Henry Sears (architect)

Henry Sears FRAIC RCA OAA (October 30, 1929 – March 19, 2003) was a Canadian modernist architect,[1][2] and an urban and gallery planner.

The geographic reach of Sears & Russell began to shift as well, taking on new clients in the United States and Europe.

[4] Using this approach, Sears designed Alexandra Park which, in the 1990s,[10] went on to become the first self-managed public housing initiative in Canadian history.

When the National Museum of Ireland was lacking display space, they called on Sears to lead the creation of a master plan for a new building on the Collins Barracks, Dublin grounds, along with the functional brief that would act as a guide to implement the change.

He found "The challenge was to incorporate the technically demanding requirements of a contemporary museum into the existing historic context appropriately and sensitively."

This resulted in new management with increased oversight from the Vancouver City Council, along with greater input from indigenous peoples.

[68] Sears created master plans for both the Sharon Temple in East Gwillimbury, Ontario,[69] and the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore.
