University of Guelph - Landscape Architecture Presentation

Grant Fahlgren [1], Indigenous Design Lead at PFS Studio [2], speaking on “Indigenous Urbanism:  Design for all our Relations.”

This talk explores the potential for a shared future where environmental relations guide cities’ growth rather than abstract concepts of land use and zoning. The discussion will include:  how commitments to Reconciliation involve living in alignment with our environments; how we can move from notions of depreciation in buildings and infrastructure to emergence within natural systems; and how we can foster the support needed to make this future possible.

This talk is generously supported by the University of Guelph Indigenous Student Society [3] and the Ontario Association of Landscape Architects [4].
