The University of Toronto's John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design is pleased to unveil its 2025 Winter Public Program. This semester's program highlights the work of leading global thinkers and practitioners who are shaping the future of our built and natural environments. In a dynamic series of lectures, book talks, discussions and more, they will explore topics such as extractivism, scarcity, landscape heritage and mosques as sites of contemporary architectural innovation, and examine the role of our disciplines in addressing pressing challenges at home and across the globe.

From the evolving relationship between the built world and the natural world to the ways in which architecture can foster social and environmental innovation, the Daniels Faculty Winter 2025 Public Program aims to stimulate dialogue across timelines and regions.

All events in the series are free and open to the public. Register in advance and consult the calendar for up-to-date details. Many events are broadcast live on the Daniels Faculty YouTube channel.
