Description
Book SynopsisThe story of modern architecture in Toronto.
Trade Review"Making Toronto Modern provides an engaging description of professional and public debate on architecture and urban design. The depth and comprehensiveness of Christopher Armstrong's research represents a substantive contribution to the existing literature on Toronto, and to Canadian architectural history generally." Rhodri Windsor-Liscombe, Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory, University of British Columbia "Making Toronto Modern is a serious scholarly work and a considered and well-elaborated history of the buildings and planning activities in Toronto during the period." George Kapelos, Department of Architectural Science, Ryerson University " In this well-written volume, Armstrong adroitly chronicles Canadian absorption of doctrines and examples from the US and the Continent (much more than from Britain) to march with history being made elsewhere. Recommended." Choice
