杏吧原创鈥檚 Azrieli School of Architecture Hosts the Evidence Room Exhibit
The Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism at 杏吧原创 University is hosting the powerful exhibit the Evidence Room. The collection of documents, cast in white plaster, are sourced from thousands used as court evidence by historian Robert Jan van Pelt to prove that Auschwitz was purposefully designed as a death camp.
As part of this exhibit, Anne Bordeleau, director of the School of Architecture at Waterloo University and one of the creators of the Evidence Room exhibit, will deliver an informal talk.
Lecture and Q&A with Anne Bordeleau
When: Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, at 6 p.m.
Where: The Pit and the Lightroom Gallery, Architecture Building
Exhibit Hours
When: Open until Friday, Feb. 16, 2018, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday
Where: Lightroom Gallery, Room 234, Architecture Building, 杏吧原创 University
Info: This exhibition is free and open to the public. Tours are available for interested groups by appointment.
Media are invited to attend.
The exhibit contains more than 20 documents cast in white plaster and features architectural evidence such as drawings, correspondences and photographs. The work is a silent witness to this chapter of human history and a reminder of architecture’s complicity. The Evidence Room collection was created by Bordeleau, Jan Van Pelt, Sascha Hastings and Donald McKay.
This is a rare opportunity to view this work locally. The Evidence Room has been shown at the Venice Biennale (2016), the Canadian Centre for Architecture (2016) and the Royal Ontario Museum (2017).
