Fascinated with shoemaking, Moriyama incorporated leather in the signage, designed bronze medallions depicting shoes that appear on the handrails and gallery doors, and placed images of workshop tools across a window in the main lobby space. ","Visitor Experience":"Visitors will be some of the first to see the museum's newest exhibition, 'Manolo Blahnik: The Art of Shoes', a stunning retrospective by one of the world's most innovative and influential designers.  Visitors can also view 'All About Shoes: Footwear Through the Ages' with a new addition, 'Behind the Scenes'; 'The Gold Standard: Glittering Footwear from Around the World' and 'Art & Innovation:  Traditional Arctic Footwear From the Bata Shoe Museum Collection'.

Although the Jewish population within the Junction has decreased considerably since the time of the synagogues founding, Knesseth Israel continues to perform weddings and bar mitzvahs. In the 1980s the television show Evergreen was filmed at the synagogue as well as the highly acclaimed movie 'IT', shot in 2016. ","Visitor Experience":"The building is two storeys high, so the sanctuary is separated into two distinct levels. The womens gallery on the top floor is a three-sided upper-level balcony, which provides the women with ideal seating to observe the services being conducted below. The lower level of the sanctuary similarly has three sides of seating facing the center and is used to accommodate the men. The ark, or aron kodesh, depicting the 10 Commandments and housing the Torah scrolls, is situated against the eastern wall, so that, in accordance with religious law, the congregation always faces towards Jerusalem. In the center of the sanctuary stands the bimah, an elevated platform with four illuminated corners, from where the prayer services are conducted. Both the ark and the bimah are skillfully crafted in oak and were likely made by Heintzman cabinet makers, who were early members of the congregation.

Revolutionary features such as mechanical stock displays, a pneumatic tube network for relaying messages, and an 'electrical eye' that scanned and transmitted the exchange's master ticker tape across North America inspired Time magazine to hail the TSX as 'the most up-to-date trading floor in the world.' While this technology was eventually replaced when the TSX moved to First Canadian Place in 1983, the most iconic features of the building remain: the interior murals and exterior frieze by Canadian artist Charles F. Comfort.","Visitor Experience":"Visitors will get rare access to the Design Exchange's historic trading floor; a beautiful landmark of Canadian design from the interwar period. Visitors will be encouraged to focus on the doors themselves - designed in 1937 by Charles F. Comfort, the stainless steel medallions on the front doors reflect the stylistic blend of art deco and streamlined moderne that make this building so unique. Drop in to the ground-floor studio to silkscreen your favourite medallion design onto t-shirts and tote bags to take home. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own t-shirts or bags to silkscreen onto. Design Exchange was used a location for the film 'Owning Mahowny' in 2003.

JICS research led directly to the adoption of the Ontario Day Nurseries Act (1942). Today, JICS which is part of OISE, U of T, continues to lead the way in researching how children learn and teacher education.  Ontario's Full-Day Kindergarten program was modelled in large part on JICS findings. 45 Walmer Rd was built by Henry Sproatt for Leighton McCarthy, politician and diplomat, and was donated in 1953 to JICS. JICS was the first multidisciplinary institute at U of T consisting of three fully integrated components: graduate teacher education program, Laidlaw Research Centre and Lab School. In 2010, Dr. Eric Jackman donated $5 million, the largest Canadian gift for childhood education. ","Visitor Experience":"Students and recent graduates of the school will tour visitors through the Institute (usually open only to reps from the Ministries of Education, public school boards, teacher-educators & researchers).

The congregation started meeting in 1914, received a provincial charter in 1918,  and had two former homes. Due to its size and age, the simple design of the present building differs dramatically from newer synagogues erected in Toronto.

In the 1980s the congregation underwent a revival by younger worshippers.

Fearful of war with the United States, Simcoe planned to establish a naval base at Toronto so he could control Lake Ontario. Simcoe also moved the capital to Toronto from the exposed border town of Niagara. Civilian settlement followed and a community, named York, began to grow two kilometres east of the Fort. In 1834 York was renamed Toronto. The original log buildings deteriorated quickly and a new barracks was built east of the present site in the late 1790s. It was these buildings that were destroyed during the War of 1812. Fort York was rebuilt between 1813 and 1816 and most of the buildings date from that time. Fort York opened as a museum in 1934 and today the fortified walls surround Canada's largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings.","Visitor Experience":"Visitors will experience special tours dealing with military architecture, tours of the barracks and fortifications, and a wide range of exhibits telling the story of Fort York's and Canada's military past.

An international landmark, it has attracted the likes of Oscar Peterson, Winston Churchill, Neil Young, Diana Krall and Harry Styles.

Remaining true to Masseys vision, the organization devotes much of its focus on education initiatives and artist development programs. In order to logistically and successfully accommodate these needs, the National Historic Site is currently in the midst of a revitalization - a seven-year, multi-phase project to renew both the interior and exterior of the hall plus the construction of a new tower. All of this to ensure that the lives of Canadians continue to be enriched through arts, employment, and cultural celebration for generations to come.","Visitor Experience":"Visitors will get a rare opportunity to step behind the scenes of Canada's favourite music venue before it temporarily closes its iconic red doors in July (to reopen in 2020).

