POST-TRAUMATIC PLAYDATE

Most people today, if they think about borders at all, can be forgiven for believing lines on a map are real things serving useful purposes. Demarcating the edges of nation-states is responsible for everything from shoring up sovereignty, nationalism and colonialism, to drawing the lines between “us” and “them.” However, by taking a closer look at the long, messy histories, and even messier contemporary functions, you will discover those invisible lines are, at best, lying to us. This talk explores why we believe the lies borders tell us, and why we shouldn’t.

Arthur Erickson was one of Canada’s most prolific and influential architects.

He was chosen as the campus planner and his firm Erickson Massey designed the Academic/Residence Building which opened its unfinished doors in the Fall of 1971. The 912 ft long, 9 story building embraced learning and living together in one structure, which encompassed much of Erickson’s philosophy on university campuses in general and higher education in particular.
