Canada's most distinguished architectural critics and scholars offer fresh insights into the country's unique modern and contemporary architecture. Beginning with the nation's centennial and Expo 67 in Montreal, this fifty-year retrospective covers the defining of national institutions and movements:

• How Canadian architects interpreted major external trends
• Regional and indigenous architectural tendencies
• The influence of architects in Canada's three largest cities: Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver

Co-published with Canadian Architect, this comprehensive reference book is extensively illustrated and includes fifteen specially commissioned essays.
