CAFÉ Atlantic: Launching a National Conversation on the Built Environment in Canada

What is the future of architecture? On October 7th – world architecture day – over 100 architecture students, educators and professionals gathered in the magical Medjuck Building at Dalhousie University to attempt a response to this difficult question. The occasion was the first in a series of Canadian Architecture Forums on Education, also known as CAFÉs, intended to foster a trans-national conversation on the role of architectural education and research in shaping Canada’s future. The aim is to take the pulse of questions and desires currently on the minds of the next generation of design professionals in order to shape the agenda and priorities of a forward-looking architecture policy for Canada. In addition to regional students, educators and professionals, this first CAFÉ – CAFÉ Atlantic – hosted 10 representatives from four other Canadian schools of architecture, including the University of Calgary, Université Laval, the University of Manitoba, and the University of Toronto.
