SUMMARY:Designing Places for People to Meet
DESCRIPTION:A Lecture by Japanese Architect Manabu Chiba\nCo-organized by The Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism at Carleton University\, The Japan Foundation\, Toronto\, and The Centre for Canadian Architecture\n \nCelebrated Japanese architect Manabu Chiba’s vision encompasses projects of all scales\, from huge public buildings to small private homes. What links his diverse designs is the idea of spaces as “meeting places” designed to facilitate interaction between people. \nIn his first public talk in Toronto\, Manabu Chiba will explain his approach to the design of public buildings and housing\, with an emphasis on creating void spaces within cities to facilitate place-to-place and person-to-person relationships. He will focus on the professional practice of architecture\, and on the ways in which civic buildings are both designed and used throughout Japan with reference to some of his most admired projects including the Japan Guide Dog Center (2006)\, Otaki Town Hall (2012)\, Kogakuin University (2012)\,  and the Tsuruga Multipurpose Centre (2014). \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBiography \nManabu Chiba is the founding principal of Chiba Manabu Architects in Tokyo. The firm  builds projects ranging in size from government offices and residential complexes\, to schools and private homes. He has received several major accolades\, including the Award of Merit in the 2013 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards. Mr. Chiba teaches in the Department of Architecture at the University of Tokyo\, from which he holds both a Bachelor and Master of Architecture. His firm’s work has been published in Manabu Chiba (Equal Books\, 2014) and Rule of the Site (Toto\, 2006). \n  \n  \n  \n   \nImage: Kogakuin University 125th Memorial Education Center

SUMMARY:Chūshingura & the Edo Literary Imagination
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Prof. William Fleming\nOrganized by The Japan Foundation\, Toronto with support from The Asian Institute at The Munk School of Global Affairs\, University of Toronto \nIn the spring of 1701\, a daimyō from western Japan drew his sword against a senior shogunal official within the hallowed halls of Edo Castle. This rash\, split-second decision set in motion a dramatic chain of events that is retold in a theatrical masterpiece that remains one of Japan’s most captivating and enduring cultural markers: Chūshingura\, the story of the forty-seven rōnin. \nChūshingura enjoyed immediate success on stage and quickly captured the Japanese popular imagination\,  inspiring all manner of imitators\, adaptations\, and parodies. This talk introduces several works of comic pictorial fiction based on the Chūshingura story and considers their significance as products of the flourishing literary culture of early modern Japan. \n\nAdditional dates:\nWinnipeg\nWednesday\, February 24\, 6:30 pm\nUniversity College 237\, University of Manitoba\nInformation: Asian Studies Centre  (204) 474-7047\nco-sponsored by the University of Manitoba Asian Studies Centre \nCalgary\nThursday\, February 25\, 4:00 – 5:30 pm\nICT 122\,  University of Calgary\nInformation: https://llc.ucalgary.ca/event/2016-02-25/chushingura-edo-literary-imagination\nco-sponsored by the Department of Linguistics\, Languages and Cultures\, University of Calgary \n  \n  \n\n  \nAbout the speaker: \nWilliam Fleming is an Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages & Literatures & Theater Studies at Yale University. His research focuses on 18th- and 19th-century Japanese fiction and the popular stage. He completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at Harvard University\, and was a visiting researcher at Kyoto University and Tokyo’s National Institute of Japanese Literature. \n  \n  \n  \n \n \n  \nImage: Ichieisai Yoshitsuya (1822-1866) Night Attack of the Faithful Samurai/ 義士夜討図 (1857)
