Three years ago, Canadian Architect and Twenty + Change first partnered to bring a curated showcase of emerging Canadian architectural practices to the pages of this magazine. This year, we are thrilled to have done so again. The sixth edition of Twenty + Change, called New Perspectives, is the result of an open call for submissions, and careful consideration by a curatorial team representing architectural practices from across the country—many of whom were showcased in earlier editions of Twenty + Change. The team included Marie-Chantal Croft of Écobâtiment (Quebec City), Susan Fitzgerald of FBM (Halifax), Andrew Hill of StudioAC (Toronto), Ben Klumper of Modern Office of Design + Architecture (Calgary), , Heather Dubbeldam of Dubbeldam Architecture + Design (Toronto) and Elsa Lam of Canadian Architect (Toronto).

Parks can be big or small, quiet or loud, sunny or snowy. Parks protect the natural world, but they’re also public spaces where anyone can explore, gather, and play. Whether they’re wildlife reserves or your local dog park, wide open spaces or places of quiet in the city, deep in a canyon or just around the corner, parks can be a refuge. With poetic text and sweeping illustrations, Marc Majewski delivers a unique, accessible look at parks all around the world: from Central Park to the Serengeti to the Great Barrier Reef and everything in between.

Jerome Markson’s nearly six-decade-long architectural practice began in a time of profound transformation during the post-war period. His buildings were harbingers of important shifts in sociopolitical attitudes, urban policies, and modes of architectural production.

Résumé:
Jerome Markson’s nearly six-decade-long architectural practice began in a time of profound transformation during the post-war period. His buildings were harbingers of important shifts in sociopolitical attitudes, urban policies, and modes of architectural production. From speculative homes in fledgling suburbs, to bespoke private houses, to social housing in downtown Toronto, to luxury landmarks like the Market Square condominiums, as well as important cultural and institutional buildings, his architecture reflects his pursuit of a more open and inclusive expression of modernity, one that moved past late-Modernism's formal legibility in favour of an increasingly idiosyncratic formal, spatial, and material expression. This book is the first comprehensive critical assessment of Markson's diverse body of work, interwoven with an account of Toronto's emergence as a cosmopolitan city.

Résumé:
Thanks to an automatic reputation of lively urbanity, old neighbourhoods are extremely popular with residents. New buildings, however, can capture some of this charm too, like the variety of successful projects presented in this volume from the “best of DETAIL” series. In the end, it’s a question of mixed usage – residential and commercial as well as open spaces and opportunities for old and young residents of various nationalities and different social structures. Even in these times of an increasingly digitally connected society, urbanity still manages to express itself largely through diversity. In addition to surprising theses on high-density housing, this publication presents a refreshingly inviting selection of projects from around the world that would give anyone the desire to move to the city.

It is a love poem of sorts, one dedicated to the modernist dream. In common with Alex Niven’s recent prose concerning the possibilities of "a new form of radical culture beyond the idea of England", this publication fuses scholarship with meditation, experience with imagination, memory with speculation, inviting us to "pause our vortex for a moment to consider im/possibilities". A utopia of actual places is revealed in the photographs of Euan Lynn and in the poet’s elliptical observations of a situation where, "here and there/everything is open".

The decline of river commerce and riverside industry has made riverfront land once used for warehouses, factories, and loading docks available for open space, parks, housing, and nonindustrial uses.

Résumé:
Today's urban riverfronts are changing. The decline of river commerce and riverside industry has made riverfront land once used for warehouses, factories, and loading docks available for open space, parks, housing, and nonindustrial uses. Urban rivers, which once functioned as open sewers for cities, are now seen as part of larger watershed ecosystems. Rivertown examines urban river restoration efforts across the United States, presenting case studies from Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Portland, Oregon; Chicago; Salt Lake City; and San Jose. It also analyzes the roles of the federal government (in particular, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and citizen activism in urban river politics. A postscript places New Orleans's experience with Hurricane Katrina in the broader context of the national riverside land-use debate. Each case study in Rivertown considers the critical questions of who makes decisions about our urban rivers, who pays to implement these decisions, and who ultimately benefits or suffers from these decisions. In Los Angeles, for example, local nonprofit and academic research groups played crucial roles, whereas Chicago relied on a series of engineering interventions. In each case, authors evaluate the ecological issues and consider urban river restoration projects in relation to other urban economic and environmental initiatives in the region. Rivertown is a valuable resource for urban planners and citizen groups as well as for scholars.

Résumé:
In recent years the idea of sacred space has not been considered a relevant topic in contemporary architecture, a neglect that is even more pronounced in terms of debates about the city. The texts and projects collected together in this book aim to redress this oversight, and re-open a contemporary understanding and discussion of the architecture of sacred space. The book itself is the result of a year-long investigation on the nature of sacred space and its manifestation developed in the AA’s Diploma Unit 14. It consists of design proposals that range from a multi-faith school in Strasbourg to the reconstruction of a festival hall in the city of Xian, China; from a Jesuit monastery in Detroit to a women’s Islamic centre in Paris. Each proposal is introduced by critical texts that analyse the political and ideological meaning of religious architecture. The book is complemented by essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Maria Sheherazade Giudici and Hamed Khosravi that focus on the relationship between forms of worship and architecture, and argue that within sacred space form must follow function – in other words, architectural space must adhere to the rituals through which the sacred is enacted, and that the meaning of sacred space goes far beyond the stereotypes of contemplation and spirituality, and instead aligns with the political and social ethos of the city.

Résumé:
The city of Graz in Steiermark, Austria, has been chosen as cultural capital of Europe for 2003. On this occasion, a number of significant architectural projects, art installations and events have been planned in the city. This exhibition at the Aedes West gallery in Berlin focuses on two of the major and most radical architectural projects: the new museum of Modern Art, which was the object of an international design competition won by the London architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, and the Stadthalle designed by the Graz architect Klaus Kada. The Kunsthaus is currently under construction and will open on the 23rd of September 2003. The Stadthalle opened on the 6th of October 2002. These two projects make an unusual pair in that they are in complete contrast not only in terms of programme and but mostly in terms of their design philosophy: the Kunsthaus is a biomorphic project conceived as a smooth bulbous volume of continuous double curved surfaces, while the Stadthalle is distinguished by a slender roof cantilevered high above the street. The playful aesthetic tension between these two extreme designs, at this interesting and provocative point in history when the architectural envelope is being pushed in many contradictory directions, provides the dominant conceptual and visual theme of the exhibition, which also offers an overview of some of the other key design projects recently completed in the city.
