$29 Attendees will have an incredible opportunity to go behind the scenes of the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Following an introduction to the institution, attendees will tour the grounds, including the Alcan Wing, Shaughnessy House historic building area, library, and receive an introduction to sculpture garden. Next, the tour will enter the vaults, viewing the archives and seeing how the collection is stored while not on display, as they have conversations with curatorial and archival staff members. There will be a guided tour of the conservation lab, led by Karen Potje and/or David Stevenson, followed by a tour of the Archaeology of the Digital exhibit. Attendees will then have time to explore the galleries on their own and see the grounds.
