由於新一代富有遠見的建築師，多倫多和溫哥華等城市終於開始體現其原住民的傳統。 “現在，我們正在回歸自然法則。這關乎如何利用世代相傳的風能和太陽能，而不僅僅是將其作為裝飾。這些都是代代相傳的經驗。”正是由於這種與生俱來的可持續性理念，原住民建築“不僅僅是曇花一現，它代表著未來，尤其是在北美。”

The exterior of the anchor building of Centennial College in Scarborough, Ontario is meant to evoke animal skin or fish scales.

‘Now We Have a Voice’: Indigenous Architects Redesign Canada

Thanks to a new generation of visionaries, cities like Toronto and Vancouver are finally beginning to reflect the legacies of their native people.

「現在我們擁有了發言權」：原住民建築師重塑加拿大

由於新一代富有遠見的建築師，多倫多和溫哥華等城市終於開始體現其原住民的傳統。

原住民的理念也影響景觀建築。「設計已經偏離了長期以來支配原住民文化的自然系統和法則，」多倫多SpruceLab的設計師Ashley MacDonald說。 SpruceLab是一家原住民擁有的規劃公司，成立於2020年。 “現在，我們正在回歸自然法則。這關乎如何利用世代相傳的風能和太陽能，而不僅僅是將其作為裝飾。這些都是代代相傳的經驗。”

Two Row Architects的Hickey先生表示，正是由於這種與生俱來的可持續性理念，原住民建築“不僅僅是曇花一現，它代表著未來，尤其是在北美。”

Thanks to a new generation of visionaries, cities like Toronto and Vancouver are finally beginning to reflect the legacies of their native people.

Indigenous principles are informing landscape architecture too. “Design has moved so far against natural systems and laws that have governed Indigenous cultures for a long time,” said Ashley MacDonald, a designer with Toronto-based SpruceLab, an Indigenous-owned planning firm founded in 2020. “Now, we’re coming back to those laws of nature. It’s about harnessing the power of wind and solar that have been used forever, instead of just decorative aspects. These are lessons taught for generations.”

Thanks in part to that inherent seed of sustainability, Indigenous architecture “isn’t just having a moment,” said Mr. Hickey, of Two Row Architects. “It’s the future, especially in North America.”
