Lecture series
As the only ongoing architecture and landscape architecture lecture series in Vancouver, the SALA Lecture Series makes an important contribution to the intellectual life of the city. The lectures allow for multiple perspectives on a range of issues, including design, technology, sustainability and professional leadership, and encourage a cross-fertilization of ideas and visions for the future. Your support helps us continue the conversation around the creation of built environments that support civil and sustainable living.

Lunchtime lectures
In addition to our formal lecture series, along with our student organizations, we also regularly coordinate informal lectures over the lunch hour. In these lectures, students, faculty members, prominent professionals passing through Vancouver, and local professionals have the opportunity to showcase projects and initiatives they are involved with.
