In Toronto, I wanted to see every subway station, and this photobook inspired me to do that. I had passed by all the stations, but I had not been to each one. When I made this photo project, it allowed me to visit some stations I had never visited before, such as Downsview, Glencairn, Rosedale, and Davisville. TTC is woven inextricably into my daily life. I use this system to travel to any part of the city at any time, anywhere. Lastly, I want to make this photo book to notice what we have missed because of seeing it so often - it has become part of the background.

“I am an architect who takes every opportunity to travel and look at architecture. I enjoy exploring new cities; I look and I see; I observe and I remember. Every city has its own character that leaves an imprint on the mind’s eye.” George Thomas Kapelos
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank all construction workers over the years who built these stations for us to use and explore. Thank you as well to the TTC maintenance staff—everybody craps on you but you still do the job. Take pride in your work. I would especially like to thank the architects, engineers, planners, and designers whose work is the subject of this book. I thank those who participated directly for their time and to all others for their wonderful contributions to the Canadian architectural landscape. And finally, I would like to thank you, the reader, for your forbearance.
