Here is my 2016 story for the Edmonton Journal about Dyde House - to explain a bit more of its history and magic. https://edmontonjournal.com/business/real-estate/paula-simons-dyde-house-is-an-architectural-gem-with-a-fascinating-past-and-uncertain-future #Edmonton #yeg #UniversityofAlberta #DydeHouse #architecture #modernism #ParklandCounty #EdmontonJournal #yegheritage #yeghistory

Dyde House is a remarkable early work by Canadian modernist architect Arthur Erickson, hidden deep in the woods of the University of Alberta Botanic Gardens. I've been fascinated by it for years. Now I'm excited for the release of a new documentary about the building - in which I get to play a small part. Here's the trailer - to whet your appetite. https://vimeo.com/826372536 #architecture #ArthurErickson #UniversityofAlberta #Edmonton #ParklandCounty #yeg #DydeHouse #yegheritage #yeghistory
