"He was a huge, irascible character, disguising great sensitivity under a blunt manner and, as a perfectionist, unwilling to suffer fools gladly, either by his colleagues or his clients. No other architect has made quite such an impact on the Canadian scene in so short a time." Alan Jarvis, Telegram, November 4, 1961

URBANISM
Urbanism is dedicated to Canadian Modern Architecture & Design, and to the Preservation of Architecture across the Dominion of Canada. Urbanism was launched in mid-1998 in a campaign to save Toronto's CNE Grandstand Stadium from demolition. Urbanism is a resourse for the public to utilise and act if they so choose. These will include demolition alerts, new construction, databases on Modern Architecture, General Canadian Architecture, Architects, Industry, and Canadian Industrial Design.
