ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN NOW - Shawn Van Sluys Speaks March 6th, 2017 at 6pm in L1060

In early 2016, Musagetes, an international arts foundation, launched two inter-related programs: (1) the ArtsEverywhere online platform (ArtsEverywhere.ca) and (2) a rhizomatically expanding series of Trans-national Projects in São Paulo, New York, Dakar, and elsewhere. Both of these programs, in addition to Musagetes’ long-term city programs, are based on a belief that many of the most powerful disruptions to our society’s flawed systems and institutions come from positions of struggle—from those on the front lines and those in solidarity with them.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN NOW - Ivan Townshend Speaks November 28th at 6:15pm in L1060

The Privatization of Neighbourhoods and Emerging Social Ecology of Cities.

Using Calgary as an example, this talk will present a conceptual overview of new forms of neighbourhood privatization and design since the 1970s, and ways in which these represent multiple levels of nesting of privatization schemes through Common Interest Developments (CIDs).  A graphic model is developed to summarize the effects on the social ecology of the city and the potential for the partitioning of the city into new public and private urban realms.
