2012 BUILT JURY:
Brian MacKay-Lyons, Hon. FAIA
, was born and raised in Arcadia, Nova Scotia. Since 1985 Brian's practice-based research has built an international reputation for design excellence, confirmed by 67 awards, including five Governor General's Medals, six Canadian Architect Awards, Architectural Record House Awards, and an AIA Honor Award. His work has been published in 164 books, journals, and monographs including The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture, American Houses for the New Century, The History of Canadian Architecture, Encyclopedia of 20th Century World Architecture, Brian MacKay-Lyons: Selected Works 1986-1997, Wallpaper, The Architectural Review, Architectural Record, and Architecture. Plain Modern: The Architecture of Brian MacKay-Lyons, written by historian Malcolm Quantrill, was published by Princeton Architectural Press in 2005. This work has been the subject of 74 exhibitions, including "10 Shades of Green" by the Architectural League of New York.
In addition to his 24 years as a Dalhousie professor, Brian has held visiting professorships at universities in the USA, Canada and Germany. Each July Brian offers the 'Ghost' international internship on his farm. This design-build workshop involving professors, students, and architects functions as a research laboratory. Brian contributes to the architectural community through participation on professional design juries, including the National Capital Commission in Ottawa since 1996.
While Brian's house designs have made him a leading proponent of critical regionalist architecture worldwide, his practice,
MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects, is in transition. A new office in Halifax's north end, where the firm has been engaged for two decades, now facilitates larger, public, and international commissions, including a new Canadian High Commission in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

After working on his own for several years, he teamed up with Isaac Broid and Miquel Adria to establish adria+broid+rojkind (1998-2002) and finally he established the firm rojkind arquitectos(2002).
