BEAT is thrilled for the next edition in our BEAT Forum Series! 

Access by Design: Rethinking Accessibility in Architecture
Presentation + Panel Discussion
Saturday Feb 7, 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM
OCAD University, Room # 230

This event explores how the meanings of accessibility and disability in architecture are changing—both in the spaces we design and within the profession itself. We begin with a keynote from a leading expert in accessible, disability-informed design, offering a framing of accessibility that moves beyond code compliance to consider equity, lived experience, and belonging. A panel discussion will follow, bringing together designers, advocates, and educators to examine what accessibility looks like in practice: how we shape environments that welcome a wide range of bodies and minds, and how we build a profession that reflects diverse abilities, perspectives, and needs.

BEAToronto is thrilled to invite members to Taking Stock; a project we are proud to support as a partner. 

“Taking Stock: Voices of Women in Architecture Across Canada” is a 2-day symposium at Toronto Metropolitan University, Department of Architectural Science, 6 & 7 March, that brings together students, architects, academics, advocates, historians, journalists, policymakers, statisticians, and others to share knowledge and experiences, advance essential conversations, and spark systemic, embedded change in pedagogy, practice, and policy for women in architecture.
