Architecture paraphernalia from the past and present. Do you still have these items with you?

We are celebrating the School of Architecture's 50th Anniversary this year. As part of the celebration, we are putting up an exhibition to commemorate 50 years of architecture education.

We are currently collecting objects, drafting equipment, photographs, iconic books that we read and any other paraphernalia that you still might have with you for the 50th anniversary exhibition as well as for the book we are putting together. We would like to showcase your life as a student then.

The rarer the better! We believe that each one of us would have a unique memory of our architecture education. Please help us recall!

All items will be catalogued and tagged. Please let us know if we are able to keep them for our permanent 50th anniversary collection, if not we will return the items back to you after the exhibition.
