'We are going to do this together—Reflections on a bio-regional design research trip' is a piece authored by DIALOG associate and architect Ryan McClanaghan, published in Canadian Architect magazine. Ryan is the latest recipient of DIALOG's Iris Prize, an internal research and travel grant awarded annually to explore innovative design ideas that improve the wellbeing of communities. Ryan reflects on his research trip and discusses the bio-regional design framework – an approach in which the process of construction becomes as important as the design itself with novel techniques, and often new materials being created. By integrating local materials and processes, architects can create buildings that are both environmentally responsible and deeply connected to their surroundings. The article explores the growing trend in architecture towards sustainability and community-focused design, emphasizing the importance of collective effort in advancing these practices.

Introducing our latest work for the National accessArts Centre. Designed by DIALOG and located in Calgary, the new home of Canada's oldest disability arts organization certainly has a unique expression.

In honour of Tom Sutherland, every year we host a design residency with students from multiple faculties (architecture, engineering, public health, landscape architecture, urban planning, art…). We fly them from their different home universities to colabore on a design challenge. This year they explored the idea of “play” in Kensington Market in Toronto. They knocked it out of the park!
