Architectural Digest invades Toronto in September

Architectural Digest, the grandmummy of shelter, interior design and architecture magazines, is bringing its road show to Toronto September 24-30. Architecture Days had previously been held in only New York and San Francisco (and continues to be).

The week of events are available only by advance ticket purchase, and include visits to various sites, including the CN Tower, behind the scenes in the kitchens of the Fairmont Royal York, architects' own designer homes, various walking tours (U of T campus, downtown and Rosedale), and entry to the IIDEX/NeoCon Canada trade show at the Ex.

Toronto Star architecture critic Christopher Hume will be leading a panel discussion about Toronto's evolving skyline at the IIDEX show on Thursday, September 27. Individual events range from $15 to $60. [shown is one of the stops on the tour, the Will Allsop-designed Sharp Centre at the Ontario College of Art & Design]
