Former registration text

Together with you, we are touring the world to listen to the most celebrated architects of our time share their unique paths and talk to them about their experiences and influences. It is one country, two world-renowned names, and their unique stories of becoming and being an architect at each event. Welcome to our second Virtual World Tour.

On Wednesday, March 9th, 2022 live at 14:00 EST (Toronto time) / 20:00 CET (Berlin time) we will “visit” Canada and meet two of its most relevant architects. If you can’t make it live, save the link and watch it later!

The two following architects will talk on our virtual stage about their personal experiences and important creative periods in their lives and, as always at “AnA“, none of their projects may be mentioned:

Brigitte Shim, co-founder of Shim-Sutcliffe Architects, www.shim-sutcliffe.com
Johanna Hurme, co-founder of 5468796 architecture, www.5468796.ca
