Let's talk about...connectivity

Founded in 2013, Design Talks Institute (d.talks) is a grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing thinking and dialogue around architecture, art and design within the urban environment. Through exhibitions, workshops, seminars, and conferences, the organization facilitates wide-ranging discussions that cover a range of contemporary issues on spatial form, distilling how these relate at the local level. Curiosity and a desire to find common ground through compelling inquiry propel and sustain the organization. At d.talks, a question is always as important as an answer.

Design Talks Institute (d.talks)

Join a discussion on development that serves transit. What’s key to making a neighbourhood feel connected? We’ll explore the design considerations that simplify everyday errands and create nice places to gather. 
What makes integrating different businesses, activities and mobility options hard to do? Can transit-oriented development* become a destination? What’s design’s role in all of this? TOD, let's talk.
*TOD is also known as "Transit-oriented development" ...in some circles.
