Brian Allsopp Architect LTD.

EDMONTON, AB, CA • 20 - 49 Employees
Architecture Firm/Engineering Firm

Our practice is committed to architecture as a fine art. Using the highest standards of professionalism, we strive to produce significant and lasting works of art. I am fascinated by creativity, by the spiritual, mental and physical energy required to do the work of an architect. I am pursued by the idea of mathematical order, but desperately dream the most romantic of shapes. I seek simultaneously both the most rational and arbitrary of architectural forms. I believe in looking, listening and drawing as sources of creativity. I believe that the most mechanical of drafting and the most freehand of sketching help our understanding of buildings. I believe in walking sites, listening to people and drawing all the time. I believe in the need to visualize, to develop the meditative state necessary to see the project before it is built. I am committed to an appropriate and authentic Canadian architecture and urbanism, born not of nationalism but of the sheer power and possibilities of our kind.
