The Reading Room

The exhibition marked a decade of publishing by The Site Magazine, framing ten years of print culture as an archaeological dig, sifting through layers of time, artifact, and storytelling to surface the fragments that shape our understanding of the built environment. Alongside a material archive drawn from ten issues of the magazine, the exhibition featured selected thesis research from graduates of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture, chosen for their capacity to tend to urgent questions on disappearing narratives, climate, and the the gaps of recorded history.
