Summary

Brian MacKay-Lyons is an architect in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His residential and public commissions around the world have earned him nearly 60 awards, including five Governor General's Medals. MacKay-Lyons is a man who resists the homogeneity of globalization; instead, the plain, modern architecture he's created reflects the rugged coastline and beautiful landscape of Nova Scotia. This new monograph profiles MacKay-Lyons and his work, presenting in-depth documentation of 13 buildings, including residential, commercial and institutional selections.
