[John O'Gorman]

For your information, Ryerson University Department of Architectural Science is hosting an international symposium on 2-4 May 2008 in Toronto entitled:

THE ROLE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IN THE DESIGN AND PLANNING OF BUILDINGS AND CITIES.

It will feature a number of international as well as local speakers, and a chance for discussion and local visits. Below is a short abstract about the event.

"This symposium will investigate the opportunities for creative cooperation between shapers of the built environment and actors in urban food and agriculture systems.  It brings together, for the first time, individuals from the full range of professions of the built environment who have been recently tackling challenges of the urban food system.  The interface between the physical aspects of urban food provision and distribution, urban design and architecture will be explored."
