Events - 2016

Contemporary Questions is a discussion series focusing on important issues that divide us today. Each session will allow 3-4 faculty members to address an urgent topic for architectural research and design in relation to their own work and other contemporary examples. Each discussion will begin with a five minute opening presentation with five slides, followed by a moderated discussion and questions from the audience. The topics are structured dialectically around provocative issues in the hope that this will elicit constructive dialogue.

The School of Architecture invites all interested students, along with their parents and friends to join us in Cambridge on Saturday, November 5th from 10 am to 4 pm. This is a great opportunity to visit the Architecture campus, speak to professors and current students, tour the facilities, see demonstrations and displays of student work, portfolios and attend a program information session.

The Physics of Culture

Come to "Stop and Talk", a chance to chat with President Feridun Hamdullahpur in the Great Hall of the Student Life Centre (SLC). There's no agenda or formal remarks, just a chance to connect and talk about how your term is going and anything else that's on your mind.

Nuit Blanche Toronto is a free, annual, city-wide celebration of contemporary art, produced by the City of Toronto in collaboration with Toronto’s arts community.

For one sleepless night, from sunset to sunrise, the familiar is discarded and Toronto is transformed into an artistic playground for a series of exhilarating contemporary art experiences in unexpected public spaces.

This year, as in past, there will be several works on exhibit created by members of the Waterloo Architecture community. Please join us in Toronto to support the work of our students and faculty!
