George E. Bemi

George E. Bemi is a Canadian architect who practiced in Ottawa, Canada from 1955 to 2005. During his prolific career, he contributed over 300 buildings to the National Capital area, including significant projects such as St. Basil’s Church, the Main Branch of the Ottawa Public Library, the downtown YM-YWCA, and the Ottawa Police Headquarters.〔(University of Carleton Archives, George Bemi ). Accessed 21 April 2010.〕 His buildings are primarily designed in a Modernist or Brutalist style of architecture, characterized by massive concrete forms, asymmetrical volumes, curtain wall, honest materiality, and a play between solids and voids.
==Early life==
Born into a low income family in 1926, Bemi grew up in a working-class neighborhood in the north end of Winnipeg, Canada. At the age of fifteen, he dropped out of school and took up odd jobs to help support his family. On the outbreak of WWII, he enlisted in the Navy at only seventeen and served as a stoker for two years. Although after returning from the war he had no plans to become an architect, he was rejected from the fire–fighting department because he was still too young to be accepted into the pension plan. He then approached the Department of Veteran affairs, an organization developed to help veterans re-integrate into society. Since, he had previously shown promise at drawing in school so it was suggested he become a draftsman.
The Department of Veteran Affairs offered a month-for-month education program in which war veterans were entitled to one month of free education for every month served in the war. Grants were provided for those who wished to continue onto university afterwards. Through this program, Bemi completed an accelerated high school diploma at the Ford Plant, one of the temporary schools set up to educate war veterans. He subsequently went on to study architecture at the University of Manitoba, graduating in 1951.
