Architecture of Canada

June 26: N.B. 'cradle of architecture' in Canada, says new book

A new book on architecture in New Brunswick is a treat for history buffs, especially those who live in parts of Canada where buildings are considered "old" if they date from the early 20th century. Building New Brunswick: An Architectural History (Goose Lane) is the first of its kind in Canada, said author John Leroux. It is a survey of the province's building styles stretching from aboriginal birchbark techniques to modern steel-and-glass structures.

June 25: Will Vancouverism take root in downtown London?

"It smells like home," says builder Shane Hartlen, 23, of Vancouver's StructureCraft, taking in the 60-metre-long, undulating sculpture of B.C. red cedar that encircles London's Canada House. He and colleague Ben Mills spent a month installing the work by Vancouver's Bing Thom; it was officially unveiled Monday as part of the Vancouverism: West Coast Architecture and City Building exhibit.
