NL Architecture Week kicks off this weekend with free events designed to make us more aware of how our built environment influences our communities. On Saturday morning there’ll be a Lego building design competition hosted by real architects with sessions for kids aged 5-7 and 8 and up. On Sunday there’ll be two walking tours of downtown St. John’s, one focusing on modern architecture and another looking at laneways of old St. John’s.
