Open Concepts

Open Concepts exists to take closed - settled, established - concepts, and open them for reinterpretation. We are a cultural initiative that works to support and expand design thinking in Calgary.

We bring a diverse audience of Calgarians together to contemplate complex architectural ideas. We invite everyone who shares a passion for design - creative thinkers, industry leaders, city dwellers and interested community members - to join us to learn, discuss, and act on the issues facing our built environment.

By making connections to exciting, innovative design practitioners outside of Calgary, we aim to enhance our city’s and its citizens’ understanding of the greater design world and our own role within it.
