On the Boards: Bianca Bodley & Andrew van Egmond at Design Victoria
VANCOUVER: On May 11th, the West Coast Modern League brings its popular “On the Boards” series to the second annual Design Victoria festival. Join us with Design Victoria at Victoria’s Gabriel Ross for On the Boards with Bianca Bodley of Biophilia Design Collective and landscape architect Andrew van Egmond who will talk about bespoke, natural landscapes, each presenting projects recently completed or currently underway. On the Boards is a speaker series showcasing the creative works of our local design talent, those who are carrying forward the fertile culture of creativity and experimentation on Canada’s west coast.
Working at a variety of project scales, Victoria-based Biophilia Design Collective, founded by Bianca Bodley, aims to design meaningful, resilient, and connected landscapes that enrich the lives of all users, cultivate moments of connection, create and nourish a sense of community, and support the ecological and cultural fabric within which they exist.
Known for his subtlety and minimalism, Saturna Island-based landscape architect Andrew van Egmond works on projects in Canada, The Netherlands, and internationally, drawing on the contrasts between landscape and architecture with the intention to allow the natural, intuitive beauty of the landscape the express itself and to enhance the connection with its surroundings by framing nature in a humble and minimalistic way.
