3 unusual facts about James Strutt


James Strutt

Inspired by American architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Buckminster Fuller, James Strutt's designs fostered the modernist age in Canadian architecture.

His initial influences while at UoT were Frank Lloyd Wright and Buckminster Fuller; particularly Wright's material and environmental sensitivity, and Fuller's theories on weight efficiency ratios.

On a field trip to attend a lecture being given by Pier Luigi Nervi at North Carolina State University, Strutt took a side trip to visit the Eduardo Catalano House in Raleigh, NC and was very impressed by Catalano's modern statement.
