Exploring our Architectural Heritage
About This Project
Retrospective Vaughan was as a collaboration between two students and their Photography teacher at St. Jean de Brebeuf Catholic High School from 2017 to 2021.
Our inspiration was 2013's Apex Award winning project "Vaughan Retrospective" (click here to view).
Our goal was to create an online resource to nurture the local community's understanding and awareness of its built heritage. Architecture is a vital part of our collective visual culture ...
let's celebrate it!
