Synopsis

With an expanded final chapter on modern architecture, which includes more than a dozen new buildings, this concise edition of the award-winning two-volume "History of Canadian Architecture" presents a panorama of Canadian buildings as rich as it is vast, from the dwellings of pre-contact Native peoples and the first European settlers, to the revolutionary structures of the Modernist period and the renewed appreciation of the past that marks so much of the architecture created at the new millenium.
