In the world of design, most of our attention is given to the objects and spaces we create. But behind every great space, there is a team of people who have been working for months, if not years, to make it possible. How these teams work together, and under what conditions work is getting done, has been an area of increased focus over the past years. Particularly in the field of architecture—where many of the common pitfalls of creative disciplines also intersect with regulatory requirements and exceptions to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act—there is an understanding that we must do better.
Organized by the Toronto Society of Architects in partnership with DesignTO, “Ideas Forum: Labour in Architecture” will feature 5 speakers representing diverse organization structures including co-operatives, unions, and employee-owned, all exploring through fast-paced presentations how we can design better practices and labour standards through the lens of the architectural profession. The presentations will be followed by a moderated Q&A.
