The seminar conducted by Ainsley Johnston situated the Architecture 2 Gallery as a laboratory to collect, assemble and broadcast ideas on timely issues in design and planning. Students took on the multipronged role of researcher, editor, designer, curator, coordinator and storyteller, using the gallery space as a site to develop exhibition proposals. The seminar involved inputs from external guests specialising in exhibitions and publications from Basel, Berlin, Montreal and Winnipeg, and the group visits and studies museum-like environments across Manitoba.
