Arthur Erickson
Arthur Charles Erickson (June 14, 1924 – May 20, 2009) was a Canadian
architect and
urban planner. He studied at the
University of British Columbia and, in 1950, received his B.Arch. (Honours) from
McGill University. He is known as Canada's most influential architect and was the only Canadian architect to win the
American Institute of Architects AIA Gold Medal (in 1986, for the
Embassy of Canada, Washington, D.C.). When told of Erickson's award,
Philip Johnson said, "Arthur Erickson is by far the greatest architect in Canada, and he may be the greatest on this continent."
