Dialogues in Action: Design studio options at Waterloo Architecture Fall 2023
ON VIEW MAY 15 - JUNE 21, 2024
Architectural design studios address ongoing questions, but often they are monologues, not dialogues. In the fall of 2023, four option studios leveraged architecture as a medium to step outside the walls of the school and into ongoing conversations about space, creating opportunities for students to join in. From two studios addressing the deep and protracted problem of housing inequality, to one exploring our intrinsic need to belong within our built environments, and one navigating international reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, these four courses engage students and faculty together in urgent global problems, and connect them with allies and movements who challenged and inspired them.
This exhibition includes work from several fall 2023 studio courses:
- Architecture, Activism, and Advocacy Against Housing Alienation
- Alternative housing strategies: Tiny Home Studio
- Creativity, Identity, & Belonging
- Turtle Island’s Embassies: Diplomacy and Reconciliation on Pennsylvania Ave
