ArchitectureWeek Description This survey of architectural work in Canada over the past 10 years suggests a national sensibility unlike any other architectural trend in the world. Gruft argues that Canadian architecture is influenced by the country's geographically large, environmentally diverse physique, as well as its political and social heart. The 25 heavily illustrated projects include schools, art galleries, subway systems, power plants, and private houses that all relate to this Canadian architectural experience.
Also available Selected Architecture Posters and Prints
