Shannon Bassett, an assistant prof at the McEwen School of Architecture, doesn’t just inspire learners in Sudbury — she takes her talent on the road, and brings the MSoA with her
Shannon Bassett recently returned to Sudbury from a trip to Venice, Italy. And while she was enveloped in the city's breathtaking architecture, the assistant professor at the McEwen School of Architecture was not there simply to see the sites.
Founded around 1640, the old city of Delhi is a cultural and heritage treasure that has become chaotic with dilapidated buildings, crumbling infrastructure, overcrowding and traffic. Built for about 60,000 people, the population is 350,000, many of whom are unhoused. Bassett's 2021 graduate studio did their work from Sudbury because they were unable to travel during the pandemic. But last October, she and members of her 2022 studio went to the Indian city to conduct field work and visit useful precedents, including Chandigarh, Jaipur and Agra to learn more about sustainable architecture and urban design.
Bassett's collaborators in India were Anuradha Chaturvedi from the Delhi School of Planning and Architecture and Smita Datta Makhija, principal of AVESANA Architects and chair of ICOMOS North Zone. The "Time Space Existence" exhibition runs concurrently with the Venice Architecture Biennale, considered the most prestigious architecture event in the world. International influencers will have an opportunity to see it now through Nov. 23."I had the opportunity to attend the opening of Architects Against Housing Alienation's 'Not for Sale?' exhibit at the Canadian Pavilion at the Biennale.
"I am moderating a panelist discussion featuring three award-winning women architects who practise in northern Ontario. The session is entitled, 'Building Equality in Architecture North – BEA: Building Coalitions'.
