Digital drawing of potential urban chair designs. Two people stand on the corners of the drawing with speech bubbles. One reads: "WE WILL REMOVE 1FT OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAIR TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE SEATING," while another speech bubble reads: "WE WILL CUT THE 1FT WASTE INTO SECTIONS THAT CAN BE ARRANGED AS STEPS OR SEATS."

The Collaborative Exercise is a four-day event bringing together 450 graduate and undergraduate students from the entire program, faculty and sessional instructors. Students work collaboratively with a large team over a short deadline and learn how to organize a presentation for a competition format. This year, we had 10 major working groups looking at a range of architectural competitions:

Carbon Positive Affordable Housing
Urban Chair 2.0: Rethinking Street Furniture
Birdwatching in the Chester Meadows
Future Home
Port of Beirut Renewal
2022 Timber Competition
MEXTROPOLI 2022 Pavilion
The Mies Memorial Library
Healthy Homes Design Competition 2022
Canadian Institute of Steel Construction Annual Architectural Student Design Competition: "A Bridge to a View"

The virtual exhibition (dasxhibitions.ca (external link) ) of student work from each team will kick off with an online panel talk/reception via Zoom on February 3rd, 2022 at 6:30 pm. The event is open to the public and no registration is required.
