Our public programs are platforms that can change the way the built environment is conceived of, produced, and understood. For each of our projects, we organize talks and seminars to multiply the number of viewpoints that we can make sense of and explore together, while our workshops and tours introduce what we are thinking and doing in order to initiate discussions and share insights.

We welcome all kinds of groups for guided tours. These visits include an introduction to the CCA’s ideas and approaches, as well as walks through the exhibitions on view. For groups of less than thirty people, tours should be reserved three weeks in advance, but larger groups should please contact us even sooner. The fee is $5 per person and includes admission.

We also create programs and workshops that link to school curricula for young public from ages five to eighteen. These programs question traditional definitions of architecture and include subjects like politics, resource distribution and social changes.

Currently, we offer the following programs: ABCs of Architecture, Get It Out of Your House!, Disco, tomorrow? and Octobering.

We offer open sessions for university and college groups interested in holding classes, seminars, and/or conversations around a selection of materials from our collection.

Please note that we are taking extra care to ensure your safety and that of our staff, which is why we recommend wearing a mask for our public events and group activities. Please contact us at public@cca.qc.ca for more information and to discuss how we can welcome your group.
