Informed by a literary analysis on secularism and contemporary art criticism, this studio-led research utilizes a rhizomatic philosophical structure that seeks expansion and connective multiplicities rather than a definitive conclusion. Towards this goal, the literary investigation endeavors to define and demystify the complex interrelations between secularism as a pluralistic cultural condition with the academic challenge behind the formation of a method of theological art criticism. The studio-produced visual artwork is both informed by this analysis and rhizomatically seeks its expansion through an introspective investigative process. This inquiry aims to theorize an academic interpretative language capable of taking visual displays of enchantment as genuine, rather than naive depictions of superstition, thus producing structures and inter-religious dialogue that is inclusive of spiritual identity in the shifting landscape of the twenty-first century.Item Open Access Architecture and infrastructure: embracing evolution and change in the contemporary context(2005) Hacker, Jerry; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Architecture and the rhetorical process(2004) Nemeth, Andrea; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Building Beaumont: revisioning winery architecture(2009) Magnan, Michael; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Childscape: gathering a place for learning(2000) Howard, Dana Nicole; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Culture shock: a new suburban reality - a collaborative approach to re-designing a NE Calgary community(2006) Finlay, Alexis R.; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Death, bereavement and an architecture for healing(2011) McMurran, Laura; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Deep skin: a machine architecture for the 21st century(2001) Klumper, Ben; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Direct experience: exploring an architecture of Bauen(2002) Mazurick, David P.; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Engaging adaptation(2003) Mitsch, George; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Experiental symbiosis(2006) Vandermey, Philip Johan; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Freestyle Urbanism: A Collaborative Approach for Healthy Public Space Design(2017) Junnila, Leanne; Keough, Noel; Boutin, Marc; Soto-Rubio, Mauricio; Morrow, GregoryIn order to explore how the socio-political determinants of health in the built environment might inform the design of public space, major works of literature on the socio-politics of space and public health were reviewed. Tactical Urbanism and Integral Urbanism were selected as key models, which formed the basis of my theoretical framework. Data from the Active Neighbourhoods Project offered citizen input on areas for improvement in the selected community of Bridgeland, in Calgary, Canada. The key themes from the lilterature were laid out as a ‘thematic grid’, which was applied to selected neighbourhood sites in order to identify site-specific opportunities. These opportunities formed site-specific design objectives for the proposed redevelopment of a demonstration site: the Luke’s Drug Mart Plaza site in NorthEast Calgary.Item Open Access Friction, delight and the public realm: challenging the role of architect as author(2011) Smith, Michelle C.; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access From Social Equity to Spatial Equity in Urban Space Case Study: Olympic Plaza(2020-05) Pourmojib, Dorsa; Boutin, Marc; Keough, Noel; Miller, Byron A.Inclusivity is an important concept within social practices. However, in many urban spaces which are the platform for social interactions and behaviors, opportunities and resources are not distributed equally among urban dwellers. A diverse range of urban dwellers everyday use urban spaces. Nevertheless, in some cases, marginalized groups such as those with low incomes, immigrants from diverse cultures, and those with special needs may not be considered. Numerous research studies address the importance of establishing equitable urban spaces. But there is a knowledge gap; few studies focus on design strategies that manifest social equity. Put another way, there is a need for research that bridges the study of social equity and the provision of spatial equity. Therefore, this research proposes a spatial approach to inclusive urban design by using a four-step methodology. Firstly, a research framework based on the literature review and factors of successful urban spaces from different urban scholars' points of view is presented and analyzed. Afterward, various urban spaces are analyzed in terms of specific key research questions as precedent studies. By combining extracted design considerations from the precedent studies and literature review, several design strategies and criteria for inclusive and equitable urban design are introduced as a foundation for this research. Finally, an urban space in Calgary is chosen as a case study that has the challenge of social inequity and is analyzed both in terms of its spatial context and its stakeholders' needs. The outcome of this research is a new design for the case study that bridges the gap between social equity and spatial equity.Item Open Access Future unknown(2011) Allen, Jordan; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Generating a holistic architecture of direct experience: the negation of conventional architectural representation(2000) Smith, Troy James; Boutin, MarcItem Open Access Hetero-architecture: re-presenting ethnicity(2001) Laquinte Francis, Marguerite; Boutin, Marc
