The serious shortcomings of conventional models of senior housing have been exposed by the current pandemic; new models are direly needed. In this course students will study with the architecture firm Sputnik to develop new designs of housing for aging in place, with a focus on co-housing. Rather than a conventional design studio, this course can be imagined as a design lab in which all work is the pooling of efforts of three or more students from different disciplines (architecture, interior design, city planning, and landscape). Students will have opportunities to hear from communities of elders as they imagine and explore how they want to live together in coming years. The focus will be on social needs; practical but inventive play of spaces and building volumes; relationship of private to shared space, as well as to the street and the community; and developing a simple but working pro-forma to test financial viability of the design proposals. The output of the course will be multiple iterations of working models for elder housing that accommodate design, planning and development considerations.
Prerequisites: This course will be open to undergraduate and graduate students. Students from within FAUM are required to have completed at least two full years of design studio. Students from other faculties should demonstrate an interest in housing or senior related life issues through previously completed course work or life experience.

This course explores contemporary public art and design found in the Canadian urban landscape. Works of public art along with their respective social, political and historical implications will be explored. Western theories will be coupled with Non-Western philosophies and Indigenous worldviews. Through this process, students will gain an awareness of artists, architects and designers who are contributing to the field as well as scholars who write about public art and design. At the end of the course, students will be able to discuss the interdisciplinary nature of public art and design.

This course will unveil a root language of digital space and will work to bridge the divide between physical and digital acts of ‘making’. Workshops, spatial gatherings and input sessions, made possible through a single digital platform will act as a staging ground for the communication on prototyping, fabrication and material practices in relation to construction and the application of critical craft.
Prerequisites: This course is open to graduate students in Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, City Planning, and ED 4 students.

Are there such things as mindful spaces or only spaces created by mindful designers? This studio course explores this question through the many aspects of contemplative design. By revisiting the role of the designer in the design process, this course tackles a range of design interventions at various scales that investigate how we conceptualize and create our interior environments. The course strikes a balance between history, theory, critical thinking and design, critiquing existing design practices while exploring alternate design methodologies and approaches.
*EVDS students must register for both Part A and Part B of the studio
