Architectural practice in post-World War II Canada brought substantial change to the face of the Canadian built environment; led by the contribution of John C. Parkin. As senior partner at the Toronto-based architectural firm John B. Parkin Associates (no relation) from 1947 to the 1970s; Parkin oversaw the creation of a large number of modernist projects; including hospitals; airports; schools; shopping malls; and factories; and received national recognition for his contributions. This richly illustrated book includes an interview with John C. Parkin and essays that examine the incorporation of art in built architecture; the influence of architectural photography in defining Modern architecture to a Canadian public; the importance of architectural archives; and the corporate structure of a large; highly successful Canadian architectural firm.
