W is for Winnipeg
A Little Architect's ABC
by
Rae St. Clair Bridgman
What if you were an owl? What would you see in the city? Winnipeg’s skyline offers a window into a playful world of contemporary and historic architecture across the seasons, all while learning your ABCs and XYZs. Learn about Winnipeg’s hidden and not-so-hidden architectural gems. This is more than just an alphabet book. It’s an ABC book + picture book + little readers’ book, all rolled into one. Everyone who loves their city (or is visiting the city) and wants to explore its secrets from an owl’s eye view . . . somewhere between what is real and a dream—this book is for you. Here’s to our up-and-coming young architects, urban designers, landscape architects, interior designers, engineers, planners, urbanists—city builders, all!
"W is for Winnipeg nurtures an appreciation for architecture, urban design, and urban wildlife. Whether for a young reader, a lifelong Winnipegger, or a visitor discovering the city, this beautifully crafted book offers a fresh perspective on the city’s architectural wonders along with strong encouragement to go owling. Just like owls can be a great phantom, architectural details can escape the casual observer. While learning their ABCs, the next gen of city-builders will learn to look." —Hazel Borys
