Manasc Isaac continues its committment to Edmonton’s newest celebration of winter culture, Metropolis.

On January 26, 2012, join Nextgen at Metropolis for a Pecha Kucha celebration, including a talk by Manasc Isaac's Shafraaz Kaba! Pecha Kucha Nights have become one of Edmonton’s NextGen’s most popular and enduring public events. Japanese for the phrase “the sound of chitchat”, Pecha Kucha Nights feature presentations on local ideas, projects and musings in the 20 slides x 20 second per slide format made popular world-wide by Klein Dytham Architecture.  At Metropolis, the public is invited to attend Pecha Kucha: Metropolis featuring “best of” presentations from the past 11 installments of the event plus fresh ideas.

The construction is well underway! Come down to the Metropolis festival in Sir Winston Churchill square between December 31st and February 20th to see the POLAR brewHouse designed by Richard Isaac.

Metropolis - Edmonton International Winter Festival is the first of it's kind in Edmonton. The festival will start with a New Year’s Eve celebration on the 31st of December and run every weekend through the Family Day weekend in mid-February. It will consist of six free-standing, heated temporary structures made from Aluma Systems construction scaffolding covered with white shrink wrap. This technique is based on cold climate construction technology and will offer a sheltered atmosphere suitable for normal winter conditions in the Edmonton Capital Region.

Join Shafraaz at AUMA's meeting of the Provincial Network of Welcoming and Inclusive Commuities on December 1st and 2nd! This forum will delve into the current challenges and strategies facing municipalities in the attraction, retention and integration of newcomers in Alberta municipalities.

Next Tuesday, Shafraaz will be presenting at Homeward Trust's Community Summit on Housing. Shafraaz will be on a panel on building innovations for housing. 

Vivian will be the guest speaker at Alberta Construction Magazine's Top Ten luncheon on December 1, 2011 in Calgary.
