Designing Imminence: Translations from the Everyday City to Evocative Architectures at Design Week Calgary

​How do ordinary urban fragments give rise to architecture? This exhibition features student work from a design studio that began with site-based explorations and found artifacts from the everyday city. Through a process of material and spatial experimentation, students translated their discoveries into evocative architectural objects — abstract constructions that capture moments of presence, transformation, and excitement.

​Instructed by Daniel Hapton + Chad Connery
