The thesis posits that an architecture centre sited in a community that is projected to see rapid, unprecedented growth will act as a proactive means of spurring a dialogue between architects and residents to ensure all voices are being accounted for in their prospective built environment. The design of an architecture centre further develops the proposition that democratizing architectural ideas and planning processes can aid in elevating the quality of future development in a community; and ultimately act as an example of a single centre that would compromise a much larger network of analogous centres working in tandem across Canada.
