Encounter Educational Modernism explores in a productive way an iconic campus designed by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson in the late 1960s, in collaboration with the University of Lethbridge, Alberta. The university is renowned for its architectural vision, its direct relationship with the spectacular landscape, and its dynamic spatial conception of education as an expansive encounter. This interdisciplinary institution is designed as a city within a building, which also includes student housing. The campus stages public spaces for interaction, thereby activating the concept of the student as a global citizen in a new world order. This humanistic vision of the student from the 1960s shapes the spatial program of the architecture, a program that clashes with the current neoliberal view of the student as an entrepreneur. Encounter Educational Modernism, the third book in the series by Bitter and Weber on architecture and the education complex, is an artistic research project about the architecture of the University of Lethbridge and modernist notions of education. In addition to photographs and an introduction by the artists Bitter and Weber, it includes contributions from Victoria Baster, a professor at the University of Lethbridge, and Jeff Derksen, a poet and educator. The Educational Modernism series is published in collaboration with Camera Austria Graz.
