Conference Co-Chairs: George Thomas Kapelos, Ryerson University, and Sharon Vattay

Members of the Society for the Study of Architecture in Canada (SSAC), representatives of affiliated societies, and other scholars who wish to present a paper at the 2009 Annual Conference in Toronto, Ontario, May 20-24, 2009. The conference will take place at Ryerson University in the heart of Toronto.

The conference will coincide with the annual Festival of Architecture and Design, and specifically with Doors Open Toronto (May 23-24) - an annual event that celebrates the city's architecture by providing free access to buildings that are not generally open to the public. Attendees will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to visit architectural sites throughout the city on their own over the course of Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday.

The goal of the 2009 conference is to stimulate debate and discussion on the role of history and theory in the making of architecture in Canada. Recognizing that the SSAC is an organization with a broad and multi-disciplinary constituency, the theme presents a challenge to the participants to consider the study of architecture from a number of different perspectives.
  • If you are engaged in the public sector, we encourage you to engage with your colleagues to reflect upon the ways in which your work, be it documentation, implementation, or policy formation, may provide a critical lens to the study of architecture in Canada.
  • If you are working in the private sector, as a researcher, architect, planner, landscape architect, heritage consultant, we ask you to consider ways in which thinking critically about the study of architecture can inform your work.
  • If you are engaged in any way in the study of architecture in Canada, we ask you to reflect upon ways in which the study of architecture can support community activities, local culture and identity.
