Mark your calendars for 7:00 pm on Wednesday, October 26th!
You won’t want to miss our upcoming ‘Public Forum on Mid-Rise Development’, which we are co-hosting with the Guelph-Wellington chapter of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, and Heritage Guelph.
The traditional character of Guelph does not have to be lost, even through a period of rapid growth; it can actually be reinforced. Come and hear how higher population densities have been realized, sensitively, through the effective use of contemporary 4 to 6 storey buildings.
Discover what is already being done, here in Guelph, by our local development community, to recapture our traditional expertise in this important building type. And find out about promising opportunities that may make mid-rise buildings even more important than they already are, for both affordability and sustainability.
There will be presentations of great interest to everyone:
1- ‘Lessons from Cologne’ – Unto Kihlanki, Architect, Principal of Talo Architect Inc.;
2- ‘Mid-Rise Residential – Affordable, Sustainable Alternatives’ – Grant Roughley , President, RHC Design-Build.
3- ‘Market Commons Condos – Achievable Home Ownership’ – John Farley, Development Consultant, Creating Homes;
After the presentations there will be a panel discussion, featuring our presenters and notable local experts in the field of urban development, followed by a question period. So bring your curiosity, and your point of view: we want to hear from you too.
Time: Wednesday October 26, at 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
Place: Guelph City Hall, Rm. 112 UK
