Developing nonprofit adaptive reuse projects

By Chris Arnold

Reintegrating cities through adaptive reuse

Transforming Cities welcomes Megan Torza, Architect and Partner at DTAH. Megan's professional development has been influenced by a strong personal interest in adaptive reuse and the integration of contemporary architecture into historic urban fabric. She's helped develop and implement two of Toronto’s most beloved community hubs: the Artscape Wychwood Barns and the Evergreen Brick Works — both award-winning, LEED certified examples of the creative adaptive reuse of abandoned industrial facilities for not-for-profit clients.