Moriyama accepted the Seneca@York project because he was interested in education, combined as an academic and practical practice. At the time there was nothing like that, he says. It was almost a no-no for a university to join with a college. College was more for training people for practical stuff, while university was different and more theory-based. Seneca@York was the first to recognize this need for corporations to combine for the sake of the students.","Visitor Experience":"Visitors to Doors Open will immediately be struck by the architectural features of the building, an openness filled with natural light and wide spaces for movement and exploration.

Along with the economic boom of the 1920s, as the city expanded northward, the empty fields and dirt roads of Mount Pleasant quickly made way for the residential neighbourhoods of Leaside, to the east, and Davisville, to the west. In 1953, the Belsize underwent a lengthy renovation to become The Crest Theatre, operating exclusively as a stage theatre for an interim of nearly 30 years. Many felt that a theatre for Canadian talent was needed, and so it was that the Crest interceded to fill this position. In March of 1971, the theatre began screening films once again. In 1988, it was again extensively renovated and reopened as The Regent Theatre.","Visitor Experience":"Visitors will experience the site in the context of the neighbourhood of Davisville Village and see it through the eyes of a new generation of Torontonians as part of a special project in partnership with Culture of Cities. Visitors can contemplate the Regent Theatre's 90-year-old past, and its ongoing presence as a community hub and post-production facility for some of Canada's leading films. Student screenings and tours of the cinema will take place. Vintage projectors, film posters of films completed and tested on the theatre's state of the art sound system, along with placards describing the cinema's architectural heritage will be on display.  Enjoy vintage favourites at the concession stand and learn how officials threatened to shut down the 'illegal candy bar' in 1947.

One of four original LCBO warehouses constructed at the end of Prohibition, the building was renovated into offices in 1956, adding two storeys and the modern facade and ribbon windows that characterize both the Adelaide and Lombard St. elevations. In 2014, SvN completed a building renovation that is architecturally imaginative, and grounded in a respect for the heritage of the building. The building today is a creative industry warehouse with a music and sound production company on the first two floors, a software development firm on the third, and the head office of SvN on the fourth. A roof amenity with lounge seating provides views across St. James Park. The offices of SvN were developed through a highly collaborative design process in which all staff were involved.","Visitor Experience":"SvN is one of the only integrated design firms that has urban designers, planners, architects, and landscape architects under one roof. As such, they are able to transform big ideas into bricks and mortar. SvN are market leaders in housing and mobility, and have worked in almost all the major transit-corridors of Toronto and the GTA. SvNs mobility practice supports transit-oriented intensification by helping unlock opportunities for growth such as housing, community amenities, complete streets and a rich public realm. Throughout the day, SvN architects and planners will present projects around the themes of mobility and housing through highly graphical and interactive presentations and discussions.  SvN is part of the Toronto Society of Architects' Open Studio program. For more information visit the special project's webpage.

Various prior uses range from a flour mill supplying local bakeries to a furniture warehouse, a car-repair garage, a carpenters shop, and a neighbourhood junkyard. In 2012, it became the primary studio of TACT Architecture.  The many lives of the structure are indicative of how adaptive re-use of buildings can both reflect and contribute to an evolving neighbourhood.  In its current incarnation, the building is representative of the modernist principles of efficiency and form. It was re-built quickly, at low cost, and is an example of the studios belief in uncovering the highest value through efficient design.","Visitor Experience":"During Doors Open 2018, the studio will have many of its designers and architects on hand to speak about the past and present use of the building.  Photographs of prior use and images taken during construction will also be on display. As TACT Architecture specializes in residential infill projects, there will be several projects on display throughout the studio that many people in the community may be familiar with. New and upcoming projects will also be featured with various in-progress images and live 3D computer visualizations. As part of Doors Open 2018, our team will engage the participant in the design and approvals process for new residential buildings in the City. TACT Architecture is part of the Toronto Society of Architects' Open Studio program. For more information visit the special project's webpage.

Visitors can wander through the chapel where the treasures and memorials of the former Anglican Parish of St. Alban's are preserved. Far from being a museum, St. Alban's is now the spiritual home to Royal Saint George's College, a private boy's school specializing in choral and instrumental music.  The site was used as a location in a feature film. ","Visitor Experience":"Visitors to the site will be greeted by students of the school and entertained by periodic choral and instrumental presentations. There will be a display of student work focussing on film and the visual arts.  There will be a presentation of student films on a continuous loop. This will be projected on one of the chapel walls to serve as a backdrop to the other presentations. Many of the films were shot in the chapel itself. Students will be present to discuss their work. The adult band, the Rusty Knights, perform at the event at 2 pm, Sunday May 27th.
