Summary:
This book considers the contemporary house through close scrutiny of works designed by Ian MacDonald, and the ideas that are embedded within them. The architect explores boundary and illusion, and considers site and sightings in both the city and countryside to create houses that appear, disappear, and re-appear. Energetic explorations of land and considerations of weather provide the basis for MacDonald's designs of residential spaces that capture particular views, establish sequences of movement, and make inspiring places to live in nature.

Summary:
With texts by Peter Buchanan, Brian Carter, Thomas Fisher, Kenneth Frampton, Karl Habermann, Robert Ivy, Christine Macy, Robert McCarter, Juhani Pallasmaa. The Ghost International Architectural Laboratory, better known as 'Ghost Lab' or 'Ghost', is the research laboratory of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. The Ghost Lab began as a critique of architectural education in North America in the 1990s and represents an alternative to the current standard of practice. Ghost is rooted in the hands-on master-builder tradition, emphasizing an intimate interaction between master and apprentice in response to the increasingly virtual nature of architectural design.

Summary:
'Seeing, Selling, and Situating Radio in Canada, 1922-1956' examines the visual, material, and spatial presence of radio as it reshaped Canadian society in the second quarter of the twentieth century. Through an analysis of radio sets and advertisements, the authors explain how marketing and design were crucial to convincing Canadians to adopt this modern technology.

Contains a series foreword by Michelangelo Sabatino and an introduction by Christine Macy.
