This morning Henry talked to Patricia Ballamingie about Edward Burtynsky’s photographs of China, now on display in the Carleton University Art Gallery. She was recently on a panel discussion that analysed the pictures from the perspectives of several academic disciplines, representing geography. Burtynsky’s work is renowned for the way in which he captures the many ways that industry infringes on, and creates Manufactured Landscapes. Burtynsky’s TED talks are available here.
Later, we went to the archives for an interview Carol did with Hendrik Rosenthal of Hyder Consulting Ltd. in Hong Kong about “eco-cities”. These are ambitious projects that aim to incorporate sustainability features into brand new cities from the earliest stages of planning. Hendrik described the population shift that is driving urban growth in East Asia, as well as some of the novel ideas being tried out in eco-cities like Masdar.
She was on a panel discussion recently regarding Edward Burtynsky’s China exhibit, on now at the Carleton University Art Gallery.
