Abel Joseph (Jack) Diamond, principal at the Toronto-based Diamond Schmitt and one of the most significant Canadian architects of his generation, died on October 30, 2022. He was one week shy of his 90th birthday.
Born in South Africa—where he established his first architectural practice—Diamond studied architecture at the University of Cape Town, and politics, philosophy, and economics at Oxford University. In 1965, after teaching at the University of Pennsylvania and working with Louis Kahn, Diamond inaugurated the Master of Architecture program at the University of Toronto. From that time Toronto became his home.
