Local Discoveries

When thinking about architecture and the city we often overlook the seemingly ordinary neighbourhoods and public buildings that make up our local environment. This year Open House is putting special emphasis on celebrating the hidden gems that lie round the corner — that clock tower you’ve never been up, the park that was a lifeline during lockdown. The school with the interesting roof you walk past every day but have never visited. As many re-discover the city, we would like to offer tours, film screenings and more to highlight the beauty of our local communities.
