The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada mourns the loss of Alexander (Alex) Temporale, FRAIC, a distinguished architect whose five-decade career left an indelible mark on heritage conservation and architectural practice across Ontario.

Named a Fellow of the RAIC in 2007—one of the profession's highest honours—Alex exemplified the values at the heart of our Institute: excellence in design, dedication to the built environment, and commitment to the communities we serve. His fellowship recognized not only his technical mastery but his profound understanding that architecture is fundamentally about stewardship of place and memory.
