Public City is a Canadian architecture and landscape architecture studio based in Winnipeg with offices in Toronto and Edmonton.
Framed as a light-hearted but pointed rebuttal to the prevalence of private space in the Canadian city, Public City argues for a public realm that is layered, messy, culturally generous, and focussed on wellbeing in the collective human experience. This lecture explores the evolving relationship between civic engagement (through architectural and landscape architectural acts), human equity, and individual responsibility.
Through a lessons-learned exploration of recent projects, Liz Wreford and Peter Sampson share how the work of their hybrid design studio accepts practice as a public act.
