City Building

Entering Grades 2 – 4

Aspiring builders and city planners, join us at City Building  camp to pioneer the future of urban spaces! Created and led by the imaginative students at the School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape, providing a unique and inspiring setting. Together, campers will unlock new skills to craft designs tailored for downtown cityscapes. Collaboratively, they'll employ various design techniques and planning methods, exploring materials, scales, and crafting models to bring their design ideas to life. Utilizing downtown Calgary as a full-scale laboratory, campers will draw inspiration from the vibrant cityscape, designing beautiful buildings and landscapes to create their very own downtown. Join us for a week of creativity and fun in the heart of Calgary!

Entering Grades 5 – 10

What does it take to build a great city? Aspiring architects and young urban visionaries interested in architecture and urbanism are invited to join our students from the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape in a collaborative exploration of this question. Design skills and knowledge will be developed through skill building and downtown exploration. Building on a shared experience of design and local community making, we explore new ways of collaborating and co-creating. Choosing a site in downtown Calgary, participants will be challenged to redesign an aspect of the city/public space and present a proposal to transform its function, appearance, accessibility, and other characteristics. We’ll seek inspiration right here, using downtown Calgary as a full-scale laboratory to explore, observe and design beautiful buildings, landscapes and envision future scenarios for urban spaces. Learn how to tackle complex problems using your design skills and start crafting your future career making Calgary the place you imagine it to be!
