For the third year in a row, the RAIC is planning to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with a special online event FREE for RAIC members🤩 ✨Architecture can contribute positively to societal change. Taking an Indigenous perspective into account provides an opportunity to build awareness about the relationship between reconciliation and design. This is an Indigenous-led session that will explore how Indigenous values can influence design in architecture and how the design process itself can be understood as relationship building in pursuit of common goals.✨ We are honoured to announce that David Fortin, PhD, OAA, SAA, Architect AAA, AIBC, MRAIC, Leed AP will be speaking on the topic” Reconciling Reconciliation Through Design.” This session will explore how architectural practices in Canada can positively contribute to reconciliation and asks what this may mean.

La prise en compte d’une perspective autochtone offre une occasion de sensibiliser les professionnels à la relation entre la réconciliation et la conception. Cette séance présentée par un Autochtone examinera comment les valeurs autochtones peuvent influencer la conception architecturale et comment le processus de conception lui-même peut être compris comme l’établissement de relations dans la poursuite d’objectifs communs.✨ Nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer que David Fortin, Ph. D., OAA, SAA, architecte AAA, AIBC, MRAIC, PA LEED, entretiendra les participants sur le thème « Reconciling Reconciliation Through Design ». Il expliquera comment les pratiques architecturales peuvent contribuer positivement à la réconciliation au Canada et se demandera ce que cela peut signifier.
