Featuring Douglas Cardinal – courtesy of Calgary University

On the eve of the anniversary of Rudolf Steiner’s birth, we’d like to share with you a story and an interview conducted recently at the University of Calgary, featuring Canadian architect Douglas Cardinal. Mr. Cardinal, considered to be Canada’s most important and celebrated Indigenous architect, cites Dr. Steiner, his work and his philosophies, as one the earliest influences in his career. He also refers to his experiences at the University of Texas at Austin’s School of Architecture (and the education he received, and teachings on Steiner there) as being key to his own beliefs and philosophies on the possibilities of design.
