On Thursday, February 16th, Ryerson University's Masters of Architecture class will bring together urbanists, students, and industry professionals for an evening of discussion and debate. Moderated by former Toronto Star architecture critic Christopher Hume, the discussion will investigate the evolving roles of architects, planners, builders, and designers, as well as the changing relationships between these disciplines. Offering an in-depth analysis of these topics, the four panelists will also focus on how changing professional roles could impact industry practices.
