Biography
Peter Douglas Rose is a recognized leader in the architectural design profession. Rose has received numerous awards for residential, institutional, and urban design projects since beginning his practice in nineteen seventy-eight. Peter Rose first received his bachelors of architecture in 1966 and a masters in architecture from Yale in 1970. In 1977, he completed, with James Righter and Peter Lanken, Pavilion Soixante-Dix, a ski pavilion in St. Sauveur. It was the only Canadian work published in Charles Jencks's “The Language of Postmodern Architecture” and with this he received a Progressive Architecture Design Award. These works expressed both reviving historical motifs and maintaining a theme of postmodern geometric form. Later he studied under Yale’s architectural historian Vincent Scully and Charles Moore; an American architect, educator, writer, fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and winner of the AIA Gold Medal in 1991. Afterwards he returned to Montréal going on to design a series of Post-Modern vacation houses in the eastern townships and Laurentian regions of Quebec. With these residential homes each design became programmatically demanding and intensely personal. In light of this Rose had a single client rule. With each project he focused on experimentation in the evolution of domestic architecture and how it might pay homage to the heritage of the site and its surroundings. Taking in local historic architectural influences is prominent in Rose’s designs. Rose has had long-term involvement in architectural education in addition to his practice. He was Adjunct Professor of Architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design from nineteen ninety-one to two thousand and ten, and has also taught at Princeton University, McGill University, and the University of Toronto.

Recent Works
As of late, Urban issues have drawn Rose's attention in design projects. In 1974, Rose founded the Alcan Lectures in Architecture, which brought distinguished international architects, architectural historians, and planners to the city in order to bring more architectural awareness. He has also done significant work in partnership with Peter Lanken in planning and preserving historic buildings in downtown Montréal. He has curated master plans for numerous urban developments, including Montréal's Old Port and a reconstruction project which integrated the historic Shaughnessy House located on 1920 Baile Street, designed by William T. Thomas in 1874, into a newly built architectural research center and museum, as well as one of London’s most beautiful and historic districts. The Glebe Project the Situated on a large site in Chelsea. The Montreal Symphony Orchestra is another one of his most prominent works with a permanent home and world-class concert hall, a building for the Conservatory of Music and Drama

Canadian Centre for Architecture
One of Roses most significant works is the Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal. The Canadian Center for Architecture is an architectural museum and study in Montréal including collections from Phyllis Lambert, its founder and first director. Spanning over one hundred and sixty thousand square feet, the Center includes exhibition galleries, a theater, bookstore, library and research center, curatorial and conservation facilities, and controlled archival storage for books, photographs, models, and works on paper. The newly restored 19th century mansion which existed on the site known as the Shaughnessy house also houses a café and administrative offices. The site which is surrounded by three thoroughfares and was once desecrated by urban decay, has now become a restored urban landscape beginning with the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

Completed in 1989, the CCA won Rose the National Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects and was the recipient of the Governor General's Award for Architecture in 1992. Along with the American Institute of Architects, BSA Honor Award for Residential Design, Bare Hill Residence Award, in Harvard, Massachusetts, the American Institute of Architects, BSA Interior Architecture and Design Awards, and the New England Honor Award for Design from the American Institute of Architects as of twenty-twenty.
