TMU DAS Margery Winkler Lecture: Lisa Rapoport

How do we enable rich experiences of place? At PLANT, they do not ask what a project will look like, but instead how does it enable the visitor, user, or community to build their own experience, to revel in a sense of discovery, to want to touch it, to want to share it with other people. Their projects actively promote noticing the land and history, finding resonance in it, and building community by creating collective memory and experience. What ‘it’ looks like emerges from that exploration. As a practice that creates architecture, landscapes and installations, we have been able to explore these questions across a broad range of small to very large private and public projects. Some of these will be discussed in this presentation.
