Canada Post Honours Moriyama

In May, Canada Post issued a commemorative stamp featuring the Ontario Science Centre, designed by architect Raymond Moriyama (BArch 1954) in 1969. The stamp was one of four issued to celebrate the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada’s 100th anniversary. Moriyama, one of Canada’s most respected architects, founded Moriyama & Teshima Architects in 1958, and was partner in charge of projects such as the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo and the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto.
