A RAW time was had by all…

For their 5th annual industry event, RAW Design – one of Toronto’s newest and most vibrant architectural studios – commissioned a band of graphic illustrators to produce an immersive pictorial commentary on the creative process behind the city’s shifting landscape. Transforming an empty warehouse space at 109 Ossington Ave., floor-to-ceiling graphics depict comic book superheroes as they leap tall buildings, brainstorm, and wrestle with ideas about density, design and streetscape.
