    Issued For Construction ID: Vanessa Eckstein - Blok Design

    Vanessa Eckstein is the founder and creative director of Blok Design, a Toronto-based graphic design studio with a global reach. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Vanessa was immersed in the arts from an early age, studying painting as a child under a celebrated surrealist painter in the La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. She went on to earn her undergraduate degree in graphic design from the Universidad de Buenos Aires, among the first generations to graduate from the program, before completing her MFA in Intercultural Design at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, among the first cohort to receive a master's degree from that program. Her early career took her through New York, where she worked at Drental Doyle Partners, a renowned design studio, before relocating to Toronto in 1998 to found Blok. After five years, she moved the studio to Mexico City for nine years before returning to Toronto, where Blok has continued to operate ever since. Named after a political magazine from the era of the Russian Revolution, Blok reflects Vanessa's belief that design is most powerful when it serves society. The studio has maintained a deliberately small and nimble team of five to six people throughout its nearly 27-year history, working across brand identity, editorial, publishing, and exhibit design. Beyond Blok, Vanessa is the founder of Rhythm Dialogues, a registered nonprofit and mobile artist residency program housed in a restored 1974 Airstream trailer that travels across Canada. Guided by the theme of Emotional Cartography, the program facilitates interdisciplinary exchange among artists across dance, writing, music, film, theatre, and visual art.

    Issued For Construction AD: Nilton Forest - Office of Sustainable Design & Architecture (OSDA)

    Nilton Forest is a licensed architect, Passive House consultant (PHIUS), and the founder of osda (Office for Sustainable Design Architecture), based in Saint John, New Brunswick. Raised in Taipei, Taiwan, by his mother, Nilton spent much of his formative years in the company of English neighbours from Carlisle who were visiting academics conducting research at the National Palace Museum. That early immersion shaped both his accent and his outlook in ways that stayed with him well into adulthood. Nilton studied chemistry at Tunghai University in Taiwan before switching disciplines and earning his degree in architecture from the same institution. Following graduation, he completed an internship with Claus en Kaan Architecten in Amsterdam, a Dutch firm that has since separated into two independent practices, and contributed to the conversion of a historic building into what is now a well known hotel and cultural destination along Amsterdam's waterfront. After fulfilling his mandatory military service in Taiwan, he built experience across multiple firms and countries before relocating to Saint John to be with his partner and put down roots in New Brunswick. Nilton spent a year as Heritage Architect for the City of Saint John before launching osda, which today stands as the first and only architecture firm in Saint John accredited with the PHIUS passive house consultant credential. In nearly three years of independent practice, he has completed more than 41 projects spanning residential, multi family, heritage conservation, and community development work. He lives outside the city on a 40 acre property with 30 acres of forested trail behind it. ⁠⁠Office of Sustainable Design & Architecture (OSDA)⁠⁠ Next Release: Vanessa Eckstein - BLOK Design Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquanta Pools⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Issued For Construciton ID: Jorge Eckstein - El Zanjón

    Jorge Eckstein is a Buenos Aires-born chemical engineer and entrepreneur whose unlikely second act has become one of Argentina's most celebrated acts of cultural preservation. Raised in Buenos Aires by Hungarian immigrant parents, he built a successful career spanning more than 30 years in the specialty oils and animal fats industry, supplying international companies including Shell, Exxon, Pfizer and Henkel. In 1985, Eckstein purchased a derelict property in the San Telmo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, just blocks from the Casa Rosada, intending it as a financial investment. What began as a restoration of an abandoned 1830 mansion evolved into a decades-long archaeological undertaking. Beneath the structure, workers uncovered a network of tunnels and ruins dating to the 1600s, including what would prove to be the first underground waterway switching system of the city. Eckstein spent 25 years excavating, restoring, and preserving the site entirely by hand, training specialized tradespeople where none existed and pioneering the first urban archaeological escrow agreement of its kind in the city. The result is El Zanjón de Granados, a privately owned museum now welcoming approximately 36,000 visitors annually, among them passengers from international luxury cruise lines. The project has been recognized by Buenos Aires City Council as the most significant urban archaeological undertaking in the city's history. Eckstein is also the father of Vanessa Eckstein, founder and Creative Director of the internationally recognized Toronto-based studio Blok Design. Images of El Zanjón de Granados are available on the Issued for Construction Instagram. ⁠⁠Jorge Eckstein - El Zanjón Next Release: ⁠⁠Office of Sustainable Design & Architecture (OSDA)⁠⁠ Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquanta Pools⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Issued For Construction AD: Monica Adair & Stephen Kopp - Acre Architects

