This conversation is the fifth of 6 conversations. The series will stage conversations around the different areas of the Waterloo Architecture curriculum with one broad ambition: “Questioning the canon: In a world of unprecedented possibilities and unforeseen brutalities, what can architectural education do?”

This particular conversation will feature Charles Walker and Theodora Vardouli and will consider the following sub-question: "How can digital technology qualitatively engage the complex material, economic and social realities of the world?"

At both the urban and architectural scales, the suburban fabric of large cities like Toronto isolates people from one another and from the environment in which they live: social space is segregated by class, urban form is designed for the car and as a result actively discourages face to face interaction, while living spaces are cut off from the solar energy, air and living plants and animals that that surrounds them.

The School of Architecture invites all interested students, along with their parents and friends to join us at 7 Melville St, S., Cambridge on Saturday, March 10, 2018 from 10 am to 4 pm. This is a great opportunity to visit the Architecture campus, speak to professors and current students, tour the facilities, see demonstrations and displays of student work, portfolios and attend a program information session.
