Live Chat with Architect Donald Schmitt

In our first-ever joint live chat with Torontoist partner the Globe and Mail, Donald Schmitt, of Diamond+Schmitt Architects (Museum subway station, the Four Seasons Centre, Jerusalem City Hall), fielded reader questions ranging from the hue of Museum Station to the importance of infrastructure investment. Toronto is "certainly not a pretty place," he said in response to one question, "but it has vitality."

We at Torontoist are big fans of: architecture, urban design, using technology to facilitate interesting conversations, and, of course, Toronto. It is thus with great pleasure that we will be simultaneously co-presenting, along with our partner the Globe and Mail, a live chat with architect Donald Schmitt, of Diamond+Schmitt Architects, at 1:30 p.m. today. (The firm's résumé includes the Four Seasons Centre and the redesigned Museum subway station, which is about as wide a range of styles as we can imagine.) The subject: Toronto architects going global. Local firms are gaining increasing prominence internationally, and we will discuss the whys and wherefores. You can submit questions here on Torontoist once the chat is underway, or if you're an eager beaver, post them in the comments section of the Globe's article here.
