A Learning Experience
This unique exhibit features entries from a recent Ductal® design competition sponsored by Lafarge North America, in collaboration with The University of British Columbia School of Architecture + Landscape Architecture (SALA). This "Heavy Studio" competition encouraged Master of Architecture students to explore the functional and aesthetic qualities of Ductal® and its ability to facilitate freedom of design and creativity with respect to living walls and other experiments in concrete. The exhibit centrepiece is the winning design - an innovative living wall concept titled "Cascading Biospheres", by Patrick Danielson and Sam Ostrow. The AIBC Gallery is free and open to the public Monday - Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
