In conjunction with Waterloo Architecture’s 50th Anniversary lecture series and exhibition, several student initiatives will be hosting a lunchtime conversation series at the Design at Riverside gallery. Following the theme of Questioning the Canon, this conversation series invites alumni and guests to address the overarching question: In a world of unprecedented possibilities and unforeseen brutalities what can architectural education do?
On March 22 alumnus Aidan Mitchelmore will be in conversation with BRIDGE on design studio.
The event will be held at Design at Riverside gallery beginning at 12:30pm. Coffee and snacks will be available.

Mitchelmore
recently
graduated
from
the
University
of
Waterloo
School
of
Architecture.
Throughout his
two
years
spent
in
Waterloo's
M.Arch
program,
Aidan
was
interested
in
using
physical
models
as
tools for
design, rather
than
solely
for
representation
purposes.
Through
the
process
of
designing
a
speculative proposition
for
a
new
public
(and
counterpublic)
space
within
Toronto's
Union
Station,
Aidan
has developed
an
interest
in
large
public
and
cultural
buildings
as
well
as
architectural
sites
located
in
urban networks.
With
previous
work
experience
in
Australia
and
the
U.K.,
he
is
now
working
in
Toronto
as
an Intern
Architect
pursuing
his
architecture
licence.
Currently,
he
plans
to
gain
experience
designing buildings
with
an
urban,
public,
and
social
focus
while
practicing
at
architectural
design
offices.
