University of Toronto Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design
- University of Toronto Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design
The John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, or simply the al&d, is the school of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada.
The Faculty occupies a heavy masonry building on College Street that was once the university's School of Dentistry. By breaking open the façade, the architects have created visual connections between a new gallery, the library, and the street. The bold new window, with its large sheets of glass, changes the scale of the building projecting the new identity of the school of design to the city.
History
A Department of Architecture was established at the University of Toronto in 1890, making it the first architecture programme in Canada. The five-year Bachelor of Architecture was created in 1928, and the department was renamed the School of Architecture in 1933. Courses in town and regional planning were added in 1933, and the landscape courses were offered in 1934. In 1967 the school was granted faculty status with three departments: Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning.
In 1998 the University of Toronto approved a name change for the division to Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, heralding the establishment of a suite of new graduate programmes: Master of Architecture, Master of Landscape Architecture, and Master of Urban Design.
