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.

2015 Toronto Urban Design Awards Jury Report
FOREWORD Every other year, the City of Toronto holds the Urban Design Awards as an opportunity to acknowledge, award and celebrate some of the city’s best projects and practitioners in urban design. This is an especially important year as it marks our 25th anniversary. The Toronto Urban Design Awards was initiated in 1990 and it is remarkable to see not only how the awards themselves have evolved and grown, but more importantly, how the caliber and quality of design has markedly improved over the years. We have come a long way in that time and today Toronto can proudly count itself amongst the world’s most influential cities for urban design. The Awards also serve as one of the ways the City of Toronto promotes and encourages better design quality and best practices in urban design. Excellence in urban design is fundamentally about how the quality of design reaches beyond the individual site or program to both respond to and positively impact the public realm and surrounding urban context. Such projects warrant recognition because of the importance that excellent urban design plays in enhancing Toronto’s livability, economic prowess, global profile, as well as in bringing a little more happiness into our lives by uplifting our everyday experiences – this is the essence of how good design progressively builds a great city. This year, the City received 90 submissions in nine categories. The esteemed Jury, comprised of Alex Bozikovic, Stephen Teeple, Sibylle von Knobloch, and George Dark - as our returning Juror from 25-years ago, were impressed with the overall quality of the submissions.

I personally believe it is external relations, or in other words, our dealings with a myriad of regional, national and even international organizations. As president of the RAIC, I have emphasized these very relationships over the past year – this means building solid foundations with our architectural colleagues across the country and with others in the design and construction industry.

BUILDING COLLABORATION, BUILDING COMMUNITY a Home for Northern Learning
BUILDING COLLABORATION, BUILDING COMMUNITY A Home for Northern Learning By Emilee D. Bender A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulﬁllment of the thesis requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Emilee D. Bender 2007 ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required ﬁnal revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii iv Abstract Building Collaboration, Building Community: A Home for Northern Learning explores the potential for architecture to support learning endeavors in the Canadian North. Informed by traditional approaches to northern learning for cultural continuity, alongside the assimilative effects of the residential school experience, the thesis strives to develop an environment for contemporary northern learning where both Aboriginal cultures and values can thrive alongside current educational endeavors. Situated within a context plagued by imposed and unsuccessful architectural models, the thesis advocates for a design process rooted in collaborative ideals. At its core, the thesis asserts that both the local knowledge of the community and the training of the architect are vital components in the design process. In the development of an environment for northern learning, both the socio-cultural visions of a northern people and the skill sets of the architect are of necessity. Local stories and perspectives - both past and present - guide project developments. As directed by the community, the scope of work does not focus solely upon the formal learning environment, but rather upon a series of social and cultural structures designed to support learners within the northern educational context.
