Buildings│Cities│Life: Eb Zeidler’s Autobiography in Architecture

Sponsored by Avana Capital Corporation

A new two-volume, 1,635-page autobiography explores the life, architecture, and philosophy of Eberhard (Eb) Zeidler, from his early life and studies at the Bauhaus to the present—an exceptional career that established him as one of the world’s most influential architects.

Eb has worked all over the world, from England and Vancouver to Shanghai and Dubai. Closer to home, he designed iconic buildings such as the McMaster Health Sciences Centre, Ontario Place, and Toronto’s Eaton Centre. He is a proud Toronto city-builder and supporter of the arts.
