University of Waterloo Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business
1 sound
Located at 125 St. Patrick St, Stratford, ON, the Stratford School of Interaction is housed in a historic building that blends classic architectural features with modern educational spaces. Its brick façade, large windows, and detailed masonry create a distinctive presence on the street, while inside, the acoustics reflect a mix of open classrooms, corridors, and communal areas. For the soundwalk workshop, this building offers interesting opportunities to explore how architectural elements shape sound—how footsteps echo in hallways, how voices carry in open spaces, and how ambient street noise filters through the windows. Participants can use these observations to consider the relationship between space, sound, and human activity within an interactive learning environment.
