The BCSLA invites you to attend the first Vancouver Island BCSLA Voir et être Vu (“See and Be Seen”). The concept of “See and Be Seen” is a BCSLA driven initiative with the intent of providing a venue for Landscape Architects to showcase projects to likeminded colleagues. “See and Be Seen” provides a “show and tell” forum, which gives localized offices and BCSLA members in and around Victoria, Nanaimo and Courtney the opportunity to present projects to a local audience.
Date: January 14, 2015
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: “Open Space Gallery” at 510 Fort St., Victoria
Email: admin@bcsla.org for further information
“See and Be Seen” forums could highlight both individual and group projects. These forums would include projects from individual practitioners as well as an expanded format including larger projects that include other participating professional’s (i.e. planners, architects, engineers). These combined presentations would reinforce the professional symbiotic relationships that evolve when creating projects of magnitude.
Victoria Landscape Architect Michael Bocking of Michael Bocking Landscape Architect Ltd. will make the initial presentation which will be an overview highlighting landscape architecture on Vancouver Island, beginning with the Olmstead 1907 plan for Uplands to the present, touching on locally referenced public outdoor space design. Discussion to follow.
Immediately following will be a joint presentation by Victoria based Landscape Architect Scott Murdoch of Murdoch Degreeff Inc. and Architect Franc D’Ambrosio of D’AMBROSIO architecture+urbanism. The presentation will be a detailed examination of their collective relationship in the creation of the Reliable Controls project in Victoria. Discussion to follow and light refreshments will be available.
