This document is a portfolio of selected architecture student works by Memry McGee, covering the years 2022 to 2026. It is intended for academic and professional audiences interested in Indigenous-led architectural design and cultural revitalization through built environments.
The portfolio begins with a personal background section, listing education at the McEwen School of Architecture, work experience at Smoke Architecture Inc. and Rama First Nation, and involvement in Indigenous student advocacy and youth councils.
A major project presented is the Shared Ground Centre, a mixed-use development in downtown Sudbury designed for Indigenous and immigrant families. The project uses food as a medium for cultural exchange and includes residential units, communal kitchens, gardens, and a public market.
