In 2002, The Winnipeg Architecture Foundation (WAF) began a research project undertaking research on, and oral history interviews with, Winnipeg architects that practiced in the modernist period of 1945–1975. The research has now been expanded to include engineers, landscape architects, interior designers and construction firms. The research and interviewing, which is ongoing, provides a very interesting, and unique, perspective on the design and growth of Winnipeg in the modernist years.
