"The Commissioner, in welcoming the distinguished guests...drew a parable from the new building--standing as it does white, gleaming and immaculate amid the dinginess of the surrounding buildings--saying its purity symbolised its mission in life--to stand for goodness and spirituality in a world of materialism." The War Cry, 1956
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.
