UrbanToronto – If you have been near Nathan Philips Square recently, you may have noticed a new tower that has risen behind City Hall. It is not the tallest nor the loudest building to have been constructed recently in Toronto, but it is perhaps one of the most significant new civic additions to the city in a generation. The Ontario Court of Justice is the second high-rise courthouse in the country, rising 17 storeys and containing a total of 63 courtrooms. It is designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) and NORR Architects, and will amalgamate justice services from three different locations in the city.
As the courthouse nears completion, a new exhibition on its architects offers a glimpse into the fascinating design process that led to the building that we see today. Presented by Harbourfront Centre in partnership with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto, Piece by Piece: Inside the Renzo Piano Building Workshop offers a rare and intimate look at the design processes of one the world’s most renowned Pritzker Prize-winning architecture firms.
