Claude Cormier has made a $500,000 commitment to his alma mater, the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto to support Masters in Landscape Architecture (MLA) students.
The Claude Cormier Award in Landscape Architecture will annually cover the domestic tuition fees of an MLA student, in their third and final year, who “shows promise to pursue creative and pioneering forms or approaches to practice.”
The scholarship builds on gifts that Cormier has made to the school since 2000, and is the largest private gift designated to U of T’s landscape architecture program. The scholarship was established in 2020 and is now being announced publicly as the Daniels Faculty has returned to in-person learning.
“This is an important moment for landscape architecture,” says Cormier. “There is growing recognition that landscape architecture is not about selecting plants to adorn a building, but rather that landscape is integral to making meaningful places. Landscape architecture is about drawing connections between people and buildings, connecting natural ecosystems with urban environments, and positively steering the health of ourselves and our planet. We need to support the next generation of landscape architects to discover new ways of designing for our built environment.”

I love the mural, takes a bland and sterile glass wall and adds some excitement and colour to it. No where better to do this than on a university building, and I'm sure the students appreciate it. Bonus points for incorporate indigenous art to remind us of the land that we're utilizing and benefitting from is in-fact traditional lands of our first nations communities.

Looks like they tried to highlight the black figures in the middle by outlining them in white, but they are still hard to make out. They might have been better in a brighter colour.
I don't generally like murals either, but this one is nice and simple and doesn't try to "fill the space".

Murals, for me, always seem like an art form trapped in the 1970's. (not in any good way)

It looks beautiful in those photos. All the exposed brick doesn't seem good from an environmental perspective, though.
