Megan Torza presenting at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture

DTAH Partner Megan Torza will give a talk at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture on placemaking for an evolving culture and climate. As our region continues to urbanize, public projects such as parks, plazas, and market pavilions are increasingly proposed within floodplains or brownfields, where the line between public amenity and infrastructure is blurred. These projects are also asked to incorporate adaptability and resilience (both relating to programming and climate) while delivering an authentic user experience unique to their time and place. Using recent work on the Niagara Falls Exchange, the Brampton Riverwalk Master Plan, and Evergreen Brick Works as examples, Megan will elaborate upon the current placemaking design opportunities and some of the challenges faced by designers tackling projects intended to serve the public good.
