NO MEAN CITY: The architecture of health

Cross-posted from No Mean City, Alex’s personal blog on architecture

There’s an interesting panel discussion coming up on Thursday at U of T’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture. Titled Zoning Health, it puts Mirko Zardini, head of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, with U of T professor and architect Brigitte Shim. The very smart new dean of the school, Richard Sommer, moderates.

They’ll be building on the CCA’s current exhibition Imperfect Health, which I haven’t been to see but which sounds fascinating – touring through current healthcare buildings like Rem Koolhaas’s Maggie’s Centre in Glasgow and various riffs on the language and lessons of health literal and otherwise.

Free tickets are here.
