Dozens of grand old buildings fell to the wrecker’s ball in the postwar rush to modernize and renew the city. so when a building that somehow survived the years of careless destruction gets a makeover, and a brilliant one at that, the only thing to do is stand up and cheer.”

Marcus Gee from Toronto’s The Globe and Mail writes on the revitalization of the Knox College building at One Spadina Crescent and the new home of the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design. Read the full article HERE.
