Prices just need to be higher for Kitchener to get better architecture. As much as it can be argued that unique or attractive design doesn't have to be more expensive the reality is that most designers can't make that happen.
A lot of grads do work locally, but most of architecture is the more 'mundane' tasks related to fitting all the building essentials in the space, maximizing number of units/square footage, ensuring the building meets code, etc., which the rest of us don't really notice if done right. There's only so much room for the visionaries and creative people at a firm.
