Documents in Canadian Architecture - Simmins, Geoffrey

Clean, tight, unmarked; name inside back cover; pages age tanned; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; a history of Canadian architecture through primary sources. Included are documents that address an impressive range of topics, from Native architecture and the Prairie town to architectural competitions and stylistic debates on such important movements as the Gothic Revival, Modernism, and Postmodernism. The book features texts by the key figures who brought Modernism to Canada, such as John Lyle and Ernest Cormier, and texts by contemporary Canadian architects such as Arthur Erickson, Douglas Cardinal, Ron Thom, Eberhard Zeidler, and Melvin Charney. Several French Canadian documents have been specially translated for this volume.
