Canada's construction news
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, designed by Antoine Predock who has passed away at age 87.
His projects would start with sketches and collages, a method that friends and colleagues say has helped to inspire younger generations of architects as they learn how to incorporate buildings into communities and create spaces that make visitors feel as though they are on a journey.He said during a 2018 interview with The Associated Press that his designs were choreographic.
Robert Gonzalez, dean of the University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning, met Predock while attending the University of Texas in Austin. While visiting the university, Predock challenged Gonzalez and his classmates to always think about the place they were designing for and the bigger picture, not just the facade of a building.
In nominating Predock for the American Institute of Architects’ award, then-committee chairman Thomas S. Howorth said: “Arguably, more than any American architect of any time, Antoine Predock has asserted a personal and place-inspired vision of architecture with such passion and conviction that his buildings have been universally embraced.”
Predock had a photocopy of the bill in his pocket – always ready to unfold it and strike up a conversation about the importance of Desmond and the museum project. “He leaves a monumental and personal stamp on our city and around the world,” Keller said. “We are forever thankful for him, and he will be deeply missed.”
