About the 2022 NLAA Lecture Series and this event
Welcome everyone to our 2022 NLAA Lecture Series.
This year our Lecture Series touches on the topic of PROCESS. This current era whereby social, economic, and political activities are dependent on information and communication technologies has also impacted our design industry and processes. In a time of rapid shift from traditional industry to digital technology we are seeing change and innovation in how we create. As we all know, the PROCESS of design is evolutionary; firms are continuously exploring the interfaces between idea, interpretation, and the built object whether it’s through traditional process or by embracing the evolution of digital representation. We are seeing digital information being used to revolutionize our PROCESS, pushing the envelope with ideas of NFTs and palpable virtual realities. So, we ask the question “how do members of our design profession use or rationalize the digital age in their everyday processes allowing them to imagine, build, and realize innovative ways to solve traditional problems?
We have had exhilarating presentations by SUPRBLK and Superkül earlier this winter and are continuing the conversation on April 21 with Matt Williams of O2 Planning + Design located in Calgary, AB. Matt is a Partner at O2, an innovative and collaborative studio that integrates landscape architecture, planning, and urban design in a holistic practice that has evolved to examine all facets of cities and landscapes, from the intimate experience of parks and public spaces to the evolution of districts and regions. Matt’s work focuses on delivering projects that emphasize the development of multi-functional landscapes and public spaces that meet both the cultural and ecological needs of a site. He works collaboratively with clients, consultants, and junior colleagues through a design process of discovery and exploration to deliver award-winning projects that reflect a genuine sense of place. Recently, Matt led the design and construction multiple award-winning projects including West Eau Claire Park and the Bow to Bluff Corridor in Calgary. He is currently working with Waterfront Toronto shaping future parks and the public realm of Villiers Island.

About this event
Supported by the Robert H. Winters endowment and hosted by the Dalhousie University Faculty of Architecture and Planning’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, you are invited to join for the following presentation and discussion.
Michael Mckay and Dr. Shelagh McCartney have been working in partnership since 2018, developing the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Housing Strategy and many of its supporting projects.
Together, McKay and McCartney, will speak about the systems that have led to on-reserve housing conditions in Canada, housing as central to community health and the innovative research being undertaken to support the development of the NAN Housing Strategy.
They will ground this work through discussions of how their partnership was built and why they feel it is successful, their vision for Indigenous housing, and share advice on how others can support this resurgence.
A welcome presentation by Elder Albert Marshall and Professor Emeritus Richard Kroeker will precede the presentation and a question and answer period with audience participation will follow.
Zoom details to be provided upon registration.
