Ideas Forum: Labour in Architecture

In the world of design, most of our attention is given to the objects and spaces we create. But behind every great space, there is a team of people who have been working for months, if not years, to make it possible. How these teams work together, and under what conditions work is getting done, has been an area of increased focus over the past years. Particularly in the field of architecture—where many of the common pitfalls of creative disciplines also intersect with regulatory requirements and exceptions to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act—there is an understanding that we must do better.

Let’s Build a Collective Memory of Chinatown!

Through intergenerational storytelling with more than 200 community members, we invite you to explore how shared memory, imagination, and co-design can build community power. "Cold" memories anchor Chinatown in its legacy of anti-displacement organizing and mutual aid traditions. "Hot" memories celebrate Chinatown as an everyday, dynamic, and active space. Together, these memories honour Chinatown's past while reminding us that Chinatown's story is still being written every day.
