This unique exhibit will feature a selection of entries from the recent Living Wall Studio Competition – a joint collaboration between the University of British Columbia’s School of Architecture + Landscape Architecture and Lafarge North America. Featured projects will showcase the creativity of UBC’s Master of Architecture students. Competitors were challenged to design a revolutionary precast building envelope component that utilizes the properties of ultra-high-performance concrete – pushing the concept of enclosure while addressing complications related to molds, casting and precast work. The exhibit centrepiece, the winning design by Pat Danielson and Sam Ostrow, illustrates an innovative living wall concept.
The AIBC Gallery is free and open to the public Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Event: November 17, 2011 – January 9, 2012
