ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ on the Move: Lecture with Michael Jemtrud - CANCELLED
The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Alumni Association of Ottawa extends a cordial
invitation to graduates, family and friends to attend a ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ on
the Move lecture and reception with Michael Jemtrud, Director,
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ School of Architecture.
"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.
