Capture Atmosphere

This year is the 50th Anniversary of the Department of Landscape Architecture, the first accredited Master of Landscape Architecture degree program in Canada. We want to celebrate this joyous event with the whole faculty. Therefor the overall theme of the symposium Atmosphere_15 this year is LAND+.

Land in relation to buildings, interiors, materialization, environments, policies and more. As part of the symposium, we want your interpretation of LAND in light of Atmosphere_15 LAND+ and the sub-themes as outlined at atmos.ca. When the Faculty started the annual symposium, it wrote: “Atmosphere is the consequence of the projects we make as designers of landscapes, cities, architecture, and interiors. Atmosphere is hard to grasp and even harder to talk about.”

This is where you step in. Catch Atmosphere in a photograph. Atmosphere, with all its fragility susceptible to your interpretation. You reveal its existence.

The themes for Atmosphere15 LAND+ are:

Land as Story

Land as Community

Digital Land

Land as Material, Matter and Form

Land-based Pedagogies

Land as More than Human

Land Created, New Land
