Please Enjoy.Įpisode 1: Chip Sullivan and Elizabeth BoultsĬhip Sullivan and Elizabeth Boults are the Landscape Architects who co-author the book “Illustrated History of Landscape Design”, which uses a combination of timelines and storyboards to visually narrate Landscape Architecture History. What you are about to hear is a conversation we had with Walker Mckinley before his Design Matters Lecture. This ongoing process has lead Mckinley Burkhart to the establishment of numerous entities within the firm - Black Chamber Think Tank, Little Sister Branding, Tableau Procurement, Mosquito Agency Art Consultancy, Fat Frames, and Tone Deaf, just to name a few. In reaction to this, McKinley Burkart has been seeking to develop a new model of practice, based less in hourly effort and a narrow understanding of the appropriate scope of the architect’s role, and more in the collaborative, multi-disciplinary mode of an intelligence agency. For most of the industry, this has led to a loss of influence and an inability to bring true value to projects. The traditional practice of architecture has increasingly separated into opposing models: the rarified world of the Starchitect, and at the other end the increasing commodification and specialization of the more common practitioner. With offices in both Calgary and Vancouver, the firm is globally known and have won numerous awards for their local and international designs. Along with Mark Burkhart, the firm has made a name for themselves with their designs in the public sector, including numerous restaurants, breweries, and other public spaces.

Walker Mckinley is a founding partner of the firm Mckinley Burkart.
