The Downtown Cambridge BIA and University of Waterloo’s School of Architecture have partnered to exhibit student work in a local business.
The exhibition, curated by the collective Architects Against Housing Alienation (AAHA), draws attention to the housing crisis being experienced by many communities across Canada. Not for Sale! describes and denounces the impact of real estate speculation that converts homes into financial assets, aggravating a range of issues including a general lack of affordability, precarious housing, and homelessness.
Associate Professor Jane Mah Hutton has contributed to two recent publications.
Her introduction to Cornelia Hahn Oberlander on Pedagogical Playgrounds explores the intersections of active play, ecological thinking, urban development, and the enthusiastic and often-playful advocacy of Oberlander’s writing and practice. The book, a curated selection of writings by the famed landscape architect dedicated to children’s right to play in urban environments is avaiable now from Concoria University Press.
