TORONTO \u2014 Worldwide design practices WW+P and SvN have announced they are merging, unifying their teams of architects, urban planners, urban designers and landscape architects.<\/p>\n
The new practice will integrate planning, urban design, landscape and architecture to deliver projects that are people-focused, inventive and responsible, a release reads. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Headquartered in London, WW+P (formerly Weston Williamson + Partners) is a global leader in the design and delivery of architecture, urban design and strategic master planning for city-shaping projects. Headquartered in Toronto, SvN is a multidisciplinary regenerative design practice.<\/p>\n
Both have experience in transit-oriented development, transport infrastructure and more, the release adds.<\/p>\n
The joint practice will merge with 12 combined global studios and adopt the name and branding of WW+P, under the stewardship of 10N Collective, a collective of urbanism, architecture and related design experts brought together by Egis Group.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cThe DNA of both practices is remarkably similar,\u201d adds\u00a0Drew Sinclair<\/a>, managing principal of SvN in a statement.\u00a0\u201cBoth practices place a unique value on listening, meaningful consultation, and a deep understanding of history and context; both practices share a capacity for design innovation; and both practices have a total commitment to a regenerative, deeply sustainable, approach to planning and architecture.<\/p>\n \u201cThe merger of our two practices stands to create something that is truly unprecedented in the global community of design practices: a firm that will create a measurable change in the way infrastructure and housing can support a greener and more equitable future.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n Post merger Sinclair will join the global executive leadership team as executive director<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
