Architecture & Planning - Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Burka Architects was established in 1971 with the objective of full participation in the rapidly evolving urban design environment. To this end, our office pursued excellence in design through respect for user, function, form, economy, context and environment as well as style.The total built building area designed by this firm exceeds 7,000,000 square meters over more than four decades of practice. The firm prepares master plans, feasibility studies, conceptual plans, design and construction drawings and supervises construction. This office perceives that the concept of any good project is rooted in the existing physical and cultural context and in the marketplace specific to its area. Hence, the building form is a direct result of a dialogue between marketing experts, the parameters of zoning restrictions, construction costs and design efficiency consideration and appropriate "architectural style. Our ultimate objective is to maximize the total "value" of the project. It means value to the builder and the purchaser as well as to society at large.
