DECLARATIONS of [inter]dependence
and the im[media]cy of design


October 25 - 28, 2001. Concordia University, Montreal

PROGRAM

MONDAY OCTOBER 22 - THURSDAY 25th
DECLARATIONS Ateliers
In the week prior to the Symposium we have organised three four-day workshops for students and symposium participants. Creative work generated in the workshops will be exhibited in the VAV Gallery at Concordia University. The workshops will provide an intensive learning laboratory setting for the students, in which the exchange and acquisition of knowledge through the creative process develops in response to the needs defined by the participants. Fundamental to the project is the principle that faculty, workshop leaders and students interact collectively to develop research through direct dialogue and experience during project creation.

For more information please see the ateliers section.
