Join us for a talk by Johanna Hurme of Winnipeg's 5468796!
Johanna Hurme is an architect and a founding partner of Winnipeg based 5468796 Architecture. Johanna came to Canada from Finland during the mid 90's, graduated with a Masters of Architecture degree from the University of Manitoba and worked for several years in Winnipeg prior to establishing 5468796 Architecture with Sasa Radulovic in 2007. Working around a single table the twelve members of 5468796 believe that every client, user and civic environment – regardless of budget – deserves an outcome that advances architecture.

In the past seven years the firm has achieved national and international recognition and its work has been published in over 100 books and publications. The Houston based Rice Design Alliance recently stated that they ‘truly believe 5468796 to be one of the most talented young design firms worldwide.’

5468796 makes design advocacy an ongoing pursuit through critical practice, professorships at the Universities of Manitoba, Toronto and Montreal; and through numerous public engagements.  In 2012 5468796 represented Canada at the Venice Biennale in Architecture and in 2013 they were selected as recipient of the 2013 Prix de Rome Award in Architecture for Canada by the Canada Council for the Arts. Johanna currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, on the Council of the Manitoba Association of Architects and is the President of the RAW Gallery Board of Directors. In 2010 she received a Manitoba Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Emerging Business.

Designing Engagement:
Creating public engagement process for the design process

One of the major components of social sustainability when it comes to architecture and urban design is public engagement process. Although many, if not all, agree it is desirable, how to conduct it is a different kind of design problem  - what to do? how much of it? who gets involved? The process for public involvement is a careful design in itself - from stating to problem the integrating the results into the design process.

Join us for a panel-led discussion of designing the public engagement process and how it can be integrated best with your design process.

Panel members:
·         Drew Ferrari, Architect, Associate, Community Development Team / BC Marketing Team at Stantec
·         Cynthia Girling, Professor, Landscape Architecture, UBC; Director of elementslab
·         Bruce Haden, Architect, formerly partner at Dialog Vancouver
·         Amanda Mitchell, Public Engagement Specialist, City of Vancouver


WHEN: Thursday, February 12th, 6 - 8:30pm
WHERE: Inform Contract, 405 Railway Street


Informal mingling beforehand, the moderator-led panel discussion will begin at 6:30pm. Second part of the discussion, around 7:30pm, will involve the rest of the group in the conversation.


 
** This event qualifies for 1 Core Learning Unit from AIBC CES program.
