A unique glimpse into the world of Phyllis Lambert, renowned Canadian architect, urban activist, patron and founder of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. The film is shown in honour of her 90th birthday in 2017 and her continued thoughtful advocacy.

Lambert is clearly a powerhouse in the area of architecture...the film is filled with testimonies from a number of architects singing her praises. Nicknamed Joan of Architecture, she was able to save a number of buildings and became an advocate for the value of maintaining history...For anyone interested in architecture or heritage preservation, this film is a must.Anyone studying the history of Montreal, would find this film a goldmine. - Frank Loreto, CM Magazine
