Michael (Mihkel) Bach was Estonian born, studied in Berlin before World War II, and while in Sweden in the late 1940s, met a professor from the University of Toronto, who encouraged him to come to Canada and join the faculty of modern architecture. He brought modernist ideas from Western Europe, and also encouraged other Estonian architects to come to Canada.
