The Canadian Council of University Schools of Architecture (CCUSA) initiated its first pan-Canada lecture series in response to COVID-related restrictions on traveling and large gatherings.
The 12 schools of architecture agreed upon ?diversity? as the theme for this year. The school are taking turns to present two lectures a month starting on the west coast and moving across Canada.
?With the forced move online, CCUSA saw an opportunity to connect across the country and beyond, and I want to thank everyone who collaborated to make this happen in a rather short period of time! I have high hopes that this first pan-Canada lecture series will set up a new trajectory for how the twelve Schools of Architecture across Canada can come together to engage in thought-provoking discussions,? says  Anne Bordeleau, chair of CCUSA. ?Offering a significant occasion to gather students, academic and professionals in one conversation, the series is a platform for a remarkable group of speakers and respondents, and a springboard into the rich territory that the reframing of architecture unshadows.? For the months of October and November, the lecture series will present:
