03. REVITALIZING ICONIC MODERN WATERFRONT SITES: TORONTO, MONTREAL, SYDNEY
Time: 12-1:30 PM EST
Montreal’s Expo ‘67, the Sydney Opera House and Ontario Place are all seminal examples of public architecture that embraced avant-garde design in the 1960’s. Yet, each site has faced a specific trajectory and is now at a different stage of its evolutionary process. The Expo site—now a park with only the few permanent elements of the original site remaining, is being revitalized. The Sydney Opera House is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been carefully conserved under a Conservation Management Plan. Ontario Place’s identity has continuously shifted with different government proposals and is now at a crossroads. What can we learn from these conservation case-studies? Join us as we discuss experiences in conservation, adaptive reuse, change management, and the consideration of multiple stakeholders on iconic public sites.
