DIALOG® is the language of collaboration. The name conveys the firm’s
uniquely collaborative approach, founded upon engagement of clients and
communities by multidisciplinary teams in an interactive planning and design
process that encompasses architecture, engineering, interior design, planning,
urban design, and landscape architecture services. It is an approach that has
garnered international recognition for the firm’s outstanding contributions to
the public realm and the design of cities.
At DIALOG, our philosophy is to deliver outstanding solutions that leave a
lasting, positive mark on the community. Our people are unabashedly clientfocused and passionate about their work – and our culture embodies talent,
energy, creativity, integrity, tenacity, problem-solving ability, teamwork,
and a sense of fun. In a world of increasing challenges in the way Canadians
live, move, and work, DIALOG is a strong voice for innovative thinking and
sustainable leadership – a discussion that benefits from the collaboration of
people with unique perspectives and skills. One of our firm’s core values is
sustainable design, and we bring that value to all of our projects. We typically
examine a project’s impact on its physical environment, on energy sources and
occupants, and its consumption of natural resources.
In support of sustainable design, the firm employs over 130 LEED® Accredited
Professionals in all disciplines. Hands-on leadership is provided by our 41
principals. Augmenting their hands-on leadership is an exceptional team of 80+
associates who play key roles in the day-to-day operation of our studios and
projects. DIALOG attributes its strength to its multidisciplinary team of over
550 people who collaborate among studios in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton,
and Toronto.
