The Canadian Museum of Architecture explores architecture as a discipline – how it came about, its practise and the way it shapes our culture.
Though most of our daily existence is spent in an environment wrought by architecture, little thought is generally given to the effect this process has on society and the landscape. An understanding of the role of architecture is essential for effective decision making in an increasingly complex world.
The Museum is currently developing its exhibits and programs to provide a platform that explains architecture to a general audience and fosters the prudent use of our resources. The management of our development activities and control of its consequences to our planet is a responsibility we all share.
