Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
This book considers the contemporary house through close scrutiny of works designed by Ian MacDonald, and the ideas that are embedded within them. 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. Energetic explorations of land and considerations of weather provide the basis for MacDonald's designs of residential spaces that capture particular views, establish sequences of movement, and make inspiring places to live in nature.

Résumé:
Les édifices construits entre 1920 et 1950, sauf de rares exemples, ne sont pas encore passés dans notre conscience patrimoniale. Ceux de Richer ne font pas exception; ils ont été parfois altérés. 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 projects exhibited in this edition of StudioEast showcase a variety of student work, dealing with multifaced issues such as the environment, social and material culture, transportation, immigration, urban design, place-making, form, programming, etc. Some projects address singular issues, others multiple. Some design studio themes may be dependent on natural conditions and student design explorations exhibit reactionary gestures along with long-term sustainable goals.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
This publication brings together five architectural practices that, while all distinct, share a particular sensibility for the impact of craftsmanship and climate on the generation of form, as well as a concern for the expressive tactility of material and the effect of light on the articulation of structure. Designed with detail, the book offers an indepth survey of recent work by Steven Holl (New York), Rick Joy (Tucson), John and Patricia Patkau (Vancouver), Stanley Saitowitz (San Francisco), and Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe (Toronto). The regional specificity of the work is considered against a larger North American context, allowing one to assess the practice of its architecture today.

Résumé:
This book focuses on the lives and works of two of the very first women of European American ancestry to practice architecture in North America during the 19th century. Mother Joseph du Sacré-Coeur, a Sister of Providence—born Esther Pariseau, in St. Elzéar, Quebec—is credited with works built in the present states of Washington, Idaho, Montana, northern Oregon, and in the province of British Columbia. For her contributions, Mother Joseph was honored by the State of Washington as one of two people to represent it in the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, DC. Louise Blanchard Bethune designed and built works in the Buffalo, New York area. Storming the Old Boys’ Citadel follows the evolving histories of two Revival-styled multiuse public buildings considered to be these women’s major works.

Résumé:
Arthur Erickson was one of the 20th century’s premier architects, but little has been written about the man who designed the interiors of Erickson’s award-winning buildings, whom everyone in the business simply called “Francisco”. A decade before his death, Erickson wrote this manuscript to pay tribute to Kripacz and to tell the world of the importance of Francisco’s creations. With stunning images from photographers such as Yousuf Karsh, this book looks at Erickson’s key projects and the crucial contributions made by Kripacz to their feel and glamour. It includes Erickson’s extended commentary on some of his most famous architectural projects from the 1970’s through the 1990s, including Roy Thomson Hall, the Eppich Houses, Napp Laboratories, and the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC., all of which featured interiors by Kripacz.
