Book description
The legacy of Canadian architecture grows out of the landscape, a landscape that is mythic in its scale and power. Up north, architecture rarely competes with the awe-inspiring forces of nature. It digs into the side of a hill or a mountain, or it rises up to match the temper of the land. In Canada, there is an unabashed intimacy between architecture and landscape.How do award-winning Canadian architects continue to distinguish themselves in the worlds hyper-market of design? By doing what theyve been doing since the 1940s: making meaningful, authentic sense of modernism. The award-winning architecture that Canadians are producing today is not a concoction brewed up to suit the globalized aesthetic of design. It belongs to a legacy of intelligence in architecture that began on the West Coast: human-scaled, finely crafted architecture that heightened the sense of place. Over the past several decades, the best Canadian architects have developed a modern design language that never abandoned a strong sense of place.Original analysis and insights are drawn from the authors extensive experience as the national architecture critic and her in-depth interviews with the gurus of Canadian architecture: Frank Gehry, Eberhard Zeidler, Raymond Moriyama, as well as the younger superstars such as Bruce Kuwabara, the Patkaus and Shim-Sutcliffe Architects.Foreword by Lise-Anne Couture, Asymptote Architects A Conversation with Frank Gehry 1.Canadian Architecture: A Manifesto Essay: Suburbia and the Big Box 2.The West Coast Modernists 3.Ecstasy and the Landscape Essay: The Structural Audacity of St. Marys Church / Douglas Cardinal 4.Leonard Cohen, Margaret Atwood, and the Big City Essay: The Evolution of the Frum House / Ron Thom and Shim-Sutcliffe Architects 5.Liberating Form from Concrete Essay: Arthur Erickson and Canadas Civil Society 6.Between the Earth and the Sky Essay: The Art of Architecture in Canada and Abroad / The Patkau Architects Notes Selected Bibliography Index Visit Lisas personal website at: http://www.lisarochon.com/
