In residence for three months as the inaugural Young Curator, Dan Handel will present an overview of his ongoing project “First, the Forests” which will be developed as an exhibition at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in 2012.
Free Admission
“Forests have been haunting western civilization from its earliest beginnings. However, in contrast to its romantic, idealizing view, there exists the understanding of forest-as-industry, spawning a great number of land experiments, advanced technologies and designed spaces. Looking at that trajectory, the presentation will discuss possible ways of rethinking the complex interaction between forests and architectures.”

Michael Webb: Two Journeys, Lecture – Oct. 13, 2011.
October 12, 2011 by MarijkeD
Filed under Lectures & Readings
Michael Webb, CCA Senior Mellon Fellow, speaks on journeys in architecture at the Canadian Centre of Architecture on October 13, 2011 at 6 pm.
“The lecture is constructed around the notion of the journey as an interval between the memory of the place one has just left and the anticipation—contrasted with the actuality—of arrival at one’s destination. Two projects, the Drive-in House and the Temple Island study, implying two very different types of journey, are used to illuminate this theme.”
The lecture will be streamed live for people who are interested but cannot attend: http://www.ustream.tv/chan
