• Comment: Awards should be cited inline with independent sources. To be clear, the globe and mail cannot be used as a source for the fact that their employees won an award. Czarking0 (talk) 22:21, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: There are no sources for her education Czarking0 (talk) 22:18, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: "Rochon served as a board member on the Fort York Foundation" Unless there is a second independent source about her involvement then this is probably not notable Czarking0 (talk) 22:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: "One of her career highlights was working alongside Jacobs to lead the citizen lobby to try to stop the demolition of the Ontario Place revolving outdoor amphitheatre (1971) designed by Eberhard Zeidler." This is not encyclopedic language Czarking0 (talk) 21:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Lisa Rochon is a Canadian author, architecture critic, and a city builder.

Rochon worked for The Globe and Mail as a critic of architecture for over a decade.^[1] She defended and championed the cause of inspired, innovative architecture from Toronto to Mumbai^[2], Copenhagen^[3] and New York^[4]. She has contributed cultural commentary in English and French to CBC Radio and Radio Canada, organized conferences such as Revell Toronto Helsinki (2010)^[5] and contributed numerous essays and articles for books and journals such as Alphabet City (MIT Press)^[6], Canadian Architect, Architectural Record (NYC)^[7], and The Brick.

Rochon travelled across Canada to experience all of the buildings in her non-fiction book Up North, Where Canada's Architecture Meets the Land (Key Porter, 2005) that argues passionately for the significance and unique genius loci of modern Canadian architecture.^[8] She has delivered many public lectures about architecture, place vs placelessness and spoken about cities that inspire or oppress.^[9] One of her career highlights was working alongside Jacobs to lead the citizen lobby to try to stop the demolition of the Ontario Place revolving outdoor amphitheatre (1971) designed by Eberhard Zeidler.^[10] Another was travelling to Dhaka, Bangladesh during an unexpected state of emergency to experience the National Assembly by Louis Kahn wandering its monumental spaces during a power black-out.^[11]

Her debut book, Tuscan Daughter (Harper Collins), was released in 2021 to critical acclaim^[12] and was translated into Italian and Serbian.

Harper Collins signed Rochon for her forthcoming novel about a monumental theft, cruelty and love set in 20th-century Paris.^[13] It is set for publication in 2026.

Between 2016 and 2019, Rochon served as chair of the international architecture selection committee and design director for the Canadian Canoe Museum^[14].

In 2018, she joined the McEwen International Advisory Board for Canada’s newest school of architecture.^[15]

As design jury chair for the international competition, Winter Stations, Rochon helped to organize the temporary pop-up reinventions of the lifeguard stands along the eastern beaches from 2015 – 2018.^[16][17][18] Rochon served as a board member on the Fort York Foundation^[19], advocating for the 43-acre urban oasis and birthplace of Toronto. In response to Black Lives Matter and the cries among Indigenous people to be heard, she co-produced Red Embers, a series of 13 cedar gates featuring large banners by Indigenous women artists from across Turtle Island.^[20] In 2021, she co-produced major wall murals within the historic Leuty Boathouse in the eastern Beaches painted by the celebrated artists Chief Lady Bird and Jacquie Comrie.^[21]
