Résumé:
This book documents the ideas and work of notable Canadian architect Barry Sampson, who was a professor of architecture at the University of Toronto for nearly thirty years and an instrumental part of the evolution of Baird Sampson Neuert, a significant critical practice in Toronto. The book investigates key ideas identified in Sampson’s 2019 Baird Lecture at the University of Toronto, documents three projects illustrative of Sampson’s approach to design, and collects reflections on Sampson’s diverse roles in architecture as a teacher, practitioner, advocate, environmentalist, mentor, client, and builder.

Résumé:
The second in a series of publications on mid-century architecture in the Buffalo Books series, this book commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery extension, a black modernist box, designed by Gordon Bunshaft, set adjacent to the original Neoclassical gallery. Bunshaft’s ideas were progressive in the post-war era and anticipated transformations finally emerging today. He once said “…the building industry, as a whole, not just the architectural aspects of it, is a slow moving device…but eventually we will have pre-fabricated, light constructed, rapidly constructed, clean buildings.”
