Design-forward architecture studio RAW is inviting all architecture buffs, shutterbugs and those interested in city design to contribute photos to a new Harbourfront Centre exhibit ‘TOO TALL?’ launching Sept 30. In conjunction with the Toronto Society of Architects, Harbourfront has invited award-winning architecture firms including RAW, architectsAlliance, KPMB, and visual artist Douglas Walker to engage the public in a debate on the role, benefit and beauty of tall buildings.

Through a social media campaign, RAW is offering the general public a rare opportunity to submit photos to the exhibit and put the debate over tall buildings into perspective. Hundreds of images are needed! Examining scale as a relative term, people are encouraged to send in a quick pic using any device of ANY building they consider to be tall, framed between their thumb and index finger. Could be a building people like or hate, just put it in perspective with a caption up to 140 characters. Is there anything more UrbanToronto than debating the merits of tall buildings? Your pictures will be incorporated into RAW’s ‘TALL IS MORE’ digital installation. Deadline for image submissions is Monday, September 26th.

Images can be submitted via Facebook, Twitter or Email and should include a brief description up to 140 characters. Maximum file size is 600x800 pixels.

‘TOO TALL?’ will launch with a VIP event Friday, September 30th, and will be open to the public from October 1st, 2011 through December 31st, 2011. Harbourfront Centre is located at 235 Queens Quay West, Toronto, ON M5J 2G8. For more information, please visit www.harbourfrontcentre.com
