Roadtrip (10)! - Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape + Design 2011-2012 Lectures

Oh, Daniels at University of Toronto, I wish you were so much closer.  Physically I mean, I carry you in my heart.  Following has been lifted directly from the school lecture website (because I am lazy and still have this horrid cough for which I am blaming my studio students for infecting me with).  I am also having a rather difficult time convincing upon them the importance of lectures and visiting schools and places, etc.  Remember when  you were in architecture school and all those far away places sounded so exotic?  Those schools full of your burgeoning competition?  I remember visiting Portland for a school conference and a bunch of environmental geeks from across the country and I were all staying at the same hotel, we would talk about how one school was better then another and architecture and of course how we would save the planet through architecture, etc.  Sigh, the days.

Go visit a campus and live the glory of youth, explore, learn, find fellow geeks with which to converse and convort.  Fill the mind with ideas and the heart with hope.

Besides, Toronto has a decent music scene, I liked it.
