In Winnipeg, two panels and an exhibition mark the launch of the book Canadian Modern Architecture, 1967 to the present. The panels take place on Monday, February 3 at the University of Manitoba and at McNally Robinson books. The exhibition opens Friday, February 7 and is curated and hosted by the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation.

The first panel takes place at noon at the University of Manitoba’s School of Architecture, in the John A. Russell Building. Book co-editor Graham Livesey and contributing author Lisa Landrum will present an overview of the book, and discuss the role played by key buildings from the Prairies over the past fifty years in contributing to Canada?s multi-faceted cultural identity.
Examples include the University of Winnipeg?s Centennial Hall and the story of campus architecture and high-tech architecture; Manitoba Hydro and the drive towards sustainability; the distinctive work of Gaboury, Wiens, and Cardinal and the development of a regional idiom; and the influence of contemporary firms such as Jeremy Sturgess and 5468796.
