Up North : Where Canada's Architecture Meets the Land

The legacy of Canadian architecture grows out of the landscape, a landscape that is mythic in its scale and power.

The award-winning architecture that is being generated in Canada is not a concoction brewed up to suit the globalised aesthetic of design, but a modern language that has never abandoned its strong sense of place. "Up North" is full of original analysis and insights drawn from the author's extensive experience as a national critic and in-depth interviews with the gurus of Canadian architecture: a new breed of rising superstars.
