Events - 2021

The 2B studio is sharing a speaker event with the larger community. Lisa Heschong, author of the seminal Thermal Delight in Architecture, will be sharing her new book with us Visual Delight in Architecture. It will be discussed broadly through the trajectory of her career, and will focus on topics especially central to the 2B term including microclimates, environment, and the concept of nature.

Join us for a virtual screening of Picture A Scientist - a documentary raising visibility around gender bias and racism in science.

F_RMlab will be hosting its inaugural digital forum on the intersection of architecture and emerging technologies. The mission of this event is to facilitate in-depth discussions to engage current graduate students, alumni, and professionals to broaden the discourse of computational and technology driven design and research at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture.

Where can the homeless live? This symposium will bring together two grass-roots organizations seeking to improve the housing situation for chronically homeless and unsheltered individuals in the Region of Waterloo. The first, A Better Tent City is a tiny-house community located on the lot of a former convention centre along Highway 7. After an unofficial shelter in a downtown Kitchener convenience store was shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, residents relocated to the lot.
