Canadian Centre For Architecture (CCA)

Founded in 1979 by the visionary Phyllis Lambert and today directed by Giovanna Borasi, the Canadian Centre for Architecture is far more than a museum — it is one of the world’s leading international research institutions, built on a profound and unwavering belief that architecture is, at its very heart, a public concern that belongs to all of us.

Through a richly diverse programme of exhibitions, publications, and public activities, the CCA invites architects, thinkers, collaborators, and curious minds from every walk of life to engage with one of the most compelling questions of our time — how does architecture shape the world we live in, and how might it help reshape the world we are building? Its remarkable collection is developed and shared as a living resource, fuelling research, sparking dialogue, and giving fresh and urgent relevance to architectural thinking in the context of today’s most pressing cultural and disciplinary challenges.

A place where ideas about space, design, and human life are explored with rigour, openness, and genuine passion.
