Transforming Birthspace: A Global Colloquium

Transforming Birthspaces: A Global Colloquium is a transdisciplinary gathering of invited guest speakers who have diverse areas of expertise that offer unique insights into important considerations for birth environment architecture and design.

The conference is part of a global movement considering the overtly medicalized nature of birth spaces worldwide. Through research and knowledge mobilization they’re considering how to create more awareness of the problems inherent in the present models of birth care, birth centre and maternity unit design.

Join them at the OCADU Waterfront Conference Centre and the Open Space Gallery 49 McCaul Street for an event filled with international speakers, transdisciplinary discussions, and a world of research focused on the value of the birth environment itself during this meaningful life moment.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, researcher, architect, designer, obgyn, midwife, policy maker or birth advocate, please join them to learn more about the project, share your insights, and envision a transformative way forward for better birth environment design.
