Ottawa Architects 150 Website Launch http://ottawaarchitects150.ca/ Ottawa Architects 150 is a project to document the history of the practice of architecture ...in Ottawa from 1867 to 2017. It will be published in 2017 to mark Canada’s Sesquicentennial and recognize the contribution of local architects to the development of Canada’s capital city. The core of the project is the family tree of architectural practices dating back to Confederation. To date 513 architectural practices have been identified along with 574 principals/partners and 1291 buildings designed by those firms. A collection of 1144 photographs has been assembled. Despite this mass of information there remains a general lack of knowledge about practices from the 1950s to 1980s. We are calling upon architects and others with an interest to contribute their knowledge. An interim website has been set up to assist with the gathering and submission of information. It can be found at www.ottawaarchitects150.ca. The website will be converted to a permanent site containing the project’s information for the public at the conclusion of the project in 2017. You can also find many of the photographs on Flickr.

Ottawa Architects 150 is generously funded by the Ontario Association of Architects as a special project of the Ottawa Regional Society of Architects.
