With a particular interest in the house as an archetypal model of the world, whilst implementing the guiding idea that design belongs to everyone and that “modern has to be affordable”, the work of rzlbd occupies a unique position in its exploration of new ideas for contemporary infill dwellings. Along with architectural projects and writings, the book is also a record of Aliabadi’s search for a design language and his unique perspective coming out of his three major solo expeditions?to the North Pole, round the world in 49 days and the ‘Trans-Canada’, across the country from Atlantic to Pacific.

Summary:
One glimpse of the cascading steel beams mirrored in the reflecting pond and it's clear that the Hugo and Brigitte Eppich house is a singular achievement, a daring experiment that embodies Erickson's West Coast modernist ideas about site, material, and form. Erickson's first steel residence explores both the structural and aesthetic possibilities of the material, with curved beams, dyed cladding, and milled furnishings designed by Francisco Kripacz- features that would have been near-impossible on a regular commission. But after seeing the first Eppich House, built for Hugo's twin brother Helmut, Hugo entrusted Erickson with creating and furnishing the entire house, inside and out- another first for Erickson- and made available the Eppic brothers' steel fabricating plants, which built virtually every component of the home.

The architect explores boundary and illusion, and considers site and sightings in both the city and countryside to create houses that appear, disappear, and re-appear.

L’intérêt de ce livre est double, en ce que non seulement il permet de reconstituer la carrière de l’un de ses nombreux architectes invisibles qui ont tant contribué à notre architecture et à donner un visage propre à une région, mais aussi parce qu’il propose différentes voies d’interprétation de son travail dont le vocabulaire formel est en constante évolution. Un travail de terrain et d’archives, doublé d’attention et de passion, est à la base des interventions des différents chercheurs qui contribuent à cet ouvrage. Grâce à leurs efforts, le nom de Richer résonnera de nouveau dans le paysage architectural québécois.

The firms included in this edition, with a few exceptions, collectively represent the youngest firms in the four iterations of Twenty + Change.

The Ghost International Architectural Laboratory, better known as 'Ghost Lab' or 'Ghost', is the research laboratory of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects.

Summary:
Ron Thom came of age in the mid-20th century, just as the modern movement and an impending building boom were about to reshape the country. Talented in music and art as well as design, he rejected sleek austerity in favor of modern architecture that is warm, intimate, and beautiful. He worked from coast to coast, and his most renowned buildings-Massey College, Trent University, the Shaw Festival Theatre, and landmark houses-continue to inspire generations of architects, as well as the legions of people who work, study, visit, and live in them. In this new biography, Ron Thom emerges as a complex figure, gifted with creative genius but pursued by demons. More than just the life story of one man, this book is a portrait of the society that shaped him. His world included Jack Shadbolt, Arthur Erickson, the Massey family, Barbara and Murray Frum, and many other luminaries of 20th-century Canada.
