Acclaimed Canadian architect Bruce Kuwabara on the influence of Daniels Faculty Professor Emeritus and former dean George Baird.
Join acclaimed Canadian architect Bruce Kuwabara as he discusses the influence of professor emeritus and former Daniels Faculty dean George Baird (by whom he was taught and for whom he once worked) on his approach to architecture and the public realm and on how it has informed the practice and work of KPMB Architects, the firm Kuwabara co-founded in the 1980s. In his lecture, Kuwabara will present KPMB buildings and projects that demonstrate how architecture contributes to the formation and vibrancy of the city while addressing the most pressing issues of our time, including climate change, affordability, mental health and reconciliation.
Join co-editor and Harvard GSD professor Charles Waldheim for a discussion based on the book Technical Lands: A Critical Primer.
Join Harvard GSD professor Charles Waldheim for a discussion based on Technical Lands: A Critical Primer, which he co-edited with Jeffrey S. Nesbit. The book, published this year by JOVIS, assembles authors from a diverse array of disciplines, geographical specializations and epistemological traditions to interrogate and theorize the meaning and increasing significance of technical lands—spaces united by their “exceptional” characteristics, such as remote locations, delimited boundaries, secured accessibility and hyper-vigilant management.
A book talk featuring Christina E. Crawford and Claire Zimmerman, dedicated to the memory of co-editor and contributor Jean-Louis Cohen.
Co-edited by Christina E. Crawford, the Daniels Faculty’s Claire Zimmerman and the late Jean-Louis Cohen, the recently published book Detroit-Moscow-Detroit: An Architecture for Industrialization, 1917-1945 examines spatial development, manufacturing, mass production and organizational planning across geopolitical lines in the 20th Century, exploring how capitalist and communist built environments were co-produced in a period of intense technical exchange. Also among its contributors, Crawford and Zimmerman will be in attendance to discuss their participation in the book as well as selected themes. The event is dedicated to the memory of fellow contributor Jean-Louis Cohen.
David Miller, mayor of Toronto from 2003 to 2010 and Managing Director of C40 Cities Center for City Climate Policy and Economy, and Jorge Pérez de Leza, the CEO of Metrovacesa, will engage in a discussion about the creative industries and their impact on city making, emphasising themes of inclusion, arts, residents engagement, and creative use of IT.

Every year, the International Committee for Architecture and Museum Techniques (ICAMT) of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) organises an important international conference that brings together experts from different fields, namely museum studies, architecture and exhibition design. This year, the University of Porto will host the 49th ICAMT International Conference from 25 to 27 October 2023. Together with the ICAMT, the Portuguese entities responsible for organising this event are the Centro de Investigação Transdisciplinar Cultura, Espaço e Memória (CITCEM/UPorto) and the Centro de Estudos de Arquitectura e Urbanismo (CEAU/UPorto). The Conference's central theme will be "Undoing conflict in museums: materiality and meaning of museum architecture and exhibition design". Conference participants will focus their reflections on the power of conflict. Debating how opposing ideas can enhance, change and develop in museums and exhibitions, and the role of architecture and exhibition design in managing conflict in museums.In addition to the presentations organised, the program will include a variety of case studies, providing visits to museums (such as Galeria da Biodiversidade - Centro Ciência Viva, Casa Comum da Reitoria Universidade do Porto, Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis, Museu do Porto - Ateliê António Carneiro, Museu de Serralves, Bienal de Design (main exhibition), Casa da Arquitectura and Museu da Memória de Matosinhos) to consider how museum practices have addressed various conflicts in terms of architectural choices and exhibition design practices.
In this workshop we will explore together the urbanist concept of the ‘15-Minute City’ alongside London-based architectural group Archigram’s ‘Instant Cities’. You will be invited to explore the surrounding hidden gems of modernist architecture in Notting Hill. Participants will record, document, and represent their surroundings through a range of techniques and materials, such as: collage, photography, rubbings and drawing.
The Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) presents the highly-anticipated annual Singapore Archifest for its 17th iteration starting late September this year. Directed by Calvin Chua, Archifest 2023 warmly welcomes you to “Interim: Acts of Adaptation”– an invitation to rethink our built environment as continually being in a state of transition. Presenting itself as a lab, this edition of Archifest investigates the potential of adaptive architecture as the mode of action in response to pressing environmental, cultural, and technological change.
An exhibition showcasing the buildings of Le Corbusier (1887-1965) featuring scaled models of the iconic Swiss-French architect’s work.
Assembled from the private collection of Singapore-based RT+Q Architects, this exhibition showcasing the buildings of Le Corbusier (1887-1965) features dozens of scaled models of the iconic Swiss-French architect’s work. Through the years, it has been a tradition at RT+Q for interns to spend their first week studying and building a model of a Le Corbusier project, the aim being to acquaint them with his diverse design legacy. This exhibition will run in the LWR Gallery until November 17.
