Gaboury, Etienne-Joseph
(b Bruxelles, Manitoba, 24 April 1930). Canadian architect. He was educated at St Boniface College (BA, 1953) and the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg (BArch, 1958). He won a French government scholarship to attend the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1958–9). Following an apprenticeship in Winnipeg, he entered into partnership with Denis Lussier (1938–75) and S. F. J. Sigurdson (b 1935). From 1976 he was principal of Gaboury Associates Incorporated. Gaboury was strongly influenced by the later work of Le Corbusier, in particular the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp with its mystical light-filled interior and sense of immeasurable space. His work always reflected a deep concern and a personal search for the regional influences on architecture as manifested by the landscape, climate and the vivid quality of the Canadian prairie sunlight.
