We’re delighted to be one of six finalists to have presented our concept design yesterday for Block 2 of Canada's Parliament. Our proposal is respectful to the dignity of the Parliamentary Triad and Indigenous Peoples building and seeks to reinforce the visual and symbolic pre-eminence of Parliament Hill.
Our design presents a new identity, embracing all the peoples of Canada through a series of buildings that move beyond the architectural motifs of an empire which defined many of the surrounding buildings. This new identity reflects the broad diversity of modern-day Canadians, based on mutual respect and a shared connection with nature, the seasons, Canada’s distinct regions and its unique landscapes.
