On Site 24: migration launch.  On Site has been produced in Calgary now for more than a decade and curiously has a higher profile almost anywhere else in Canada than here in Calgary.  

Thursday, November 4th
DaDe ART & DESIGN LAB
7:30-10:30.

There is a new feeling all of a sudden in Calgary, something about the old alliances shifting and a new optimism emerging.  This latest issue of On Site is about migration with articles that include Chinese malls in the suburbs, packing one's entire life into a shipping container – what do you take, what do you leave, the ongoing removals from outport Newfoundland, Lateral's Prix de Rome projects for the North, the making of town squares around commuter train stations—twenty-six articles in all. 

Migration is a really timely subject, given that Canada is a nation of immigrants and Calgary has one of the highest proportions of new Canadians in the country.  Looking at migration is critical in the development of Canadian architecture and urbanism.   

Because On Site is hard to find in Calgary, lots of the new issue and interesting back issues will be available for you to catch up on.
