Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, University of Toronto, invites applications for a full-time tenure-stream appointment in Architecture to serve as the Director of the Faculty’s Program in Architecture. This appointment will be at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor and will be effective July 1, 2013. Candidates will be expected to possess the expertise to teach and conduct research in one, or more of the following areas: Building and/or Environmental Systems; Digital Design/Fabrication; Architecture and Health; Parametric, Visualization-based Urbanism. The Director of the Architecture Program provides leadership in the crafting, delivery, and ongoing reform of the faculty’s 3.5-year professional master’s program. This would include being the lead authority and spokesperson for the program with regard to staffing and everyday management of the curricular and extra-curricular aspects of the program, student recruitment and advising, and outreach to professional, academic and other communities with a stake in architectural discourse and practice. Set within a preeminent research university and located at the center of one of North America’s most cosmopolitan cities, the Daniels Faculty uniquely combines the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. The Daniels Faculty explores the intersections between nature, technology, architecture, and various built geog- raphies in a way that situates design to meet its contemporary challenges. An emphasis on the connections between all of the design disciplines at work in the remaking of the built environment is apparent in the scholarly research and built work of many of our faculty. Following a decade-long transformation of the school’s faculty and professional programs, and a recent, major increase in its endowment, the Faculty is expanding its foundation in undergraduate teaching, and its research capacity by developing a PhD in Architecture, Land- scape, and Design Studies. To accommodate both growth in its curricular offerings, and an increase in its research and outreach programs, a new building complex is being constructed by the Faculty on Toronto’s historic One Spadina Crescent. The Daniels Faculty is particularly committed to exploring new modes of practice by drawing on the community of minds at the Uni- versity of Toronto, and a wide array of globally positioned academic, industry, and public sector partners. The Faculty enjoys ties with a number of adjacent disciplines within the University of Toronto (Engineering, Geography and Planning, Art, Literary Studies, Informa- tion, Medicine/Health) via both cross-disciplinary teaching appointments and various forms of research. The Daniels Faculty would be an especially engaging environment for someone whose creative work, or research explores the speci ficities of contemporary practice from a perspective that is historically informed, technologically advanced, and theoretically acute. Candidates would be expected to bring a substantial creative, or technical research program, and to demonstrate not only a capacity to fuse their agenda with the interests and commitments of the faculty, but to build new research capacities and relationships. The search will focus on individuals with a minimum of a professional Masters in Architecture. Doctoral credentials and a demon- strated capacity for administration would be a plus. Salary, appointment type, and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Evidence of excellence in teaching and research is required. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

    EVDA 523.02/ARST 457.02 EVDS, University of Calgary History of Architecture and Human Settlement II: 1750 to Present H(3-0) Winter 2019 Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:50 -12:20, Room 2160 Instructor: Dr. Graham Livesey Email: [email protected], Tel: (403) 220-8671, Room 3168 Teaching Assistant: Ashley Ortleib (Revised: October 10, 2018) INTRODUCTION AND TEACHING APPROACH This is the second course (including EVDA 523.01/ARST 457.01) examining the history of architecture and settlement from the prehistoric world until the present. This course will address the traditions of the Western world from the Industrial Revolution until the present, and will be delivered using lectures, videos, discussions, quizzes, and readings. The course examines technological, social, and political changes that have transformed the history of architecture since the late eighteenth century. It also presents major movements, figures, and building typologies, along with a particular emphasis on the evolving city during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. New approaches to representation and its impacts on architecture are also studied, along with the changing role of the architect (including the history of women in architecture). Broad cultural questions of modernity and post-modernity are explored, including such critiques of modernism as critical regionalism (with an emphasis on Japan and Canada). OBJECTIVES - Students are expected to learn of the key concepts and figures that have shaped the course of Western architecture and to become familiar with important works, practitioners, theorists and themes. As history courses are a required part of a professional architecture program, architectural history is understood to be necessary for understanding diverse culture and behaviours.

