoughtful design and consistent, careful execution can make wonderful places.
Now, it badly needs a café and some more things to do. Plus very careful stewardship. Hopefully that will come. Toronto has made something wonderful.

“It is an architecture that pays attention to the sun and soil, honours the comfort of the body, and defends the virtues of generosity and longevity.” Up now: my enthusiastic review of Indigenous House at @utsc. Congrats to @formlinearchitecture @lga_ap and PUBLIC WORK.

The Obama Center, by Tod Williams Billie Tsien with @moodynolandesign and @mvva.inc. Lavish, beautiful, hostile, weird, and poignant as a relic of a lost America. Also an island of philanthropic splendor in a country where the public realm is literally collapsing. It’s got a nice model of the East Wing of the White House. #architecture #archi #obamacenter
