Collaboration Projects

Due to Canadian law, international architects that aren't licensed in Canada need to work with a Canadian firm in order to be approved. And because building codes vary from region to region, working with localized firms makes the design process easier.

• Toronto Eaton Centre — worked with Architect Eberhard Zeidler 1977–1982
• Royal Ontario Museum — with Daniel Libeskind on Michael Chin-Lee Crystal 2007–2010
• Toronto-Dominion Centre — worked with Architect Mies van der Rohe 1967–1969
