Architect, artist and art historian John Leroux takes a holistic view of his profession, seeing beyond buildings themselves into the cultural, intellectual and physical landscapes to which they contribute. Born in Fredericton, Leroux graduated from the McGill School of Architecture in 1994 and completed a Masters degree in Canadian Art History at Concordia University in 2002. Over the past two decades, he has worked at several award-winning architecture firms in Toronto, Atlanta and Fredericton. In 2012 he was a team member whose work was selected to represent Canada at the prestigious Venice Biennale in Architecture in Venice, Italy.
