Architect Raymond Moriyama passed away, age 93. While he left a surpassing legacy of architecture, it is heartbreaking that he left us while the fate of one of his greatest works, The Ontario Science Center, is still up in the air. Above, Magical Imperfection (David Hoffert, 2020), a documentary on the late Raymond Moriyama. Magical Imperfection tells the inspirational story of world-renowned Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama. Moriyama’s acclaimed architectural achievements, including the Ontario Science Centre and the Canadian War Museum, draw upon his life experiences, including the trauma of wartime internment as a Japanese Canadian. Imprisoned in his own country during the 1940s because of his race, Ray found the strength to combat injustice by devoting his career to social justice and equality.
