‘Canadian architecture, remarkably producing quality building after quality building at a tremendous rate...’
Progressive Architecture
CONC R E TE TORON TO I intended to make this photo book during the time that I read the book “Concrete Toronto� by Michael Mcclelland and Graeme Stewart for my assignment in college. This decision not only helps me to understand this city but also collects unique details to refer for my projects in the future. Toronto is a concrete city. In fact, the city has spectacular examples of concrete via all building types, such as international landmarks (CN Tower), civic structures, metropolitan infrastructure (Gardiner Expressway), and housing, from high-rises to single-family homes. The book will be updated in the future. I will take every opportunity to travel, look at architecture, and take photos of buildings. Thanks to these activities allow me to learn and improve my ability to think about architectural design.
