Background
Myron's understanding that architects have a responsibility to build better cities one building at a time was formed during his years as an architecture student at Carleton University.
Myron's very first design competition entry (as a member of a four-person team) was awarded an Honorable Mention for a proposal to transform Manhattan's derelict Westside Highway in 1987. As a practicing architect, he seeks to thoroughly understand each commission's context, for now and far into the future.
Particularly in the case of "raw" sites, Mryon has sought to create anchor buildings that set the tone for subsequent development. Recent examples of this approach include the iconic North Division Police Station, and the new administrative and educational headquarters for St. John Ambulance, Edmonton, Alberta.
