History
Irving Boigon was born in Toronto in 1924. He attended Central Technical School before serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1943-1945. Boigon graduated from the University of Toronto’s School of Architecture in 1951. Throughout his career, he practiced alone and in a number of partnerships. At age 67, Boigon merged his practice with the Petroff Partnership to form Boigon Petroff Shepherd, Architects Inc. In the 1960s Boigon’s firm was involved with ground-breaking public housing commissions, such as the Robert J. Smith Apartments for Metropolitan Toronto. He continued this type of work during the 1980s with the 25 Elm Street project, and into the 1990s with Cityhome’s Jarvis/George project..
