Information Session
Graduate Programs: Faculty of Environmental Design, University of Calgary
Hosted by Mauricio Soto Rubio
Tuesday, October 25, 2016
9 AM, Room W850, Centre for the Arts, University of Lethbridge

Faculty of Environmental Design (EVDS) at the University of Calgary offers exciting programs to prepare individuals for critical work in sustainable built and natural environments. Situated within one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, EVDS has long been dedicated to an interdisciplinary and innovative culture. Our combined commitment to both the environment and leading edge design makes for a stimulating learning and teaching setting. Students as well as faculty members are dedicated to seeking answers for more sustainable ways to inhabit our world – as creative and effective design collaborators and leaders.

The Master of Architecture (MArch) is a course-based graduate degree; a top-tier program in Canada, the MArch centres itself on the ‘ecologies’ of design. The Master of Planning (MPlan) is a newly accredited course-based professional program that is on the leading edge of practice. We have recently mounted the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) as the first graduate program in landscape architecture in Canada since 1980. These three professional, course-based programs complement our thesis-based Master of Environmental Design (MEDes) + Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program making for a community of scholars who consider design & environmental directions from broad interdisciplinary perspectives.

Mauricio Soto-Rubio is an assistant professor of architecture at the Faculty of Environmental Design at the University of Calgary, where he teaches comprehensive building design studios, structures, and seminars related with lightweight and membrane structures. He is a founding partner of the Lightweight Structures Research Unit (LSRU) at the University of Calgary as well as the Studio for Lightweight Design, a multidisciplinary firm that specializes in the design, manufacturing and installation of lightweight, membrane and deployable structures.

Soto Rubio also speaks in the Architecture & Design NOW speaker series, organized by the Department of Art, on Monday, October 24, 2016 at 6:15 pm in Room L1060, LINC Building, University of Lethbridge.  More information about this event can be found on the noticeboard.
