About the Speaker

Jane Mah Hutton is a landscape architect, and researcher, teaching at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. Her work focuses on the act of building – examining the movement of materials as they pass from production landscapes (plantations, quarries) through designed constructions (buildings, landscapes) through demolition or re-use. Recent books include Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements, Landscript 5: Material Culture-Assembling and Disassembling Landscapes, and Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial, co-edited with Daniel Ibanez and Kiel Moe. She is currently working on a project that traces the material diaspora of Southern Ontario and a film that explores a family archive of an Eurasian overland journey in the 1970s.
