Incursion unique dans l'univers de Phyllis Lambert, architecte canadienne de renom, militante urbaine, mécène et fondatrice du Centre Canadien d'Architecture (CCA) à Montréal. Citizen Lambert : Jeanne d'Architecture joue sur les polarités — la biographie et l'autobiographie, l'image publique et l'image privée, le regard extérieur et la sphère plus intime de l'introspection — pour brosser un portrait vivant d'une personnalité si souvent présentée sous le même jour dans la presse.
