[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]As part of a research partnership funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and numerous partners, the Canada Research Chair in Architecture, Competition and Quality<\/strong> at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, under the direction of Professor Jean-Pierre Chupin, brought together 14 universities and more than 60 academics. Together, they convinced the Rick Hansen Foundation, Public Services and Procurement Canada, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and more than 60 citizen groups, professional organizations, and municipal services to form 15 collaborative research teams, including a team of young Indigenous leaders.<\/p>\n

In May 2025, these cross-sector groups presented an initial status report on their roadmaps toward more equitable, sustainable, and socially valuable quality<\/strong> at the annual convention at the University of Toronto and then, in June, at Place Bonaventure during the RAIC’s annual conference.<\/p>\n

In Room 2081 of the Faculty of Environmental Design, from August 29 to September 19, 2025<\/strong>, this exhibition of work in progress provides an overview of research undertaken since 2022 and which will continue until 2027. This is an ongoing national project and not a finished product. Videos made by students accompany the panels, which summarize the major issues of quality, the steps taken, and the actions proposed.<\/p>\n

A roadmap<\/strong> outlines key elements such as the initial problem, overall objectives, resources, process steps, and proposed short-, medium-, and long-term actions. There are many gray areas<\/strong> in our current definitions of quality: accessible quality, adaptive reuse, participatory processes, resilient parks, inclusive schools, integrated biodiversity, etc. Following a bottom-up process<\/strong>, these stakeholder teams conduct analyses and consultations in specific contexts, addressing issues that challenge current definitions of quality in architecture, landscape, design, and urban planning. The research highlights the importance of collecting lived experiences to break down silos while updating expertise.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”27135″ img_size=”large” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Don’t miss the launch of the ArchiQualiData.ca platform<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>on September 10 at 5:15 p.m.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
