I am a foreign Architect living in Toronto since 2001 and actually working for a company that supplies fixtures for the major condos in GTA.
I have been admiring the excellent contemporary designs and construction systems used in all these new buildings and I really like them, exteriorly.
On the other hand, what I have seen in the last six months on the interior architectural plans is the most bizzarre and low profile living spaces.
From kitchens without drawers, single 60cm closets to washrooms in front or beside a kitchen/stove, the spaces presented by the new wave of "developers" are nothing more than "empty eggs" those certanlly will have to be "redesigned" soon the market get a bit smarter.
So my question is why the OAA and other architectural professional regulators do not open a clear way to promote the integration of foreign professionals Architects? Why the so called "liability" is so important but when the matter is "liveability" it is put in the garbage by a blind side of these regulators?
I am not trying to attack anyone however this matter must be discussed with a little bit less politeness once as an professional of the Architecture I don't agree with the way that individuals and families are being set "smashed" inside of these spaces.
