Ghost Lab, on the farm of Brian MacKay‐Lyons on the Nova Scotian coast
of Canada, has been the research laboratory for MacKay‐Lyons Sweetapple
Architects since 1994. It has been a meeting place for an international
'school' of architects who share a commitment to: landscape, making, and
community. From June 14th – 17th, 2011, 24 members of this virtual
school will congregate on the Ghost site as Speakers for a Conference on
the theme of 'Ideas in Things'.These
Architects operate within the master builder tradition and insist on
the unity of our discipline, which embraces both the academy and
practice, or the mind and the hand. Through a commitment to place, we
represent a resistance to the numbing effects of a globalized culture.Join
us for what promises to be an historic event at the edge of the world. A
book and a film will document the Conference. Participation is limited
to 200 registrants. We are approved for core continuing education
credits in Canada and the US. See the agenda for those courses already
accepted, with more to follow.
