University of Waterloo School of Architecture
Questioning the canon: In a world of unprecedented possibilities and unforeseen brutalities, what can architectural education do?
Structured around the Waterloo School of Architecture’s six areas of architectural pedagogy – Design Studio, Cultural History + Theory, Environment + Technology, Visual + Digital Media, Landscape + Urbanism, and Co-operative Education — this exhibition will place the work of innovative alumni in dialogue with the work of ground-breaking architectural practitioners and academics. This conversation of artifacts and texts is being staged in order to raise questions about how architectural education can address our turbulent world with an emerging cultural and technical knowledge equal to the challenge it faces.
Opening: Monday, February 5 at 6:30pm.
A series of lunchtime events and conversations will accompany the exhibit (brown bags welcome).
