The Arriscraft Lecture Series is back! This last year [2012-13] the Twenty-Fifth Annual Arriscraft Lecture Series – ARCHITECTURE OUTSIDE THE LINES – at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture investigated the edge of architecture, where architects, clients, planners, and other participants in the building world talked about work outside of the conventional boundaries of the architectural profession. Eight remarkable individuals engaging in new forms of architecture and new forms of architectural enterprise – all in the Greater Toronto Area – shared their experiences in the new...
Last weekend the 2A class was able to visit and experience one of the most exhilarating cities in the world: New York, New York (a city so nice, they had to name it twice).

Who doesn’t love food? Who doesn’t love FRESH food? Who doesn’t love LOCAL, FRESH food? Who doesn’t love DELICIOUS, LOCAL, FRESH food? No one, that’s who. Get your sleep-deprived butts out of bed on Wednesday and Saturday mornings for the best selection of fresh fruits & vegetables (hand-picked, some organic, come from a 100km radius of the market), farm fresh eggs, meats, cold cuts, cheeses, European breads, jellies, jams, honey, coffee, pastries, and those cute knitted slippers with the pom-poms....
If you ask me, the final days of Waterloo Architecture O-Week 2013 were just precious. SO MUCH LOVE! No seriously, the incoming first years showed so much enthusiasm, making them super fun to photograph. Bridge, meet a few of our newbies! (We dressed them up as architects… creative, right?) Q: Where are you from? Q: Why did you choose architecture? Q: What are you most looking forward...
I step out of Ossington station into the summer heat, in search of a magical place called Site3. “Just cross the street, turn into the back alley behind the church, and look for the big red door!” the internet tells me. I have to convince myself to trust the internet, at least just this once. Sure enough, I find the big red door. A smiling Bi-Ying Miao greets me, sporting some neon Hot Pop Factory...

I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with the amazing Timea Jakab, who is a Waterloo Architecture alumna and current adjunct professor at our school. We met in Toronto at University and Adelaide, over green tea and avocado-on-toast, where we discussed her current role as a member of the design committee in this year’s Stop’s Night Market. Timea is currently self-employed, giving her the flexibility she needs to take on an integral role...
