Giovanna Borasi

Giovanna Borasi is an architect, editor, and curator. Borasi joined the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in 2005 as associate director of Programs and has held subsequent positions as curator of Contemporary Architecture (2011–13) and chief curator (2014–20) before becoming director and chief curator in 2020. In this role she oversees the CCA’s curatorial trajectories and processes of institutional revaluation. Borasi’s work explores ways of doing architecture that challenge the conventional definition of the architect and that lie at the heart of the dialectic between societal and architectural change. She regularly contributes to international architectural publications, workshops, university courses, committees, and symposia.
