Summary:
Geoffrey James has stalked the parks and back streets of Canada's largest metropolis with his tripod and wide-angle panoramic camera, in search of the city's essence. Eschewing the obvious landmarks, he shows us pavilions on the lakeshore, billboards in Dundas Square, back lots in Kensington Market and many other exceptional views. His images are accompanied by a 4,000-word introducton from Mark Kingwell and extensive endnotes from city historians and experts. Through the lens of Geoffrey James, Toronto becomes a city freshly seen. In the words of renowned urbanist Ken Greenberg, "This project will have great value not only for Toronto, but should also say something new about ways of portraying and revealing cities."

Summary:
Philosopher and critic Kingwell wants us to see cities whole, as massive efforts to establish order and make all that we desire possible, in short, the culmination of civilization. Beginning with high praise for much-maligned concrete, Kingwell writes about architecture and the synergy of cities with intellectual and aesthetic rigor as well as a poet’s sensibility, always returning from the esoteric to the sensuous. Anecdotal and animated, Kingwell is particularly revelatory in his discussion of thresholds between public and private spaces, interiors and exteriors, and in his explication of the interplay of “consciousness, architecture, and politics” that shapes cities.

Summary:
Canada's foremost architectural office Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, founded in 1987 in Toronto, is one of most innovative architectural offices in North America today. They have made a name for themselves both for their integrated design process embodying collaboration with experts, clients and future users as well as the diversity of aesthetically refined and finely detailed designs. The work ranges from cultural institutions such as the Toronto International Film Festival and Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to ecologically innovative concepts such as Manitoba Hydro Place in Winnipeg. A respectful approach toward the integration of heritage buildings is also a characteristic feature, illustrated by the designs for the Royal Conservatory and the Gardiner Museum in Toronto. Finally, educational and research facilities are a strong focus in KPMB's work, exemplified by campus projects in in Waterloo, Toronto, and Montréal, as well as future projects for the MIT and Princeton.
