Great design bridges past and future, creating spaces that evolve with us.
Our built environment is in a constant state of beautiful evolution. At Forma, we believe that architecture and design are deeply personal—they dictate how we live, grow, and connect across every stage of life. As a community of designers, architects, engineers, trades, builders, suppliers, students and creators, we are constantly tasked with bridging what was with what will be. Whether we are exploring innovative new builds, thoughtful restorations, or the visionary people shaping our industry, our mission remains the same: to look beyond the aesthetics. We invite you to explore the human stories woven into the brick, light, and landscapes of the spaces we inhabit. Thank you to everyone who reads, contributes, and shares in this vision.

E-Magazine - May 2026
Issue: May 31, 2026
The May 2026 issue of Forma The Magazine explores the powerful themes of rebirth and connection within our built environment. This edition highlights how thoughtful design bridges the past with the future by breathing new life into historic spaces. Readers will discover the stunning restoration of Toronto’s Allan Gardens Palm House , the adaptive reuse of La Caserne in Old Quebec , and Montreal’s industrial transformation with Vivre 2. We also examine modern living solutions, from the gentle urban density of Toronto’s Montrose Sixplex to Taktik Design’s refreshing approach to senior living at Cloria. Featuring insights on hands-on design education , a profile on Margaret Brosnan , and Luminaire Authentik's new lighting collection , this issue celebrates the human stories woven into the brick and light of today's architecture
