Description:

“My own use of the camera began in 1954 as I started to think about what a new building in New York – the Seagram building – could be. While in Rome during Easter, through the lens of a camera I had hardly used, I began to observe the quality of buildings: how they sat on the land, their articulation, and how architectural details related to a building as a whole.”Phyllis Lambert (*1927) is an architect, author, photographer, conservation activist and a critic of architecture and urbanism. She is the Founding Director Emeritus of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), which she established in 1979 as an international research center and museum premised on the belief that architecture is a public concern. Lambert received numerous awards and honors, including the Gold Medal from the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada in 1991, the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement from the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2014, and the Ada Louise Huxtable Prize for Contribution to Architecture in 2023.
