Indigenous Architects Prepare to Bring Their Work to the World Stage

“A team of Indigenous architects from across the country is getting ready to represent Canada in a prestigious international architecture competition. 

Led by renowned architect Douglas Cardinal, the exhibit called Unceded: Voices of the Land will showcase Indigenous architecture at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale from May to November.

David Fortin, the newly-named director of the McEwen School of Architecture at Laurentian University, is curating the project along with Gerald McMaster from OCAD University.

"We're going to show Europe and the global architectural world that the Indigenous voice is strong in architecture," said Fortin, who's Métis and is the first Indigenous director of a Canadian architecture school.”
