Summary:
"Substance over Spectacle" presents the best and brightest architectural work in Canada in the last ten years, providing a representative sample of Canadian architectural practice since the early nineties, and demonstrating a specific Canadian sensibility that is unlike any architectural trend elsewhere in the world. The book also explores issues of viability, sustainability, community, and utility as they relate to the Canadian architectural experience. Included is the work of twenty-five architects from every area of the country, each represented by an installation of their own design and construction. In addition to photographs of the finished projects, "Substance over Spectacle" also features images of models and architectural drawings, together with analytical/critical text demonstrating the architectural ideas embedded in the work. Five essays deal with different aspects of contemporary Canadian architecture, written by some of Canada’s leading thinkers on architecture: George Baird, Sherry McKay, Marco Polo, Georges Adamczyk, and Andrew Gruft. Publication of the book coincides with an exhibition of the same name mounted by the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia, in April 2005, during the international conference of the Society of Architectural Historians, which is taking place at UBC. "Substance over Spectacle", the first national critical overview of Canadian architecture in some eighteen years, offers fresh new perspectives on how our architecture defines us as we approach the first mid-decade of the new century.

Summary:
Canadian architect Fred Hollingsworth designed his first house in 1946. Since then he has created some of the most innovative homes of the twentieth century. Hollingsworth's home designs incorporate an open floor plan and a keen observance of the flow between the inside and outside environment. Using natural materials with an emphasis on texture and natural lighting, Hollingsworth is one of the few modernist architects who look wholly to organic form as the basis of their design aesthetic. "Living spaces" is a detailed monograph on Hollingsworth's career, revealing how he and a handful of visionary architects pioneered the acclaimed "West Coast Style" and helped establish modern ideals of structure and utility. Through full-page images, architectural plans, and text from the artist himself, this book follows an acclaimed architect from his early days to his most recent achievements that show his continued commitment to innovation.

Summary:
Aux quatre coins de la planète, le ministère des Affaires étrangères et du Commerce international (anciennement le ministère des Affaires extérieures) a fait construire de prestigieux édifices diplomatiques qui reflètent ses politiques internationales et la société canadienne. Ces ambassades témoignent des changements qui ont affecté le déroulement des relations internationales telles la peur reliée à la guerre froide, les lois successives concernant l’immigration et, plus récemment, la montée du terrorisme. L’analyse de leur planification, étroitement supervisée par le Canada et les pays d’accueil, permet de mettre au jour les processus complexes qui mènent à la construction d’édifices qui, sous des apparences souvent austères, sont des microcosmes de l’État canadien. L’ouvrage discute de cette présence architecturale outre-mer en tenant compte également de l’évolution des mouvements esthétiques en vigueur au vingtième siècle.
