Solving today’s biggest challenges requires both the ambition to drive change and the humility to know that no one can do it alone. This philosophy has shaped DIALOG’s evolution since its start in 1960.   In a recent article, DIALOG Chair Antonio Gomez-Palacio @aurbanist reflects on the practice’s commitment to improving the wellbeing of communities and the environment through design. From healthcare and education projects to transit infrastructure and mass timber innovation, DIALOG’s work is guided by a belief that meaningful progress comes through collaboration, purpose, and a focus on long-term impact.   “Everything we do is contextual: a response to the needs of a particular community and a particular moment in time,” says Antonio. “Success depends on collaboration across the firm, the industry, and society.”   Read feature story “Conversation Starters: DIALOG tackles today’s challenges in ways others can’t” at link in bio.   #DIALOG #communitywellbeing #builtenvironment #AECindustry 25 Jun 2026 Calgary's Glenbow Museum gears up to reopen next year, reinvented as the JR Shaw Centre for Arts & Culture. DIALOG's architectural reimagination honours the building’s historic legacy while inviting community and participation. “Instead of covering up the memories of the building, we highlighted the memories of the building,” said Robert Claiborne, the project’s conceptual architect and a partner at DIALOG. The redesign brings the museum’s existing character to the forefront, preserving its Brutalist architectural legacy while embracing pluralism – an architecture that asks questions – and inclusivity. The result is a cultural environment that feels both familiar and renewed, better serving the city’s vibrant arts and culture community.

October marked the grand opening of a 35,000-square-foot Aquatics Expansion at the Lac La Biche Bold Centre. The expansion has a six-lane pool, diving platforms, large leisure pool with zero-depth entry, lazy river, waterslide, hot tubs, steam and sauna facilities, and change rooms designed to accommodate a diverse range of users. Communities with long winters can have limited opportunities for year-round physical activity and social connection. Now, @laclabichecounty has an accessible, inclusive destination where people of different ages, abilities, and backgrounds can exercise, gather, and play throughout the seasons. DIALOG was thrilled to be a part of a project that will provide so many new recreational opportunities for the people of Lac La Biche. 🔗Learn more about the opening at the link in our bio. #DIALOG #Design #SportsAndRecreation #communitywellbeing 09 Nov 2026 As the number of cancer patients in Canada steadily grows, provinces are building new care centres to meet the need – and learning from each other in the process. A case in point is CancerCare Manitoba (@cancercaremb - CCMB), which is planning to expand its main treatment facility in Winnipeg to meet the growing needs of cancer care patients in the province. As the design of the expansion begins to take shape, they are looking to incorporate several features of the Arthur J. E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calgary, the second-largest cancer treatment and research facility in North America, and the Centre intégré de cancérologie in Quebec City, the largest integrated cancer centre in the province of Quebec. The design features include: ➡️Radiation treatment areas sited adjacent to the main mass of the building and located partially underground with access to courtyards – reducing schedule and capital costs while improving patient and staff experience. ➡️ Co-location of the pharmacy and chemotherapy areas – improving efficiencies by reducing steps for staff and the distance the often-hazardous chemotherapy compounds need to be transported. ➡️Organization of the building around a central courtyard, enhancing wayfinding and providing direct access to landscape areas, natural light, and areas of respite for patients and staff all year long. The design of the expanded Winnipeg facility is being led by DIALOG and LM Architectural Group (@lmag_esp). 🔗Learn more in an article in @canadianarchitect at the link in our bio. @stantec @groupea.annexeu @dmgarchitecture @lemayonline @jodoinlamarrepratte.arch @nfoe_inc @glcrm.architectes #DIALOG #Design #HealthCare #CancerCare 06 Nov 2026 ‘A prototype for a new breed of building.’ ‘An uncommonly engaging civic presence.’ ‘A bold, visually striking experience.’ That’s just some of what people from around the world are saying about The Hive.

