Event Description

Shaping Place is a virtual architecture conference looking at how architects translate global insights into locally grounded, culturally responsive, and environmentally responsible design. For instance, as climate pressures grow and communities face increasing demands for healthcare, housing, and civic infrastructure, architects are increasingly called to integrate nature-based solutions—such as passive design strategies, landscape-driven systems, material stewardship, and regenerative approaches—into the everyday practice of architecture.

Through built case studies, applied research, and leadership perspectives, the conference examines how architects shape places that support human wellbeing, respect cultural context, and work in alignment with natural systems. Sessions will emphasize measurable outcomes, user experience, and long-term performance, positioning sustainability and culture not as abstract ideals, but as core responsibilities of architectural practice.
