Masterworks 2023 Exhibition

The University of Waterloo School of Architecture and Diamond Schmitt present Masterworks 2023, an annual showcase of exemplary graduate student thesis projects. This year’s exhibition is curated by alum Kurt Kraler around the themes explored in his graduate thesis “The Generic Spectacle” and his recently released book “The Signs That Define Toronto”, published by ERA Architects and Spacing.

Masterworks 2023 is entitled “Finding Meaning in Architectures of Exchange” and features the work of four MArch graduates. Including, David Ogbe’s design for a renewed Temple of Afrobeats in Nigeria, Weeney Lin’s exploration of the evolution of Chinatowns. Moreover, Emilie O’Neill’s design for Vancouver’s sex worker population, and Kelsey Malott’s revitalization of Los Angeles’ historic Sunset Strip. Each project thoughtfully documents, analyzes, and responds to an existing community. Since signage is a reflection of the community it advertises to. It can be one of many cultural artifacts that architects can document and observe during the design process. The various communities that each project explores not only focus on the exchange of goods and services but the exchange of culture, music, and knowledge.

Come explore how each thesis project engages with existing communities and proposes a meaningful architectural expression.
