\"MM-cropped-web\"<\/a>Recently ERA\u2019s Michael McClelland spoke at a Doors Open Toronto<\/a> event entitled \u201cRedesigning Toronto.\u201d The PechaKucha-style<\/a> event moderated by Spacing\u2019s Shaun Micallef<\/a> asked several leading architects to speak about advancing the design of the city.<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s talk surveyed changing conceptions of heritage over the years, beginning with the traditional conception of grand and noble landmarks that need to be saved and restored, moving on to more current, contextual conceptions of heritage as a complex of intangible values and material culture. This latter conception brings greater diversity to the things we value, and requires more nuance in the approach we take to conserving them. It\u2019s a way of doing heritage that is as much about the future of urban design and planning as it is about the past.<\/p>\n
