By founding the CCA, Phyllis Lambert made curiosity a civic act—one that asks us to look beyond buildings, to register social implications with all our senses, and to consider what it means to live well in cities: to argue for it and to help shape the conditions for it through government, community, and collective action.

In 2027, join us for #100Phyllis, a year of conversations connecting architecture to the pressing questions of our time. From housing and heritage to law, justice, ecology, and public life, the centennial program explores the forces that shape the world we inhabit—and the role each of us can play in shaping its future. We invite you to listen, play, reflect, question, find, tell, and share—at the CCA, online, and wherever curiosity may lead.