  • A Walk Through Robson Square

    A Walk Through Robson Square

    A WALK THROUGH ROBSON SQUARE As the plans and the overview demonstrate, Robson Square contains three inter-related structures: the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Provincial Government Office Block and the Law Courts. These are integral to a multi-level plaza and garden through which two thoroughfares pass. Indeed, the Office Block is designed in such a way that it is itself a terraced open park. It is adjacent to or actually contains many of the facilities that are essential to Robson Square's overall function as a civic centre. All the roofs of the office block have been landscaped, and most areas within it are accessible to the public, either above or below the level of the streets that transect the square. The public focus of this building-cum-plaza is the area surrounding Robson Street between Hornby and Howe, the area nearest the V AG. Close to the free public skating rink that is positioned under the two plexiglass domes situated below Robson Street is an international food mart that opens onto a plaza. Immediately adjacent to it within the portion of the office block that is constructed beneath Robson Street is a media centre that is equipped with a theatre, conference areas and exhibition spaces. The government office block portion of the complex is set back 150 feet from Robson Street and gradually steps up to a maximum of three storeys at the Smithe Street end of the complex. There is a maximum of three storeys below street level, including service spaces. Within the structure there are open-plan offices accessed by street-like corridors.

    WHARTON REAL ESTATE REVIEW SPRING 2012 Creating a New Suburban Town Center WITOLD RYBCZYNSKI Tougher economic times, lack of consumer confidence, and rising energy prices are likely to curtail distant ex-urban development in the decades to come, and one of the challenges for real estate developers will be to infill and densify suburban areas. Altering zoning and raising densities in existing residential areas will not be easy, however, not only because of neighborhood opposition to change, but also because most housing in the last three decades has been built as part of planned communities. These communities are governed not by municipal regulations, which can (with difficulty) be changed, but by homeowner associations that have been created in order to make change almost impossible. Housing aside, there is also the problem of how to convert suburban commercial development, which has generally occurred in a piecemeal and uncoordinated fashion, into concentrated, walkable, attractive town centers. Despite the current fashion for lifestyle centers that mimic the Main Street environment of small towns, the suburban centers of the future will not necessarily resemble the downtowns of the past. What follows is an example of how out- of-the-box thinking—and a public-private partnership—produced an innovative solution to a complicated problem. The Deal More than three decades ago, recognizing that the growth of the city of Vancouver was constrained by its location on a peninsula, hemmed in by surrounding water and mountains, Metro Vancouver developed a regional plan—theLivable Region Plan—to direct urban growth into surrounding suburban municipalities. Most urbanization was expected to occur in the southeast, down the broad Fraser Valley.

    2011-12 Annual Report to Industry Canada Covering the Objectives, Activities, and Finances for the period August 1, 2011 to July 31, 2012 and Statement of Objectives for Next Year and the Future Submitted by: Neil Turok, Director to the Hon. Christian Paradis, Minister of Industry and the Hon. Gary Goodyear Minister of State (Science and Technology) Vision: To create the world’s foremost centre for foundational theoretical physics, uniting public and private partners, and the world’s best scientific minds, in a shared enterprise to achieve breakthroughs that will transform our future. Overview of Perimeter Institute Theoretical physics seeks to understand what the universe is made of, and the forces that govern it, at the most basic level. Because the field is so fundamental, just one major discovery can literally change the world. The discovery of electromagnetism, for example, led to radio, X-rays, and all wireless technologies, and in turn catalyzed breakthroughs in all the other sciences. The discovery of quantum mechanics led directly to semiconductors, computers, lasers, and a nearly infinite array of modern technologies. Theoretical physics is the lowest-cost, highest-impact field of science. Located in Waterloo, Ontario, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics was founded in 1999, the first attempt in history to strategically accelerate discovery in this most basic area of science. Supported through a visionary funding model, it unites public and private partners, and the world’s best scientific minds, in a shared quest to achieve the next breakthroughs, which will transform our future. As of July 31, 2012, the Perimeter community has grown to include: 18 full-time Faculty 12 Associate Faculty 24 Distinguished Visiting Research Chairs 38 Postdoctoral Researchers 72 Graduate students1 As a major research hub, Perimeter’s conference and visitor programs bring over 1,000 scientists to the Institute annually, catalyzing new research collaborations and discoveries across the spectrum of fundamental physics.
