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

Biography

Hemingway was born in Minster, Kent. 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. Hemingway won the Massey medal twice for his architecture projects.[2] He died on 15 May 1995.[1]

Projects

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.[3] He was also the architect of the Central Pentecostal Tabernacle in Central Edmonton which was demolished in 2007 despite attempts for it to be given protective status. In 1982 he served as President of the Alberta Association of Architects. He was a frequent contributor to professional publications.
