Moriyama Teshima Architects
Practice information
Founded1958

Moriyama Teshima Architects (MTA), formerly Moriyama & Teshima Architects, is a Canadian architectural practice with offices in Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario.[1] MTA has completed projects in North America, Europe, and Asia.[2] The firm's portfolio includes museums, libraries, educational facilities, corporate and government headquarters, recreational centers, and work on restoration, renovation, and campus planning.[3]

Moriyama Teshima Architects is recognized as a notable Canadian practice, having been the recipient of six Governor General's Awards for Architecture.[4]

History[edit]

Founded on May 1, 1958, by Raymond Moriyama with an initial capital of $392.00, the firm began in the Yorkville, Toronto neighbourhood. Its first project was a bespoke cottage in Algonquin Provincial Park. In 1961, Ted Teshima joined the firm, which led to the commissioning of some of the practice's most significant projects, the Japanese Canadian Noor Cultural Centre in 1963 and the Ontario Science Centre in 1964.[5][6]

Ontario Science Centre

The partnership between Moriyama and Teshima was formalized in 1970. The firm's portfolio expanded to include educational facilities and landmark projects like the Metro Toronto Reference Library and Science North.[5][7][8] The subsequent decades saw the company's size and portfolio grow with projects like Museum London,[9] the MacDonald Stewart Art Centre,[10] and the North York Central Library[11]

Through the 2000's, MTA completed notable civic projects such as the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat[12] and the Canadian War Museum, both recipients of the Governor General's Medal in Architecture.[13][14]

The firm continued its growth into the 2010s with notable projects for post-secondary institutions. The practice moved to its current location at 117 George Street in Toronto in 2011.[1] In 2023, Moriyama & Teshima Architects was renamed Moriyama Teshima Architects.
