caption_attribution_description: The fountain of the Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere is believed to be the oldest fountain in Rome, originating in the 8th century. The present fountain is the work of Donato Bramante (1444 – 11 March 1514) and added onto by other architects. The original fountain was supplied with water by an aqueduct, the Aqua Traiana.
context_page_description: The School of Architecture is one of the professional schools of the University of Waterloo. It offers a professional program in architecture accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board at the master's level. It is part of the Faculty of Engineering and is located on a satellite campus in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Some of Canada's most prominent architects are graduates of the school.
  The school moved to a former factory building in Cambridge in September 2004, to provide more space for the school as well as to spur economic activity in the downtown area. It was designed by Levitt Goodman Architects.
context_section_description: Founded in 1979 by Rick Haldenby, the Rome Program is offered to all undergraduate students in the fall term of fourth year. The studio is located on one floor of a 16th-century palazzo located next to Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere. Since the foundation of the program the School has played an architectural role in Rome, involving Italian academics and practitioners, creating links with Italian and foreign institutions, and widely exhibiting and publishing the work of faculty and students. The Waterloo Rome Program shares an exchange program with the D'Annunzio University of Chieti–Pescara.
  In the Spring and Summer semesters, the same studio is utilized by Pratt Institute.
