Brian Rudy

Principal
B.E.S., B.Arch., OAA, MRAIC

Brian joined Moriyama & Teshima in 2001, becoming an Associate in 2004 and a Principal in 2012. His special focus at M&T is cultural projects such as museum and galleries, but has worked on performing arts centres, university buildings, schools, corporate headquarters, master plans and feasibility studies. Brian was Project Architect for numerous award-winning projects, including the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Waterloo Region Museum, and Niagara Falls History Museum.

In addition to being a talented design architect, Brian is a natural and highly respected manager, leader and motivator. Leading with humility, integrity and quiet determination that garners ready respect and admiration from colleagues, consultants and clients alike, Brian has demonstrated his effective leadership on many successful and high profile M&T projects including Toronto French School, Queenston Plaza Redevelopment, Havergal College Archives, Saint Marie Among the Hurons Visitor Centre, as well as design competition finalist submissions for the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton and the Palestinian Museum in West Bank.

Brian is also an award-winning composer and performer, his music having been heard on several film soundtracks, and on CBC radio across Canada. His compositions are very "architectural" in style - complex, multi-layered arrangements, with deep emotional impact. Brian is the go-to composer for many of M&T's fly-through animations.
