Women in Architecture – Public Space: Designing for Flexibility and Activation

WIA Vancouver presents an investigation into the design and programming of public spaces to foster community and culture. The past 18 months has reinforced the importance of good quality urban public spaces, with not only permanent features, but the ability to be flexible, hosting temporary events and activations. 1stPlace and Haily Zaki take us on a journey to London, Eindhoven and Los Angeles to examine examples of good design and programming. How can diverse types of installations breathe life into place? How can architecture and landscaping contribute? And how can we design flexibility into the public realm to account for the unexpected?
