Extension to a Toronto library. The city is generally obsessed with quantities of green space, but here they’re building on a park instead of the enormous parking lot.

- All public projects should be thought about holistically. Parks, library, streets are all city assets.
- Arch. and landscape are equally important.
- Design decisions should reflect city aspirations. What kind of places do we want to make? Is parking the priority?
Define a good “brief.” State it publicly. Test it. Demand a design that reflects it.
