Where: Online
CES Credits - 1.0 LU/HSW for AIA Members
Description
This course presents two projects awarded Canada Design Awards of merit and citation in 2023 by Carlo Parente Architecture Inc. (CPAI) Both projects are stories of revival, drawing upon the stories, histories, and materials embedded in two seemingly obsolete buildings – a former mason’s workshop in an ordinary Chicago neighbourhood and a structure on a decommissioned historic hog farm in the German countryside. These geographically and typologically divergent projects transform former places of production into new types of live/workspace, each including private and public realms.
