Want to capture a memory? Have you a desire to reflect upon something that made you feel connected to the built environment?
We're hosting an informal writing session to shape and to share your story.
Join us online: June 24 (6:30-8:00 p.m. MDT.)
Bring an image, drawing or illustration that represents a memory tied to a place for you. Use the workshop to turn the image into a mini-story. You’ll end up with a memory that is tied to a place.
The informal working session is facilitated by the following conversation brokers:
Veronica Briseño Castrejon is a Ph.D. Candidate in Environmental Design in the School of Architecture Landscape and Planning at the University of Calgary who is focused on the importance of cultural and historical meanings in the collective and transdisciplinary building towards holistic habitability.
Sally El Sayed is a recent Master of Architecture graduate at Carleton University with a research focus around the connection between the destruction and construction of physical space and memories, narrative and storytelling. She is also interested in collective and community-driven design thinking and documentation.
Alfred Gomez is a recent graduate of the Master of Landscape Architecture program at the University of Calgary who continues to explore the design of client resilient spaces and spatial justice. He is also interested in integrating unique narratives within the landscape.
Joy Olagoke is a recent Master of Architecture graduate at the University of Calgary this spring who was initially drawn to architecture for its potential to be used as a communication tool and social bridge. She likes to design spaces that act as mixing pots for society.
Sasha Simic is in her final year as a Masters of Architecture student at the University of Calgary. She has always been interested in discovering ways in which to use architecture for social change and to question the status quo. Sasha was always drawn to architecture because of its power to change people’s lives.
Sergio Veyzaga describes himself as: Just a mere individual passionate for the arts and philosophy who tries to obtain a better understanding of his surrounding material culture.
