As a practitioner, he has worked as the chief architect for the National Historic Sites program and has founded his own firm. Recently he acted as the Canadian delegate to UNESCO to advise the new international recommendations on Historic Urban Landscapes. As an educator, he is the founder and executive director of Willowbank School, specializing in heritage architecture. Willowbank takes a unique approach to education, with emphasis on both theoretical learning and hands-on craft skills. | | | free! | RSVP NOW » | | | | | | |
