The Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design announced that the 2020-21 Frank Gehry International Visiting Chair in Architectural Design is renowned Canadian architect Douglas Cardinal, OC, FRAIC. Cardinal is known both for his striking designs and for his advocacy for the rights and dignity of Indigenous peoples.

"The vicissitudes of Douglas Cardinal’s life are one of those larger-than-life tales — from the nurture of home, to the trauma of residential schools, and then perseverance and a precocious commitment to architecture and the evolution of a unique idiom of design," says associate professor Robert Levit in a statement.
