St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, invites Architects, Designers and Multidisciplinary Teams to participate in an open anonymous international design competition. The competition includes a campus master plan and the basic architectural idea of a Cathedral to seat a congregation of approximately 2000, second Church to seat 1000, Bishop's residence, academic school, day care, community centre, museum, retirement home, senior citizen apartment building and office building.

The project is envisioned to create a land-mark and state-of-the-art design that blends traditional concepts with all its historical and spiritual values, providing an idyllic space of peace, serenity and beauty; a symphony of shape, texture and colour expressing the religious aspect of the Christian Coptic Orthodox faith and tradition, yet in a modern vocabulary. The main objective of the competition is to achieve a layout of the proposed Village with appropriate spatial relationships of its components on a city block of twelve acres at the entrances of the Town of Markham and the City of Toronto, Ontario.

The Copts are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians with a history dating back to the times of the Pharaohs. They were converted to Christianity by St. Mark the apostle at the beginning of the Christian era and played a prominent role in the formation of the early Christian doctrine. In recent years there has been considerable emigration of Copts to North America and the Toronto Coptic community has grown rapidly. The Church is the central focus of the Copts' sense of identity, faith, and communal support. St. Mark's is the first Coptic Orthodox Church established in North America, and this Project celebrates its fortieth anniversary. The congregation hopes for a sublime expression of their faith, traditions and spiritual values in a contemporary architectural vocabulary.
