London's Urban Morphology: SFU Vancouver Speaking Event
Simon Fraser University's Urban Students Department is presenting a Visiting Lecture by Noel Isherwood, a Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Urbanism at the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment.
The topic is London's Urban Morphology:
Urban Morphology is the study of the growth and change of the built form of settlements. It draws on insights from urban history and archaeology, but also from architecture, geography, history, sociology, urban design, spatial analysis, space syntax and town planning. In this lecture Noel Isherwood, a consultant with the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment, explores the City of London from Iron Age to 21st century.
This May, Noel will be returning to Vancouver to co-teach a sustainabile community design workshop at SFU's UniverCITY project. More details to come.
I met Noel at the Traditional Building and Urbanism summer school I attended with the Prince's Foundation last summer and am excited to see him speak on this topic.
I'll be attending his upcoming lecture at SFU Harbour Centre on March 11, at 7 pm. You can also attend by RSVPing here.
