The first event of the Fall 2024 Series is scheduled for next week, Monday Oct. 7 at 5:45 pm in the Lecture Hall. The guest lecturer will be architect Tye Farrow from Farrow Partners (Toronto, ON). This lecture will be entitled "Constructing Health: How the Built Environment Enhances Your Mind’s Health". It is presented by the Ontario Association of Architects. It is free and open to all.
Working at the intersection of architecture and neuroscience, Tye Farrow is a world-recognized pioneer in tackling how our built environments either give or cause health. With award-winning projects around the globe that enact salutogenic design - design that actively incites health - he is the first Canadian architect to have earned a Master of Neuroscience Applied to Architecture (University of Venice Iuav). He also has a Master of Architecture in Urban Design (Harvard University), and a Bachelor of Architecture degree (University of Toronto). He is a much sought-after speaker, having presented to respected organizations in over forty-five cities on six continents, and he recently published his first book, titled Constructing Health: How the Built Environment Enhances Your Mind’s Health, in which he explores the relationship between placemaking, mind health and human performance, at the intersection of neuroscience and architecture.
Please note that this lecture qualifies for two (2) Ontario Association of Architects Continuing Education Structured Learning Hours.
