Peter Hemingway

Peter George Hemingway (1929 – May 15, 1995) was a British architect who practiced mainly in Canada and designed many public works, including the Muttart Conservatory and the Central Pentecostal Tabernacle.

After gaining a diploma from Rochester Technical College, he immigrated to Canada in 1955.

Serving briefly in the Alberta Department of Public Works, Hemingway founded his own practice in 1956.

[1] Hemingway designed and was awarded the Massey Medal for the Stanley Engineering Building (1968) and the Peter Hemingway Fitness and Leisure Centre (1968-1970), which was formerly known as Coronation Pool and renamed after the architect in 2007.

However, his most well-known and recognizable building is probably the Muttart Conservatory, a group of pyramid-shaped greenhouses in the Edmonton river valley.
