Inspired by the London Bicentennial theme, “Honouring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future,” the London Society of Architects is pleased to welcome Michael McClelland, founding Principal of ERA Architects, for a special lecture. A registered architect and a leading voice in heritage conservation, Michael brings over 30 years of experience at the intersection of architecture, urban design, and heritage planning. His work has shown how thoughtful, values-based conservation can strengthen cultural identity and support vibrant, resilient communities.
In this lecture, Michael will explore how heritage conservation can honour the past while helping guide future decisions. As London marks this milestone—and celebrates its designation as Canada’s Forest Capital for 2026–2027—this conversation offers a timely opportunity to consider how architecture, landscape, and heritage can contribute to a lasting sense of place.
