Canadian Architectural Archives and published by Calgary : University of Calgary Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inventory of the collection of the Canadian Architectural Archives at the University of Calgary Library. In 1938, John Rule and Gordon Wynn established their firm, which eventually became one of the leading architectural practices in western Canada. John's brother, Peter Rule, joined the firm in the following year. With offices in both Edmonton and Calgary, the firm achieved some success in institutional commissions, such as schools and hospital renovations. After the war, Rule Wynn and Rule were commissioned to do the headquarters for the Greyhound Buslines Terminals in Calgary, Winnipeg, Lethbridge, Fort MacLeod, Kingsgate, B.C., and Edmonton. During the 1950s, the firm designed a number of significant office buildings in Calgary as well as the Rutherford Library at the University of Alberta and the Rialto Theatre, the Weston Bread factory and the AGT (Alberta Government Telephones) building in Edmonton. They also designed the original buildings for the Banff Centre. The holdings of the Canadian Architectural Archives focus on the architecture of twentieth-century Canada and the work of its outstanding architects.

Download or read book Our Voices written by Rebecca Kiddle and published by Oro Editions. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture is an exciting advance in the field of architecture offering multiple indigenous perspectives on architecture and design theory and practice. Indigenous authors from Aotearoa NZ, Canada, Australia, and the USA explore the making and keeping of places and spaces which are informed by indigenous values and identities. The lack of publications to date offering an indigenous lens on the field of architecture belies the rich expertise found in indigenous communities in all four countries. This expertise is made richer by the fact that this indigenous expertise combines both architecture and design professional practice, that for the most part is informed by Western thought and practice, with a frame of reference that roots this architecture in the indigenous places in which it sits.

Book Synopsis Cutler Anderson Architects by : Cutler Anderson Architects (Firm)
Download or read book Cutler Anderson Architects written by Cutler Anderson Architects (Firm) and published by . This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding in 1977, Cutler Anderson Architects has evolved to understand that the ultimate objective of any architectural design is to reveal what is true about all of the circumstances of a project. From place to program, from materials to shape, all components need to be understood and designed into a harmonious whole that reveals each component's nature. This genuinely rigorous task has been both the focus and the intellectual stimulant of our practice and, it is hoped, will continue to be our passion in the future. This single-minded attitude has led to successful and award winning projects on three continents. The firm's staff of fourteen is currently engaged in both residential and commercial projects throughout ten states, plus Poland and the Czech Republic. Our ultimate goal on every project is to produce projects that are not only beautiful but also emotionally enlightening.

Download or read book Canada written by Michelangelo Sabatino and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is a country of massive size, of diverse geographical features and an equally diverse population—all features that are magnificently reflected in its architecture. In this book, Rhodri Windsor Liscombe and Michelangelo Sabatino offer a richly informative history of Canadian architecture that celebrates and explores the country’s many contributions to the spread of architectural modernity in the Americas. A distinct Canadian design attitude coalesced during the twentieth century, one informed by a liberal, hybrid, and pragmatic mindset intent less upon the dogma of architectural language and more on thinking about the formation of inclusive spaces and places. Taking a fresh perspective on design production, they map the unfolding of architectural modernity across the country, from the completion of the transcontinental railway in the late 1880s through to the present. Along the way they discuss architecture within the broader contexts of political, industrial, and sociocultural evolution; the urban-suburban expansion; and new building technologies. Examining the works of architects and firms such as ARCOP, Eric Arthur, Ernest Cormier, Brigitte Shim, and Howard Sutcliffe, this book brings Canadian architecture chronologically and thematically to life.

Book Synopsis Art Deco Architecture Across Canada by : Tim Morawetz
Download or read book Art Deco Architecture Across Canada written by Tim Morawetz and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This 320-page hardcover book showcases some 150 Art Deco-style buildings located in big cities and small towns across Canada. More than simply a compilation of contemporary colour photographs and selected period images with informative captions, the book paints a picture of what life was like in Canada from the late 1920s to the early 1950s. The 'storytelling' aspect of this book means describes the exploits of such legendary entrepreneurs as cookie-maker William Mellis Christie, grocery merchant Theodore Pringle Loblaw, and media magnate Roy Thomson. The book explains, for example, the way Ireland's Guinness family shaped the skyline of Vancouver, how the T. Eaton Company elevated the experience of shopping, and the influence of federal, provincial and municipal politicians on the appearance of Canada's public-sector buildings. And the book reveals the rich history of some of the country's landmark sports and entertainment venues. The buildings are arranged in six 'themed' chapters with various subsections, organized around different aspects of daily life between the World Wars."--
