Infinite Happiness: Film Screening And Panel Discussion
In celebration of World Town Planning Day, join the Planning Institute of BC’s South Coast Chapter and Vancouver Public Space Network for a film screening and panel discussion of The Infinite Happiness.
The Infinite Happiness is a personal video diary shot entirely in Copenhagen’s “8 House” designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), following a group of residents as they experience life in a contemporary housing block that was designed to be ideal housing for all families. “The film constructs a collection of life stories all interconnected through their personal relationships with the building (drawing) the lines of a human map, which allows the viewer to discover the building through an internal and intimate point of view – all while questioning the architecture’s ability to create collective happiness.”
Panelists include:
- Ian McDonald, Architect/Housing Innovations – Carscadden Architects
- Keltie Craig MCIP, RPP, Social Planner– City of Vancouver
- Stephanie Williams, General Manager – Better Environmentally Sound Transportation
- One more panelist to be confirmed
