Professor Malcolm Thurlby. PhD, FRHist.S, FSA, teaches art and architectural history at York University, Toronto.

He concurs with John Medley (1804-92), Bishop of Fredericton and champion of the Gothic Revival in New Brunswick, that “some knowledge of Church Architecture ought, surely, to be a part of every liberal education.”

Although the study of architecture in Canada is a relatively young field, it is no exaggeration to say that more attention has been given to religious architecture than any other form of building in the country. That is because as long as people have inhabited the land that is now known as Canada, there have been buildings devoted to their religious beliefs and practices. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples can be found in communities across the country in every style, from vernacul...

Many aspects of the transmission of designs from British and Irish sources to what is now Canada are well understood. Architects like Frank Wills (1822-57), William Hay (1822-88) and Joseph Connolly (1840-1904) brought their expertise with them when they settled in the New World. Yet, work remains to be done on the nature of ongoing connections with the architecture of the old countries. This paper examines novel elements in the ‘Roman Renaissanc...

Nous vous proposons une expérience unique pour le dîner de clôture de ce congrès à Montréal, dans l'ancien pavillon des États-Unis de l'Expo'67 – le plus populaire de l'exposition, avec 5,3 millions de visiteurs: le "dôme géodésique" conçu par l'architecte Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) avec la collaboration de Shoji Sadao.
