City Building

City Building | 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, whose new downtown location provides a unique and inspiring setting. Together, campers will unlock new skills to create designs tailored for downtown cityscapes. Collaboratively, campers will employ design techniques and planning methods, exploring materials, scales, mapping and model-making to bring their design ideas to life. Campers will use downtown Calgary as a full-scale laboratory, drawing inspiration from the vibrant cityscape to design beautiful buildings and landscapes, creating their very own downtown vision. Join us for a week of creativity and fun in the heart of Calgary!

City Building |Grades 5 – 10
What does it take to build a great city? 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. Choosing a site in downtown Calgary close to the University’s new building, 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. From photography to drawing to crafting models, they will learn how to express their ideas effectively and visually. We’ll seek inspiration right here, using downtown Calgary as a full-scale laboratory to explore, observe and design beautiful streets and public spaces, envisioning future scenarios for urbanism. 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!
