Breaking Down The Wall

Part of Design Week Calgary 2026, this panel takes on Calgary's downtown ‘street wall’ — the continuous building edges that define blocks but often limit street-level interaction. Architects and urban designers explore how buildings, landscape, and public space can act as social infrastructure, using built and under-construction projects as the lens before connecting it to the city's planning and intensification goals. Presented by Zeidler Architecture Inc., the evening opens with a cocktail reception at the Heather Edwards Theatre.
