Located near Toronto&#8217;s downtown lakeshore, Love Park brings literal heart to public space. Like much of the late Montreal landscape architect&#8217;s work, among which were many gifts to Toronto, <strong>Claude Cormier<\/strong>&#8216;s Love Park is both heartfelt and cheeky. This is the same genius who created a fountain replete with sculptures of dogs and cats, who fashioned a pink-umbrella-ed beach next to an industrial sugar factory and so much more!<\/p>\n<p>Cormier brought a distinctly queer sensibility to landscape and urban design \u2013 and one of my other absolute favourite works by his studio is <em>18 Shades of Gay<\/em>, which canopied Sainte-Catherine Street in Montreal&#8217;s Gay Village with a rainbow of balloons. Sadly, the work has since been taken down, but anyone who walked under its multi-hued glow will tell you that the joy it inspired is timeless. <em>Photos of Love Park, c\/o CCxA, top photo of 18 Shades of Gay by @ouramdream, bottom photo by Jean-Michael Seminaro.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=598817\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-598817 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-2-810x1080.jpg\" alt=\"People interact inside an art gallery; a large circular photograph of a person in a red shirt and blue sky is displayed on a concrete pillar in the background.\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-2-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-2-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=598818\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-598818 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-e1770911910720-810x590.jpg\" alt=\"Four people view large, framed photographs of figures in bedrooms on display in a modern art gallery with concrete floors and exposed ceilings.\" width=\"810\" height=\"590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-e1770911910720-810x590.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-e1770911910720-800x583.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-e1770911910720-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Jeff-Wall-e1770911910720.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Jeff Wall Retrospective at MOCA<\/h2>\n<p>On until March 22 at Toronto&#8217;s MOCA, <a href=\"https:\/\/moca.ca\/exhibitions\/jeff-wall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Jeff Wall Photographs 1984\u20132023<\/em><\/a>, is a monumental retrospective focused on one of Canada&#8217;s most respected living artists.

Born in Zimbabwe, raised in South Africa and now based in Florida, she created the much-talked-about <a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/nicole-nomsa-moyo-unveils-pearl-jam-for-miami-design-week\/\">Pearl Jam<\/a> installation as part of Design Miami 2024. This work, installed at the Palm Court in the Miami Design District, pulled from her cultural heritage and referenced the artisanal jewelry of Ndebele, South Africa. Its sculptural outdoor furnishings included a necklace-shaped bench and &#8220;earrings&#8221; suspended from trees.<\/p>\n<p>The pieces draw from the formal language of the Ndebele tribe as well as from Moyo&#8217;s own distinctive personal style and appreciation for the symbols of womanhood. In the Ndebele tribe, the women have typically owned the roles of artisans and architects, applying bold hues to houses and public spaces. And here, Moyo channels that sensibility with a new twist and undeniable passion. I can&#8217;t wait to see what she does next.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=598823\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-598823 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-810x810.jpg\" alt=\"A tall floor lamp designed to look like a blue pen stands next to a pink couch, green paneled wall, and a wooden side table with books and plates as decor.\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-810x810.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=598822\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-598822 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-2-810x957.jpg\" alt=\"A modern office with beige furniture, red chairs, a desk, filing shelves, and a large ceiling light shaped like a red pen.\" width=\"810\" height=\"957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-2-810x957.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-2-800x946.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-2-768x908.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/02\/Take-5-Elizabeth-Pagliacolo-Seletti-Bic-Lamp-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Seletti&#8217;s Bic Pen light<\/h2>\n<p>Italian housewares brand <a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/tag\/seletti\/\">Seletti<\/a> always puts a smile on my face.

I must have taken a hundred photos, but was particularly obsessed with Scarpa&#8217;s placement of the equestrian statue Cangrande I della Scala outside a gallery and suspended above a courtyard on an L-shaped concrete support. This moment captures the virtuosity of the architect&#8217;s reimagining of a tired medieval fortress into a vibrant museum. It exemplifies the height of adaptive reuse \u2013 to borrow an underwhelming term for such a colossal juxtaposition between old and new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive
