The Space Between
Designing spaces that connect people (Screening & Panel)

About This Event
The Space Between is a growing collection of short films produced by hcma architecture + design. Each one offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who use the public buildings we design: the people we design for. In each short film, you’re invited into a personal story, with real individuals sharing how these community spaces have touched their lives.
Join us for a special screening of The Space Between short film series, followed by a panel of experts exploring the human impact of design. Together, we’ll explore questions like: How does design facilitate human connection? What does it mean to design for people first? And is good design truly invisible, or just hiding in plain sight?
Whether you’re a designer, a city-builder, or a community member, this conversation invites you to reflect on the role of design in the public realm—and our shared responsibility to create spaces that consider and embrace everyone.
All ticket proceeds will be donated to Design Week Calgary.
