Alfred Waugh and Formline Architecture + Urbanism have been featured in a recent Globe and Mail article, “Indigenous Architects Design Spaces for All”. The article highlights the growing recognition of Indigenous architects and their vital role in shaping spaces that foster inclusivity, reconciliation, and cultural understanding.

The feature explores projects across Canada, including a thoughtfully designed meeting room in a downtown Toronto bank tower and Saskatoon’s upcoming $134-million public library. These examples reflect a broader movement to engage Indigenous architects in creating spaces that reflect Indigenous values while welcoming people of all backgrounds.

Alfred is quoted, “We want to understand the significance of that place where the building is located. We are trying to create a place that everyone has some way of connecting to so that it feels like the living room of your city.”

The inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in architecture is a meaningful step toward creating environments that honor the land and the communities they serve. We are proud to be part of this important movement and grateful to The Globe and Mail for highlighting this work.
