Living with Architecture in Canada
About this event
Instructor: Rhodri Windsor Liscombe
Architecture shapes how we live, work, and gather every day. These talks invite you to look more closely at the buildings around us, from First Nations traditions to colonial settlements to today’s innovative designs. Along the way, you’ll meet the people behind the work, including celebrated Indigenous and women architects. Each of the six sessions explores one theme—Shelter, Belief, Commerce, Governance, Technology, and Habitation—combining history with striking examples that we will see and discuss.
About the instructor: Rhodri Windsor Liscombe is Professor Emeritus at UBC where he taught and served as Head of Art History & Visual Art. He has published widely, including the books Architecture and the Canadian Fabric; Canada: Modern Architectures in History; The New Spirit: Modern Architecture in Vancouver 1938–1963; and a book on F.M. Rattenbury.
