Megan Torza featured in TMU x MAXXI Exhibition

DTAH Partner Megan Torza will be featured in an internationally recognized exhibit celebrating women in architecture.

From the MAXXI Museum in Rome, “Buone Nuove: Good News from Italy,” is a traveling exhibition that presents the work of women Italian designers to an international audience and recognizes their significant contributions and achievements. By highlighting their work, the exhibition aims to address the historical underrepresentation and to celebrate the accomplishments of these designers.

The Toronto exhibition is presented in partnership with Toronto Metropolitan University Department of Architectural Science, after traveling to cities including Doha, Qatar; Stockholm, Sweden; and New Delhi, India.

Megan is one of 14 prominent women architects in the region selected for the local component of the exhibition, which focuses on their leadership, mentorship, and advocacy. The exhibit also presents community-inclusive projects that exemplify their commitment to designing innovative and inspiring spaces.

As an architect and urban designer, Megan’s professional development has been influenced by a strong personal interest in sustainability and adaptive reuse and the integration of contemporary architecture into historic urban fabric. The award-winning Tommy Thompson Park Entrance and Pavilion is featured in this exhibition for its successful embodiment of the rich history of the Leslie Street Spit, while providing a new front door to the park that is welcoming, engaging and ecologically sensitive to its context.
