TORONTO — Infrastructure Ontario has awarded the commission to work with the Province of Ontario on the design and construction of the public realm at Ontario Place to Toronto-based urban design, landscape architecture and environmental planning firm LANDinc and New York design landscape architecture firm Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP).
The public realm will accommodate a range of activities across the site for play, rest and exploration through a blended landscape design with land art, culture and ecologically-based strategies, indicates a release.

“LANDinc and MSP have a strong partnership and proven track record of success,” added Martha Schwartz, founding partner of MSP. “We are thrilled to be collaborating on this exciting project to revitalize this iconic landmark in a sustainable way.”
