From energy and architecture to advanced building envelopes, a new series of weekly webinars by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) is part of the ambitious expansion of its continuing education program.
Until now, most RAIC learning opportunities and credits have been offered during the annual Festival of Architecture, in addition to occasional webinars and courses. Now the scope of opportunities is being significantly increased. The result will be not only expanded Festival opportunities, but also a new annual continuing education program.
In January, the RAIC introduced ?Webday Wednesdays? ? online, themed webinar sessions. Each month a new topic is explored through weekly webinars presented by experts in their fields, in both English and French. January looked at the move towards digital strategies and Building Information Modeling, while February focuses on the relationship between energy and architecture. Future series will include adaptive reuse, architectural design processes, advanced building envelopes, wood architecture and construction, and marketing and communications in architecture. In addition to online learning, the RAIC will offer limited-edition workshops in heritage conservation, based on unique opportunities and special site access. Following a successful 2018 schedule, the RAIC is also pleased to announce that the Project Management for Architects course will take place in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Victoria, and Moncton in 2019.
