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.
Yiu-Bun Chan, M.Arch - Personal Bio

Yiu-Bun trained in piano performance in Canada, before completing auditory spatial research at RMIT University (Melbourne) and receiving his Master of Architecture from the University of Waterloo. Yiu-Bun’s background in music and architecture has provided foundation for his sound and light installations, which have been honoured with the Master Works Prize (Cambridge Galleries) and the Artifact Award (OAA). His paper on parametric architecture and aleatory music was published in May 2014 by the Centre for American Architecture and Design. Yiu-Bun lives in Toronto where he works as a consultant in art procurement and architecture.
