Architecture for Humanity Vancouver presents the LivingDensity Exhibition & Forum, an exploration on how humanity, sociability and density may be achieved through innovations in the interlinked disciplines of architecture, urban planning, industrial design and communication design.

LivingDensity is a response to the City of Vancouver’s EcoDensity Charter, a commitment to make environmental sustainability, housing affordability and livability a primary goal in all city planning decisions. LivingDensity seeks to address how urban densification can promote better communities, sustainability, as well as culturally stimulating experiences.
