1970 – Manitoba Theatre Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Architect: Number Ten Architectural Group
The Manitoba Theatre Centre was designed in the Brutalist style by local architect Allan Waisman of Number Ten Architectural Group with input from the MTC artistic director Eddie Gilbert. With its exposed concrete sculptural form, an informal interior theatre space and a foyer originally conceived to balance large gatherings and smaller intimate groups in the same space, the Manitoba Theatre Centre is one of Canada’s most important small-scale Brutalist designs. The building has been designated a National Historic Site.
