We are delighted to welcome Brian MacKay-Lyons, founding director of Canadian-based practice MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects.
Brian established his own practice in 1985, before partnering with Talbot Sweetapple in 2005. The practice has built an international reputation for design excellence confirmed by over 125 awards. Most notably the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Gold Medal in 2015. The work of the practice has also been recognised in over 330 publications including six monographs. Whilst the body of work of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects is known for its cultural responsiveness to local landscapes, climate and material culture, it also consistently possesses an archetypal quality which touches a global audience. 
As well as running a successful practice, Brian has been a professor at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia for over thirty years and has held chairs at numerous universities throughout the world. In addition to all of this, Brian was the founder of the highly publicised and widely acclaimed “Ghost” workshops. These were designed to promote the transfer of architectural knowledge through direct experience - project-based learning taught in the master builder tradition. Attendees and tutors of these workshops have included, Kenneth Frampton, Glenn Murcutt and Rick Joy.
