About ERA Architects: Our core interest is in connecting heritage to wider considerations of urban design and city building, and to a larger set of cultural values that provide perspective to our work at every scale. Our core values are in generating professional integrity and expertise through research, education and mentoring. To that end ERA frequently works collaboratively with other firms to engage in city building, conserving heritage architecture and improving the built environment. We also generate publications and exhibitions related to Toronto and to Canada’s built environment. The firm’s most recent book is The Ward: The Life and Loss of Toronto’s First Immigrant Neighbourhood, a documentation of Irish, African-American, Jewish, Chinese, and Italian immigration to the Ward, spanning from the 1870s to 1950s.
