Tour a parkade!

Virtual/online tour of Calgary's most innovative building to date - the Platform Innovation Centre & Parkade. This tour asks "How do we design for the future while making sure it still works for the present moment?” To answer this question, we have Kate Thompson, President and CEO of Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) and Joanne Sparks, Associate and Registered Architect, Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning, in conversation with Sukhpreet Kaur, Zeidler Architecture.

“How can we design to meet today’s demand for parking in our city, while designing in enough flexibility to adapt to how we might get around in five- or ten-years’ time? We invite you to tour an innovative new building in East Village: a parkade that is designed to adapt to different uses over time.

We'll hear from Calgary Municipal Land Corporation's President & CEO Kate Thompson and Joanne Sparks, an Architect at Kasian, about the planning and design of this new parkade. In conversation with: mx Committee Chair and Architect at Zeidler, Sukhpreet Kaur.

Untold City is a virtual tour series started by our Members Committee (called mx), a committee working to advance design experiences for d.talks Members. Exploring the design, history and uses of a unique building within our city, Untold City tours reveal the weird, the wild and the uncanny that make up the urban fabric of our city. You won’t find these places in a guidebook. Only the locals know. We’ll take you inside.”

Please note that this Untold City tour is online, free, and open to the public.
