- School of the Environment
Martin Bunch from York U. guest lecture at U. Toronto on Ecosystems Approaches originating from James Kay, evolved into EcoHealth approach with community health in coupled social-ecological systems. Presented on three cases, in Kathmandu Nepal; Chennai India; and Credit Valley Conservation Authority in Southern Ontario. I've lectured in Martin's systems thinking class, sometimes it's better to hear a formal talk to appreciate the work of a researcher. (University of Toronto School of the Environment) 20160302 - SFI class fishbowl
Inner circle of discussants on systemic design methods, with outer circle of observers who can swap into inner. Smaller group enables richer interaction amongst active participants, questions build amongst students paying attention. (Strategic Foresight and Innovation program, OCAD U., Toronto) 20150319 - Corktown
Retreat led by @redesign for designwithdialogue.com st-on.org unifytoronto.ca reflecting on progress with communities. @DwDTO started in August 2008, will have been running for a decade this year. Breakouts gave time for social talk over potluck snacks. (Corktown, Toronto, Ontario) 20171214 - Turkey and Wine at Canadian Thanksgiving
Traditional fowl with 1997 Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon. Turkey spatchcocked in the Julia Child style. Wine cork broke in neck of bottle, so slow decanting into pitcher through coffee filter and sieve. Only immediate family this year, reducing stress after recently life changes. Shared pictures of China on computer, video documentaries recently on television (20120907 1620) Toronto - Millenium Park entry, Peterborough, Ontario
Placid waterfall falling onto granite, at the entry to park on Water Street, in Peterborough, Ontario. Follows the fluid theme of the Trent-Severn Waterway locks nearby. (Peterborough, Ontario) 20120828 0907 - Cineplex 4DX
Enjoyed Matinee of Blade Runner 2049, 4DX experience a change from our preference for 2D. The 3D effect was subtle, may not repeat the bucking seat, blowing air and cool water sprays. In hindsight, would have preferred the larger screen of Imax. Epic movie! (Cineplex VIP, Yonge-Dundas, Toronto, Ontario) 20171010 - Barbican, Krakow
Touring historic sites in Krakow, noticing tight walkways and low headroom. Poland must have fewer lawyers, as simple warning signs of hazards suffice - Don Landing
Bike path route though underpass gives credit to PanAm Games funding. Event was last month, maybe the signs will come down when the Athlete's Village becomes a residential district. Short cut from Lakeshore Blvd around Corktown Commons towards Front Street still underdeveloped. (West Don Lands, Toronto) 20150909 - Eastern Iowa Airport, pier C
Non-coniferous trees in white and blue signify holiday season has arrived. Added to the hall of flags on the bridge from landside to airside C gates. Low stress airport with most traffic back and forth to Chicago O'Hare, so few distractions for passengers waiting to depart. (Cedar Rapids CID, Iowa) 20141213 - Mountain Pleasant Cemetery annual family ritual
Candles and incense early this year at gravesite, with sister visiting Toronto, to convene father, aunt and families. Planted flowers, but water not yet turned on by cemetery, as temperatures dipping below zero at night. (Toronto) 20140420 - County Line Bbq
Beef ribs, fatty beef brisket, half pound of pulled pork, as lunch for family of five. Order for 3 enough, would have been ridiculous to call for 5 plates. (Austin, Texas) 20141204 - Union Station
West wing #ArtworxTO @culture_to foreground #MADEYOULOOK (2022) non-monument programme Stories Edition, background #ShellieZhang (2020-2021) Facades. Brown pedestal is a cardboard shell reimagining memorials from colonial architecture. Double-sided illuminated electric sign boxes inspired by Saskatoon's Chinatown lack words or information, functioning more like tombstones. Observed passengers on the way to or from trains pausing to circle the installations, noticing their presence. (Union Station, Front Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20220414 - Smart Museum of Art
John Chamberlain 1963 "Untitled" painted automobile parts. Already on south side, small diversion for art on campus. Return drive northbound past Hyde Park mansions. (Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago, Illinois) 20170507 - Kellogg School Global Hub
Dean @SallyBlount update @KelloggSchool, first alumni reunion in Collaboration Hub atrium. Tiered steps up to second floor with former students having graduated 1 to 55 years ago. (Kellogg School Global Hub, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois) 20170506 - Salina, Iowa
Warm and dry May day scheduled for planting on the farm. We went to the field to learn about agriculture in practice. Terrain was rolling hills, so the six row planter was steered according to the way water will flow on the ground. Moving around a little dirt surfaced a green bean buried under a little soil. We're just tourists from the city. (Salina, Iowa) 20160506
