This blog is about a landscape architect student studying at ECA (Edinburgh College of Art) and currently on exchange in Guelph, Canada, this blog will focus on exploration and the experiences, insights and reflections during this exchange here in Canada.
I have been told on several occasions by different lecturers and visiting professionals in the educational system that landscape architecture is a lot of things, but "...it's not art". A statement that sometimes feels a bit narrowed minded to make, but can hold some truth to it. //-Jacob

Toronto

Finally I made it in to Toronto. First sample of the city. Went with a couple of friends just over the day. It was a freezing day with cold winds. But despite that we struggled on walking around the central parts of the city.


No I didn't eat at Big Fat Burrito, something tells me I wouldn't like it. But I will never know.

A lot of tram wires in the corner giving some interesting angles and details.
Sometimes I just find it more interesting to document people documenting things then the things themselves.
Outside of the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Don't know what it is, but I find beauty in this.


Walking in to China town in Toronto.

Didn't eat lunch here either...
Stuff like this makes me think. Someone must be designing this crap somewhere. I wonder who that person is and what a day in their life looks like. That person perhaps was sitting on a train a late September afternoon with her/his sketchbook drawing the the basic design for that wolf hat.
Don't really know why I posted this photo, horrible font though.
Would like to see more street art like this in the city.
10 points to the Italian Consulate for this amazing Italian/Canadian Da Vinci moose on their front lawn!
Wires and church, perhaps one of the wires connect them with the big boss.




The city hall in Toronto.

Sick kids!


Zvezdan trying to outdraw me in a photo shoot out.
Visiting Dundas Square, also called Times Square of Toronto. Busy place with a lot of people and strange unfocused energy.
I went back to the City Hall after the sun set. Now even colder outside, but the futuristic lighting of the building was definitely worth it.
Nathan Phillips square in front of the City Hall had a ice skating area and was quite busy even after dark. Great energy with families, couples and friends laughing, falling and showing off.

Beam me up. Ready to go back home to Guelph.
