"Building a Better Tomorrow: ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and the Future of Architecture"

Recent advancements in digital media and fabrication technologies are transforming how architecture is taught and practised. Integrative design methods, the virtual reconstruction of artifacts and neighbourhoods, the conception and presentation of design propositions - these diverse topics have emerged as essential components of educating the architects of tomorrow. Professor Jemtrud’s work, which ranges from the creation of high-fidelity, immersive and interactive 3D models to digitally mediated collaborative environments, reflects the field’s rapidly evolving nature. Please join the Director of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s School of Architecture for an inside look at the cutting-edge research that is changing how our communities are constructed.

Michael Jemtrud, MArch’00, is an Associate Professor of Architecture and Director of the School of Architecture at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. He was the Founding Director of the Carleton Immersive Media Studio at Carleton University, and is currently constructing a new research unit at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ called the Facility for Architectural Research in Media and Mediation (FARMM). His research agenda encompasses the investigation and development of new technologies and expertise in 3-D and time-based new media, high-performance visualization, and network-based work environments for remote design practices. His work emphasizes projects that both drive innovation and complement traditional research in architecture, urban design, heritage preservation and related disciplines. In addition to courses in new media, he teaches design studio, the theory of representation, the philosophy of technology, and the theories of artistry found in the work of 20th century avant-garde and contemporary artists.
