Our Waterloo Architecture walking tour strolls through Uptown Waterloo to observe architecture that informs our daily lives, whether you realize or not. Did you know that King Street in Uptown Waterloo used to be a manufacturing district? Did you know that you can see FOUR buildings on ONE street corner that have received the Governor General’s Medal in Architecture?
We’ll look at and talk about the built city in its solid form, aka, buildings and their uses. We’ll read the city’s structures and styles to create a streetside timeline in the mind’s eye. We’ll discuss ‘places and precincts’ and consider buildings that no longer exist and others that hint at a former use.
Chances are you will learn some new architectural terms, spot buildings or details you’ve never noticed before and form some new opinions about the city space we encounter every day, but less often ponder.
Buildings come and go, architectural styles change and everyone has an opinion about it!
