Join us this fall for our offering of lectures, panels, and events! The New Directions in Housing series continues with talks that examine the challenges and opportunities that housing presents. This season, the series takes a particular look at the situation in, and solutions for, our own region. We will also celebrate Patrick Condon’s book, Broken City: Land Speculation, Inequality, and Urban Crisis, an examination of how to repair the broken link between local wages and shelter prices.
This semester, we are excited to host two talks by renowned designers from Mexico City. Our Arthur Erickson Lecture returns with Tatiana Bilbao of Tatiana Bilbao Estudio, and includes an opportunity to visit the recently-reopened UBC Museum of Anthropology. The annual Garden Design Lecture features Hortense Blanchard and Susana Rojas Saviñón of Estudio Ome.
Our events are free and all are welcome to attend, although some events are ticketed.
