1989 – Canadian Center for Architecture, Montreal, Quebec
Architect: Peter Rose Architect
The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) is housed in a building made up of the historical Shaughnessy mansion, and a modern building which includes the museum entrance. Most of the rooms of the Shaughnessy mansion have been restored to their original 1874 state. It has vast collections of books and artifacts touching on all aspects of the built environment. The sculpture garden which lies across René Lévesque Boulevard offers a full scale ghost-like lower shell of the bottom part of the Shaughnessy mansion, and assorted modernistic sculptures or constructs which are developed around the theme of architecture.
