M.Arch Symposium 2023: The Complete City

Each year, candidates of the Toronto Metropolitan University’s Master of Architecture program host an Architecture Symposium that is open to students, professionals, and the greater public. As such, we would like to present to you with 2023's The Complete City: Redefining Toronto's Density. 

This year’s symposium will be held on March 2nd 2023, at The Parkdale Hall (1605 Queen St W #2) in Toronto, Canada. Doors open at 6:00pm and the panel will commence at 6:30pm. Please arrive 15 minutes in advance of the panel discussion for food and drinks provided by the symposium.

The event will be structured as a panel discussion with our guest speakers and moderator. Each speaker will present their own unique perspective on the topic which will be followed by questions from the moderator(s) and the audience to spark a lively discussion. We are excited to introduce this year's panel of speakers:
