Prompted by Doors Open ads I saw in the subway today, I checked out the new Doors Open website (no longer doorsopen.org, but now pages within the City of Toronto website). The list of participating buildings is up (but as of now has not yet been finalized).

Kick-off the Doors Open Toronto weekend in style when we co-host the launch of Design City Toronto, a new book on Toronto's architectural renaissance, and present the first-ever Pecha Kucha Toronto event.
Design City Toronto moves from the page to the stage when Bruce Kuwabara, Jack Diamond, Christina Zeidler and other top Toronto architects, innovators and designers present visual highlights of their work in a fast-paced showcase of 20 images in less than 6 minutes each. Learn more about Toronto's hottest properties like the Evergreen Commons at the Brick Works, Ontario College of Art and Design, the Royal Ontario Museum, Drake Hotel, Canada's National Ballet School and more.
Pecha Kucha is derived from the Japanese term for the sound of conversation (chit-chat). This informal, informative exchange of ideas features a Q-and-A following the presentations, a DJ, prizes and refreshments. Design City Toronto authors Sean Stanwick and Jennifer Flores and photographer Tom Arban will be on hand to sign copies of their book.
Already popular in more than 42 cities, including London, Buenos Aires, Rotterdam, Shanghai, and Mexico City, the Pecha Kucha movement comes to Toronto. Visit many of the venues featured in the book and at Pecha Kucha Toronto on the Doors Open Toronto weekend.
Please check back in late April for more details.
