Founded in 1979, the Canadian Centre for Architecture is a museum, research centre, and a forum for exchange dedicated to the issues that shape the built environment.

The CCA is grounded in the conviction that architecture is a matter of public concern.

We explore the pressing questions of our time through the lens of architecture —from housing and heritage to law, justice, ecology, and public life.

We are launching a major campaign to ensure that the CCA remains a space where the world around us can be questioned and tomorrow's challenges anticipated.

Join us to create the conditions for thinking to unfold, for questions to remain open, and for ideas to engage with the world beyond our walls.

Discover our areas of action:

  • Ideas

    Extending our investigations beyond our walls and into new conversations

  • Collection

    Expanding access to the CCA Collection as a resource for thinking about the present and future

  • Youth

    Giving new generations the tools to understand and shape the environments they inhabit

  • Place

    Enhancing opportunities to meet, exchange, and participate

Your support helps:

Bring a film to new audiences, share publications, open new pathways into the Collection, and connect CCA research with new communities.

Digitize archives, add new materials to the Collection, support research projects, and make our resources easier to discover and use.

Create meaningful first encounters with architecture, support innovative programs, and give young people the time and space to explore their own questions.

Welcome community gatherings, foster new collaborations, enhance shared spaces, and bring news programs to life through tailored initiatives designed to meet the needs of community groups.