    Monica Adair and Stephen Kopp are the founding partners of Acre Architects, an architectural practice with offices in Saint John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Raised in the prairie town of Morden, Manitoba, Stephen developed an early passion for art and mathematics, earning his undergraduate architecture degree from the University of Manitoba before practicing in Stuttgart, Germany. Monica, a native of Saint John, New Brunswick, grew up in an entrepreneurial family with Mexican and Chinese heritage. Her diverse background includes a year long exchange in Spain, a degree in biology and psychology, and service as a naval officer in the military reserves. She also taught English in Taiwan before pursuing design. The two met at the University of Toronto during their master of architecture studies. After working at prominent firms in Toronto, they relocated to New York to work for Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. There, they contributed to international projects, collaborated with prominent artists, and earned a feature in Dwell magazine that was recently showcased on Instagram. In 2010, they returned to Canada to found Acre Architects. Beginning in a Saint John basement, their first breakthrough was a contemporary sidewalk patio for a local wine bar, which altered city bylaws and achieved international publication. Acre Architects has since grown into a nimble eighteen person team. Guided by a mission to complete one hundred transformational projects by 2030, the firm now executes over two hundred and twenty million dollars in construction value through major institutional and residential partnerships, driving meaningful cultural and economic development across Atlantic Canada. ⁠Acre Architects⁠ Next Release: Jorge Eckstein - El Zanjon Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Aquanta Pools

    Issued For Construction ID: Gelanaz Hemati - Gelanaz & Associates

    Gelanaz Hemati is a Toronto interior designer and founder of Gelanaz and Associates. Raised in Tehran, Iran, as the youngest of three siblings, her interest in construction was sparked by her businessman father, who built the family home and cottage. Though initially discouraged by a teacher, Gelanaz mastered painting step by step, eventually exhibiting her art and studying under the renowned Iranian master Katouzian, where she developed exceptional hand sketching skills. Driven by a love for math and art, Gelanaz earned her architecture degree with honors. At age 27, she began lecturing weekly at her alma mater on hand sketching and abstract design. Her early career included roles at a large urban design firm, head of design at a boutique studio, and 12 years as a partner with two university peers. Together, they designed numerous commercial and residential projects, including the permit expansion and interior design of an 800,000 square foot shopping mall featuring cinemas and multilevel underground parking. Inspired by a trip to London, Gelanaz moved to Canada at age 36. After obtaining permanent residency in Montreal, she relocated to Toronto and studied building envelopes at George Brown College to learn wood frame construction. She rebuilt her practice through local residential projects. During the pandemic, an Instagram post about an award ceremony introduced her to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, or NKBA. She joined, won an award within a two week deadline, served as a judge, and is now in her third year on the board. Today, her firm handles single family residential designs ranging from condos to an 11,000 square foot home. Highly active on site, Gelanaz communicates visually by sketching details directly onto drywall or plywood for tradespeople. Her personal interests include painting, morning reading, fitness, and exploring Ontario via road trips. ⁠⁠Gelanaz & Associates⁠⁠ Next Release: Acre Architects Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquanta Pools⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Issued For Construction AD: Alex Bozikovic - The Globe and Mail

    Alex Bozikovic is the architecture critic for The Globe and Mail and a leading voice on urban design, city planning, and housing politics in Canada. Born and raised in the North York region of Toronto, he grew up exploring the varied built environments of the city. His early experiences visiting his immigrant grandparents in slab apartment towers across Toronto shaped his deep appreciation for urban life and density. A lifelong reader with a passion for storytelling, Alex initially studied English at the University of Toronto and pursued graduate studies at the City University of New York. Realizing he did not want to become an English professor, he pivoted to journalism. He began his career cold calling publications and writing book reviews as a freelance writer. His dedication eventually led to a position at the alternative publication eye weekly, followed by a brief stint at the Toronto Star, and finally a permanent role at The Globe and Mail. At The Globe and Mail, Alex spent nearly a decade refining his craft as a copy editor and assigning editor under the guidance of mentors like Carol Toller. Writing off the side of his desk, he eventually pitched himself to fill the architecture critic role previously held by Lisa Rochon. Today, he combines his literary background with an incisive understanding of civic infrastructure. He advocates for accessible public spaces, zoning reform, and vibrant urban ecosystems. In addition to his journalism, Alex also teaches urban design. ⁠⁠Alex Bozikovic⁠⁠ Impossible Toronto: On The Courtyard Next Release: Lightemotion Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquanta Pools⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
