Michael Taylor founded Taylor Smyth Architects with business partner Robert Smyth, based out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in 2000.

Since the creation of the practice, Taylor Smyth has designed in residential, commercial, educational and community based architecture. The majority of the practice's work is focused on contemporary architecture, blending into modern architecture. Having grown up in Chicago and then moving to England, he had the privilege of traveling all across Europe in high school.

Originally thinking he would become an archeologist, he determined that instead of digging up the old, he wanted to uncover the new, and that led him to study architecture back in Chicago.

Listen to this week's episode, hearing about Michael's interesting path in architecture, starting with a discovery course in Cambridge, at Harvard University.
