UofT SCS Course: Inside Toronto's Architectural Treasures
About this course
Many of Toronto’s significant buildings have amazing interiors that are usually closed to the public. In this course, we’ll go inside to discover beautifully crafted wood, plaster and stone ornament while learning about interior architectural elements and the layout of spaces.
