BEAT is a volunteer-run organization made up of architects, designers, leaders, and entrepreneurs creating opportunities for community-building, advocacy, networking, and mentorship. We believe that empowering women in the design community improves and enriches the practice of architecture, the quality of the built environment, and ultimately, the human experience. We are committed to creating lasting systemic and transformational change with purpose-driven action, openness, compassion, and respect for diverse perspectives.
Upcoming Events
Join BEA Toronto for a tour of midtown foodie destination Stock T.C—a “raw to refined” showcase of gastronomy. Then stay for your choice of happy-hour bites or a full dinner with the architect.
Your guide is Pina Petricone, founding principal of Giannone Petricone Associates. Petricone and her team restored and repurposed the landmark Canada Postal Station ‘K’ Building into a theatre of food, with a ground floor market, 200-seat bistro, and upper-level garden room event space. "Just as bountiful shelves and counters display raw ingredients and comestibles and the restaurant serves artful plates, we introduced materials and architectural elements that we interpreted in degrees of “unrefined to refined’,” write the architects.
There are two options for joining us:
Option 1: Tour + Happy Hour
This $25 ticket includes glass of bubbly and small bites following the tour: 5-6 pm.
Option 2: Tour + Seated Dinner
This $100 ticket includes glass of bubbly and a full three-course meal following the tour: 6:30-9 pm.
Ticket prices include food, tax and gratuity; additional drinks not included in either option.
Join us for an exclusive tour of Reina, led by four women whose contributions were central to the design and delivery of this residential project.
Located on The Queensway in Toronto’s Queensway Village, Reina is Canada’s first condominium designed and developed by an all-women project team, with women leading project management, architecture, engineering, urban planning, construction management, and sales.
