1923 - 2022 | Architect, City Planning Expert, and Educator
As the first woman elected as an officer and as a fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and the first woman (and first Canadian) to serve as president of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel made a name for herself in the male-dominated fields of architecture and planning. In 1952 she and her husband co-founded van Ginkel Associates, where she contributed her bright and innovative ideas to numerous projects across the globe. As a professor at University of Toronto and McGill University she nurtured future generations of architects.
Lemco van Ginkel’s visionary approach and commitment to sustainable development contributed to the shaping of Toronto’s landscape for generations to come.
