Why does Ottawa lack quality Architecture Firms?
It seems that the best buildings being put up as of late in Ottawa are from Montreal based firms like Neuf or large corporate firms like Perkins and HOK. My question is where is Ottawa's local design talent?
It just doesnt make sense considering Carleton is a relatively good school where grads regularly get placement at "starchitecture" offices all over the world.
As far as award winning practices Winnipeg has 546 and Public City, the Halifax area has Omar Gandhi and Mackay Lyons Sweetapple + many other talented firms that have come out of Dalhousie, in Calgary there is MODA, Hindle, and Marc Boutin
It seems to me that this is not a question of having a hot real estate market or being a large city. Rather, there is something else at play here.
