Yiu-Bun Chan - Dec 3 - L-Space Gallery, Lakeshore Campus
Lecture Synopsis: Echo - Creative Accidents

The building code does not entertain probability; it prescribes. This quintessential compendium provides more than requirements for health and safety. It highlights an undercurrent of obsession with finite control in a domain as creative or unpredictable as architecture. Challenging this paradox of certain uncertainty, Echo is an array of projects that were conceived and developed through accidents and observations. This talk aims to demonstrate the significance of creative accidents and that they are blessings in disguise.
