For this inaugural lecture, we will be joined by environmental artist and designer Alyssa Schwann and architect Laura Killam, both of whom will present their recent works and\/or projects currently underway.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Alyssa Schwann<\/strong> is an environmental artist and designer who for many years taught at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Architecture. Her professional experience involves design in Canada, Britain, and the Netherlands, with projects in North America, Europe, and North Africa. She spent several years at West 8 in the Netherlands as a project leader and designer, with a focus on parks, gardens and public spaces that included high-profile urban design projects for Toronto\u2019s Central Waterfront and Governors Island in New York City. Recently, Alyssa has been creating installations in an urban forest in Vancouver and this past summer on the island of Korppoo in Finland. These temporary interventions, \u201cdrawing\u201d with string, continue her ongoing studies in the intersection of \u201cart + ecology,\u201d examining the temporal and formal relationships between land and place. The work is intended as a meditation on an understanding of the need to nurture a deep relationship to place, using forest\u2013and string\u2013as the subjects.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Laura Killam<\/strong> is a BC native who grew up between Vancouver and an off-grid island on the BC coast. Laura established the small, full service architectural practice of Laura Killam Architecture in 2017. Specializing in residential projects situated on remote, wild sites along the BC coast, the studio looks for design solutions that combine function and aesthetics to produce quiet, understated architecture. LKA strives to make spaces that are deeply connected to their site, that delight in beauty both within and outside of the building, and that respond meaningfully to a client\u2019s needs. Laura will speak about several residential projects on the coast, each aimed at engaging in a conversation with the unique characteristics of the site that it inhabits. Each design aims to connect inhabitants to the natural setting through curating the experience of moving through the landscape, exploring the shift of views, light and shadow, and finding a balance of shelter and expansiveness.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Registration + Event Details: <a href=\"https:\/\/westcoastmodern.org\/\">WESTCOASTMODERN.ORG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ON THE BOARDS: ALYSSA SCHWANN + LAURA KILLAM (Presented by the West Coast Modern League) TUES, APRIL 4, 2023 \u2013 5:00pm to 7:00pm Hosted by Inform Interiors, 50 Water Street, Vancouver, BC FREE EVENT with Registration | Open to the Public &#8211;
