Innate Terrain

Innate Terrain was a national symposium and exhibition on the exemplary work and ideas of established and emerging Canadian landscape architects. Speakers were invited to present their Canadian projects from the years 2000 to 2010, and to discuss a Canadian specific trajectory. The symposium and exhibition aimed to locate Canadian landscape architects in North American and international contexts, thereby relaying a distinct approach practiced by Canadian landscape architects.
