Summary:
For immigrants making the transoceanic journey from Europe or Asia to North America, the experience of a new country began when they disembarked. In Canada the federal government built a network of buildings that provided newcomers with shelter, services, and state support. "Immigration sheds" such as Pier 21 in Halifax – where ocean liners would dock and global migrants arrived and were processed – had many counterparts across the country: new arrivals were accommodated or incarcerated at reception halls, quarantine stations, and immigrant detention hospitals. For the Temporary Accommodation of Settlers reconstructs the experiences of people in these spaces – both immigrants and government agents – to pose a question at the heart of architectural thinking: how is meaning produced in the built environments that we encounter? David Monteyne interprets official governmental intentions and policy goals embodied by the architecture of immigration but foregrounds the unofficial, informal practices of people who negotiated these spaces to satisfy basic needs, ensure the safety of their families, learn about land and job opportunities, and ultimately arrive at their destinations. The extent of this Canadian network, which peaked in the early twentieth century at over sixty different sites, and the range of building types that comprised it are unique among immigrant-receiving nations in this period. In our era of pandemic quarantine and migrant detention facilities, ''For the temporary accommodation of settlers'' offers new ways of seeing and thinking about the historical processes of immigration, challenging readers to consider government architecture and the experience of migrants across global networks.

Summary:
Toronto has been called the Estonian capital abroad, because it is where the largest and most active community of Estonian immigrants was located. Revolutionary in its architecture and social aims, modernism’s post-war emergence was at odds with the cautious, evolutionary nature of Canadian culture. But in the context of growing internationalism, a large number of Estonians began to find success in private practice, influencing Toronto’s cultural landscape and new ideas in architectural discourse. The largely untold story of their remarkable impact on the city and their contribution to an emerging Canadian identity has driven the research presented in this volume.

“Does Your House Fit You?” In 1949, the Community Arts Council of Vancouver posed this question in their catalogue for the seminal ''Design for Living'' exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery, arguably marking the birth of Canada’s West Coast Modernist tradition in art and architecture. Seventy years later, many of these modernist homes have been demolished for redevelopment, and yet many more have been renovated and preserved, reminders of the spirit of invention, experimentation, and enlightenment that characterized their original design.

Summary:
Autrefois, les Canadiens, au sens originel du terme, ont été partout en Amérique. Ils l’ont nommée, habitée, chantée et écrite. Leurs traces subsistent toujours, même si la dimension continentale de leur civilisation a été oubliée par nombre d’entre eux. Aujourd’hui, avec la mondialisation, l’espace, la société et la politique se complexifient. La volonté indépendantiste du Québec est mise en veilleuse. L’Acadie n’est toujours pas une réalité politique. Les Franco-Américains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre n’ont pas de structure institutionnelle pour les encadrer. La place de la Louisiane s’amenuise. En même temps, le vecteur haïtien prend de l’importance au fur et à mesure que l’axe Port-au-Prince–Miami–New York–Montréal se constitue. Par ailleurs, les francophones des pays du Tiers Monde déferlent sur les grandes villes canadiennes et américaines. Les Francos d’Amérique – quel autre nom donner à cette famille si bigarrée ? – vivent de nouvelles réalités et font face à de nouveaux défis.
