Smart Space
 
Smart space begins with a seductive building. The strong is fused to the gentle, squares and rectangles, stainless steel and
hardwood, side by side with curves and rolls, etched glass and colour. The Centre was built for the arts, inspired by the arts.
It is the ultimate theatre and music venue in this city. Easily accessible. Top notch amenities. High class. The building can
make an excellent event truly spectacular. 
 
The Centre is a complete package: three theatres with interconnected lobbies, and a large rehearsal hall. The Centre is
outfitted to handle with ease, theatre and musicals, international touring ballets and operas, experimental and school theatre
groups, corporate and social functions and multi-media presentations.        
 
Architecture
 
The internationally renowned Zeidler Roberts Partnership are the architects responsible for the design of the building. Its
place crowns a metropolitan landscape dotted with Zeidler Roberts creations. In conjunction with phenomenal New York
acoustician Russell Johnson, the Centre is the continuation of profound theatrical design for which they have an international
reputation. 
 
Senior Partner in charge of design Eberhard H. Zeidler is an Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (one of the
only two Canadians to receive this honor) and a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Toronto Arts Awards as
well as the prestigious Order of Ontario. This is to say that Mr. Zeidler and the Zeidler Roberts Partnership know buildings, music, 
theatre and Toronto and the world has proof of it in the Toronto Centre for the Arts.  
      
The Lobby
 
A space for the senses, the lobby of the Toronto Centre for the Arts is designed to enhance one's theatrical experience. 
 
A performance begins here. Just inside the front doors, the building rises 60 feet on currents of glass and steel, a pleasant maze
of lines and curves. A visual motif resonates high and low. The design, based on the harmonic series or overtones, is a graphic
depiction of sound vibrations set into play when a note of music is sounded. This motif or the "physics of music", as Zeidler Roberts
insists, is incorporated into the clearstory lobby glass, into the terrazzo floor and carpet patterns - a reminder that this building is
not just a venue for the arts but is a conduit of the art itself. Cathedral-like columns splay upward like tree branches subtly supporting
the pearlized ceiling. A grand staircase connects a mezzanine to the main floor, a public space surrounded in etched glass and
devoted to the experience of theatre goers.
 
Music and theatre beg social interaction to help define them and the lobby of the Toronto Centre for the Arts is as perfect a
venue for critique and mingling as any of its three theatres are for the performances that will inspire them.
