The National Arts Centre was the federal government’s centennial project to commemorate Canada’s 1967 celebration of Confederation. The project fulfilled a long-held national dream to create a Canadian Centre for the Performing Arts in the Capital. 

Architect, urban designer and heritage consultant Barry Padolsky will deliver a lecture examining the historic and urban context of the National Arts Centre. Entitled Canada’s National Art Centre Rejuvenation: Urban and Historic Context, the talk will reveal the powerful influence of the NCC’s abandoned and forgotten “Parkin Plan” for Confederation Square on the NAC’s brutalist architectural design. 

The lecture takes place on Monday, April 20 from 4:00 to 6:00pm in the reception room of NORR Limited at 55 Murray Street, Suite 600.

Space is limited.
