Canadian Architecture - Leslie Jen - Bog

DISTINGUISHED AUTHOR: Leslie Jen is a very well-respected authority on Canadian architecture and has been working on this book for five years. There are few people with the depth of knowledge of the contemporary scene that she brings to the project. She has lots of media contacts and will be able to get attention for the book from all the best places.
SUPERB CROSS-SECTION: The book covers the most important and interesting firms from coast to coast, representing many different architectural languages, regions, and building types. It focuses strongly on the importance of regional vernaculars and how they interconnect to create a national architectural language.
STUNNING VISUALS: Any great architecture book has to have fantastic photography, and this book fulfills that need, with beautiful exterior and interior shots, as well as drawings. Every page offers eye-candy for the design lover, and Naomi MacDougall's book design is contemporary and fresh.
FOCUS ON CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE: This book captures the Canadian architecture as it is developing in the country right now. It's about currently active firms and practitioners, their challenges, solutions, and aesthetics.
