What do Ottawa’s buildings and spaces mean to you? Which ones move you, make you smile, fill you with wonder or just make you glad you live here? Which ones drive you crazy or annoy you? What stories do these places hold for you?

Architectural historians Andrew Waldron and Peter Coffman – author and photographer, respectively, of the popular new guidebook Exploring the Capital: An Architectural Guide to the Ottawa Gatineau Region – will lead us through an evening of storytelling about Ottawa’s buildings and places. They will share some of the stories they’ve uncovered while researching, using and relishing the architecture of this city – then they will ask the audience to do the same. So bring your memories, your experiences and your passion for Ottawa’s architecture, and share in this celebration of Ottawa’s places and stories.

About CU in the City:

The aim of CU in the City is to share FASS research with the wider community by holding research talks in various Canadian cities.
