ERA Architects is excited to invite Architect and Doctoral candidate Pamela Jordan to conduct a Sonic Heritage study of Allan Gardens. As part of the research, we are seeking participants for a 1-hour guided walk and active listening exercise of the gardens on Friday October 18th from 12:00pm-1:00pm.

There will be a 15–20-minute discussion afterwards on our collective and personal sonic experiences. Please email katiel@eraarch.ca for more information and to sign up. 

Pamela Jordan is an architect and doctoral candidate at the University of Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory, and Material Culture. Her project, “Site Sound: Using acoustics to analyze Mount Lykaion’s ancient sanctuary to Zeus”, is a multidisciplinary, non-destructive archaeological investigation funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). Her broader research uses sound-based methodologies to analyse historic and contemporary built environments -- other recent projects have included places of worship, military installations, and infrastructural ruins. Her work includes architectural design practice, artistic collaborations, and archaeological fieldwork, and her research has been supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (DE), the HEAD Genuit Foundation (DE), the Dutch Research Council (NL), and the Society of Architectural Historians (US). Pamela is a registered architect (US; LEED AP) and holds master’s degrees in architecture and historic preservation from the University of Pennsylvania (US).
