Dear Parents,

On Tuesday, September 20th, our class will be visiting our site for our Architecture Goes to School project. During this time we will have a guided tour by our architect mentors, Roger Mitchell and Chang Sun to critically examine a few buildings in the Downtown area, and appreciate some of the unique architecture that we have in Regina.

We will be leaving the school at 10:10 and talking a bus. The students will be viewing a few well known buildings, like Hotel Sask, the Globe Theatre, City Hall and Knox Metropolitan church. We will also be taking pictures of “the site” for our project, as well as, touring the Kreate Architecture Office. The site location is roughly the size of a few blocks; therefore, we will be primarily staying close to the Architecture office on Dewdney and Lorne Street and will not tour the whole “project site” area. The primary objective of the tour is to give students an opportunity to critically examine some of the architecture of Regina, as well as a sense of the space and surroundings that they will be developing.

Students are only required to bring a clipboard, pencil, pen, digital camera (if they have one available with parent permission), BAGGED LUNCH and a water bottle. We will return to Deshaye shortly after 3:00.

If you are interested in the tour and are available, please feel free to join us! If you have any questions, please contact the school at 791-7270.

Please view information about the project. You can check out the time table and student activities by visiting my blog at… www.stewiessmartthoughts.blogspot.com See the “Architecture Goes to School” page.
