Design and Construction II 304B
Winter 2003

Final Critique The final crit will start on Thursday April 10 at 15.00 Hrs. Critics will be Ottawa architect Stuart Kinmond and Montreal architect Peter Lanken. Both architects have a long career of professional work behind them with lots of  'studio' as well as on 'site experience'. The crit will be held in the corridor on the 5th floor. It is expected that traffic (and noise and disturbance) will be to a minimum at that time. You are of course free to change your project after Thursday and before it is sent off to the competition jury.
