The annual Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) Toronto chapter Building Expo will be online this year โ€“ allowing viewers across the country to participate in what had become a cornerstone annual event in the Greater Toronto Area.

The day-long Feb. 24 event, formerly known as the chapterโ€™s table-top trade show, has taken place for 43 years โ€“ with previous yearsโ€™ programs occuring at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).

COVID-19, of course, has changed the rules, providing โ€œa new opportunity to take the experience across Canada by offering the Building Expo on a virtual platform,โ€ the CSC chapter says in a statement. โ€œThe Expo continues the tradition of being free for attendees, offering CEU seminars, access to industry experts, and an opportunity to socialize.

โ€œThis yearโ€™s theme is Technology in Constructionย and the speakers will address experiences, advancements and future opportunities for the construction industry to build faster, safer, and better.โ€

The keynote speaker, architect Jakob Stromann-Andersen, will discuss the โ€œnext generation of daylight analysis.โ€

The speakersโ€™ description says: โ€œHow can Generative Design impact daylight design? Can a generative algorithm create better daylight design? In the time it takes for a person to create one scheme, a computer can generate thousands, along with the data to quantify exactly which design performs best. For designers, a generative algorithm provides not only insight into the dynamics of daylight, but a common language that allows a collaborative workflow among planners, architects, engineers, developers, and municipalities. Jakob will show how we can run and explore a multitude of daylight designs, sort through the iterations and identify the best ones, all while providing detailed analysis for each proposal.โ€

There is no charge to attend the virtual event from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
