The Global and International Studies Program would like to announce an upcoming event in the Contemporary Trends in Global and International Studies speaker series. Mark Raymond (Architect and Lecturer in Architecture, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine) will be presenting “Urban Islands” on Thursday January 26th, 2017 at 4:30PM in 2017 Dunton Tower.
Abstract: Architecture can be understood to operate as a form of aesthetic regime determining the fundamental parameters of our individual occupation of space and how we occupy the city and the wider landscape. Operating at a range of scales how might our reading of this expansive dynamic inform contemporary cultural production? If architectural production operates as a series of critical narratives, how are these narratives revealed in the colonial, post-colonial and contemporary context of the Caribbean?
Students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend. To register for this event please e-mail: jenelle.williams@carleton.ca.
