A symposium exploring creative engagements with urban space and challenges of cultural infrastructure, The Creative Construct: Building for Culture and Creativity, will take place in Ottawa from April 28 to May 01, 2008. The work of Architectures for Creativity will be presented there as a component of the dialogue surrounding creative engagements with urban cores.
The international symposium organized by the Centre of Expertise on Culture and Communities at Simon Fraser University and the City of Ottawa will examine the role and potential of cultural infrastructure to support and further culture and creativity in cities and communities. Delegates include cultural planners and policy-makers, civic leaders and elected officials, and educators and urban theorists interested in sharing ideas and learning about the latest innovations and developments globally. Workshops and panel discussions will address such themes as convergences of culture with industry and science, urban renewal, and alternative financing and partnership solutions in the cultural sector.
