Summary:
This publication examines twelve architect-created houses designed between the 1940s and the 1980s for several distinct regions of Canada. The architects chosen number among the most prolific and best known in Canada who were working during this period, including Raymond T. Affleck, Raymond Moriyama, Arthur Erickson, Douglas Cardinal, John B. Parkin Associates, and Patkau Architects. Other architects with perhaps a more regional reputation have also been included, such as the Vancouver-based firm of McCarter & Nairne, Calgarys Jack Long, and Edmontons Peter Hemingway. Apart from the documentation of the twelve houses (drawings and photos), there are interpretative essays on each.

À partir des connaissances acquises par l’archéologie, l’ethno-histoire et l’ethnologie sur les sociétés amérindiennes, il replace d’abord Hochelaga au centre d’un vaste réseau fluvial s’étirant du lac Ontario au golfe du Saint-Laurent. Il dresse ensuite l’inventaire des ressources des Hochelaguiens et recrée minutieusement leur mode de vie, l’univers symbolique de la chasse, de l’agriculture. Enfin, il fait revivre l’imaginaire au sens d’une cosmovision : nature de la guerre, condition d’esclave, exercice de la sexualité et de la parenté, rapports hommes-femmes.

Summary:
As the number and distinctiveness of design directions in contemporary architecture expands, an outcome has emerged of a contradictory nature. While many of these directions hold great intrigue, a troubling aspect arises in that in their realization an 'incompleteness' is often exhibited, one expressing a less developed architectural richness often expressed in an under-utilized nature of the architectural language itself. Internal addresses this issue with a focus on topics that underly the creation of architectural languages. Concentrating on strategies and concepts that inform the creation of cohering architectural languages versus 'external' factors affecting design, such as those necessary to accommodate site or program, ''Internal'' focuses on design considerations incorporating the authority grounded in 'internal' language-based architectural issues. Identifying underlying themes and strategies necessary to create coherent and informed architectural languages constitutes the effort underlying this book.
