Kate Orff lecture
What Shapes the City?
One of a Kind Show
The world’s largest annual gathering on public-private partnerships meets in Toronto, bringing together senior government officials and business leaders from a cross-section of professions, including architects and engineers.
Landscape architect Kate Orff, founder of New York firm Scape and director of Columbia University’s urban design program, presents the Harry J. Webb lecture at Robson Square in Vancouver.
Presented by Richard Florida and Adam Greenfield, this lecture examines the role the design disciplines play in creating more culturally engaged, ecologically sustainable, socially just, and artfully conceived artifacts, cities and environments.
A yearly tradition since 1975, Toronto’s One of a Kind show features an array of vendors, selling everything from hand-crafted jewelry to original finds in home decor.
