We are wetness oursel ves\, our wetness necessary to our\nexistence. However\, we do not learn t hat we live in an Ocean of\nWetness. We learn instead that we live on an Earth surface called\nland that we take for granted as existent and place beyond all\ndifference\, assuming that all people experience it. In this talk\, I\npresent land as a product of design in an Ocean of Wetness that\ nwe fail to acknowledge. It is a design that deploys four design\ndevice s: the geometric surface\, geometric line\, hydrologic cycle\, and\nlangua ge of landscape. Together they create and maintain an Earth\nsurface tha t serves as the ground of observation and habitation. It\nalso serves as t he ground of a colonization that continues largely\nbecause this act of de sign passes unnoticed and unquestioned. What\ndoes it take to acknowledge land to be a product of design\; to\nrecognize that our real home is in an Ocean of Wetness that is\neverywhere rather than on an Earth surface with water somewhere? Does\nOcean offer an appreciation of more fundamental d ifference in\nculture\; and does it open fresh possibilities for design i n the face\nof climate change that threatens land with destruction?  DTSTAMP:20260427T203110Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69efc78ed29f3 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260226T163000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260226T183000 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/architecture/events/angie-jim-making-home LOCATION:ARC - School of Architecture 7 Melville Street South Cummings Lect ure Theatre Cambridge ON N1S 2H4 Canada SUMMARY:Angie Jim - Making a Home CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:ANGIE JIM\, Allies & Morrison\n\nWhat truly defines \"homes for all\" in our rapidly growing cities? In\nthis talk\, Angie Jim Osman\, Pa rtner at Allies and Morrison\, explores\nhow thoughtful design and density can nurture communities\, championing\nsustainable\, resilient neighbour hoods built for the long term.\nDrawing on Allies and Morrison’s deep e xperience with complex urban\nregeneration sites—from King’s Cross to Greenwich Peninsula in\nLondon—Angie will reveal how these foundational lessons are now\nbeing adapted to reshape Toronto.

We\nsupport regenerative approaches to gro wing and harvesting materials\,\nfostering bioregional construction practi ces that operate within\nplanetary boundaries. We challenge the systems\ , technologies\, supply\nchains\, regulations and materials that make up the construction\nindustry\, with the aim of transforming how we build an d who we build\nfor.  DTSTAMP:20260427T203110Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69efc78ed51e2 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260312T173000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260312T193000 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/architecture/events/film-screening-thinking-beyond -market-film-about-genuinely LOCATION:ARC - School of Architecture 7 Melville Street South Cummings Lect ure Theatre Cambridge ON N1S 2H4 Canada SUMMARY:Film Screening: Thinking Beyond the Market: A film about genuinely\ naffordable housing CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:BRIAN DOUCET\, University of Waterloo\n\nThinking Beyond the Ma rket: A film about genuinely affordable housing\ntakes you across Canada t o learn about policies\, programs and projects\nthat are already happening and already having a positive impact on\naddressing the housing crisis. F rom using public land to build\nnon-market housing in Kitchener and Whistl er\, and inspiring\nIndigenous-led projects in Vancouver\, to strong tenan t protections and\nrent control in British Columbia and Prince Edward Isla nd\, the\nexamples featured in this film demonstrate how many important\ns olutions are making a difference in communities big and small! The\nfilm f eatures interviews with more than 30 planners\, policymakers\,\npolitician s\, developers\, residents and housing advocates from coast\nto coast. T he film inspires and challenges us to think about both the\nroot causes of the housing crisis and transformative solutions.  DTSTAMP:20260427T203110Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:69efc78ed5e38 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20251202T110000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20251202T130000 URL:https://uwaterloo.ca/architecture/events/fall-2025-3b-option-studio-ope n-house LOCATION:ARC - School of Architecture 7 Melville Street South Cambridge ON N1S 2H4 Canada SUMMARY:Fall 2025 3B Option Studio Open House CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Join the students and faculty of the Fall 2025 3b option studio s for\nan open house showcasing their work.
