The work of more than 50 international architects and designers is on display at the Kasian Gallery in the in the faculty of environmental design (EVDS) as part of the schedule of events for the ACADIA 2011 Conference (Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture).
The conference is exploring Integration Through Computation in a series of workshops, panels, lectures and presentations on campus and at the Banff Centre for the Arts this week.
The exhibit, entitled Integrative Sensibilities, has been designed and coordinated by EVDS assistant professor Jason S. Johnson. In addition to competition winners, peer reviewed and invited design projects from cutting edge firms, the exhibit will include the work of emerging practices curated by Jason S. Johnson, Vera Parlac and Joshua M. Taron.
"We are happy to be able to present the work of so many talented and emerging designers in one show, especially to our greater community of Calgary, which is increasingly becoming engaged in conversations about the importance of design to the culture of great cities,” says Johnson. “We hope that this will continue the discussions about how design and innovation are drivers for the creation of a vibrant and forward thinking community."
The exhibit includes projects by Marc Fornes, Mark Foster Gage, Iwamoto Scott Architecture, Chuck Hoberman, Tom Wiscombe, PROJECTIONE, Andrew Kudless, Skylar Tibbits, Andrew Benjamin, SHoP Architects, Minus Architecture Studio, Synthetiques, Steven Ma, and Florencia Pita and SDA.