Taking place Oct. 29, ‘Solar Machines’ explores architecture that uses solar technology as a building material and as an integral part of a structure’s overall design rather than something you add on the roof afterward. Redesigned by DIALOG in 2020, the atrium of the Edmonton Convention Centre produces an estimated 200 megawatt hours of electricity per year, stopping more than 150,000 kg of greenhouse gases from going into the air. And it manages to do all this while still letting 50% more outside light into the building than the original skylights it replaced. Along with the atrium, the Solar Machines conference will feature 15 other designs from cities around the world, including San Francisco, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Abu Dhabi, and Guangzhou. 🔗Learn more at the link in our bio. #DIALOG #Design #SolarEnergy #ClimateAction 27 Oct 2026 Innovative architecture and engineering can make a big contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Three DIALOG projects recognized this week for groundbreaking design from around the world by the @architizer Vision Awards show how. Swipe to learn more about how these projects are helping to push the built environment to a low-carbon future. #DIALOG #Design #Awards #ClimateAction @architizerawards Our 105-storey Zero Carbon Hybrid Wood Tower Prototype and Hybrid Timber Floor System (HTFS) earned the Editors’ Choice Award in the Vision for Cities category. The massive structural load requirements of skyscrapers have been a barrier to building them with sustainable, low-carbon mass timber. The prototype gets around this through an innovative mix of materials that maximize the use of wood by volume in a 105-storey design. A key feature of the design is the hybrid timber floor panels. Developed in partnership with @ellisdoncorp, the patented system combines cross-laminated timber panels with steel and concrete to build high rise towers with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. “The project sets a new model for high rise construction that captures carbon, prioritizes prefabrication and contributes to a resilient, low carbon urban future,” the awards judges write.

Here’s a prototype that is. The ADAPT! Building for Climate Adapted Urban Housing was selected as the 2026 @architizer Vision Awards Editor’s Choice Winner in the Vision for Multi-Unit Housing category. The Awards recognize groundbreaking solutions shaping the built environment. Swipe through to learn more.

It is also made to perform in a variety of environments, including subtropical megacities and much colder northern urban centres. The prototype is designed to withstand heat, storms, flooding, and wildfire smoke – conditions most housing today ignores. It is also made to perform in a variety of environments, including subtropical megacities and much colder northern urban centres. The ground floor is galvanized steel, concrete, and stone – materials chosen to take a flood without structural or finish damage. Above it, a mass timber structure keeps embodied carbon low while meeting the same performance standard as conventional buildings. The ground floor is galvanized steel, concrete, and stone – materials chosen to take a flood without structural or finish damage. Above it, a mass timber structure keeps embodied carbon low while meeting the same performance standard as conventional buildings. These perforated aluminum shutters do two jobs: they shield the building in storms and cut solar heat gain the rest of the year. Building temperature is moderated through passive cooling systems, such as shade and vines covering outside walls. The rooftop features solar panels, battery storage, and water tanks. These ensure a reliable supply of electricity and drinking water in the event of city-wide outages caused by extreme weather. All these features come without compromising performance standards, cost, or livability. As a certified B Corp, DIALOG is committed to improving the wellbeing of our communities and environment. 19 Oct 2026 DIALOG’s Vancouver studio opened its doors for @designvanfest ‘Reuse Railtown’, a hands-on workshop created in partnership with @petitarchitect that invited families, kids, and design lovers to imagine new possibilities for the historic Railtown district in Vancouver. From adaptive reuse to building retrofits, it was inspiring to explore how design can shape the future of this city. Thank you to everyone who joined us! We look forward to the next one. 🎥 Watch the highlights and creativity in action! #DIALOG #Design #DVF26 #AdaptiveReuse 20 Oct 2026 Bio-based materials such as wood, hemp, and even straw can be very effective construction materials – and Canada is well-positioned to make greater use of them, according to a new white paper by the Climate Smart Buildings Alliance and DIALOG. While some of these plant-based products aren’t normally considered for modern buildings, “Bio-Based Materials in Canadian Construction” finds when properly manufactured, they have proven to be durable, fire resistant, and highly effective at thermal insulation. They also deliver meaningful climate benefits. So that the country can take full advantage of high-value bio-based products, the study calls on government and industry to take several steps in response, including: ➡️ Advancing prefabricated bio-based products to enable easier adoption ➡️ Enabling strategic pilot projects in larger buildings to create Canadian precedents ➡️ Providing stronger technical review and guidance to designers, owners, insurers, and authorities 🔗Read the full white paper at the link in our bio. #DIALOG #Design #BioBasedMaterials #Construction 15 Oct 2026
