Overview Filters Map View

A community-sourced resource bringing together hundreds of images and drawings, the TSA Database is a curated guide to modern and contemporary architecture and design in the Greater Toronto Area. From lesser known gems to renowned landmarks, the spaces showcased here have been selected for their importance in telling the story of modern Toronto. Much like our city, this database is a work in progress with new information, images and entries being frequently added.
