Abstract

Architectural design philosophy has transformed from the high modernism of the early 20th century, from classic functional international style which dominated North American architectural practices up until the 1970s, to be replaced by the anti-modern or the post-modern. (Ghirardo, 1996) However, as Curtis notes, the modernist issues of how to mix technology, buildings, community and materials is not a forgotten concept, but still an evolving element in the architectural field. In 2005 canadian architecture, in a general way, has been concerned with issues of environmental sustainability, use of easily transformational materials in space, the integration of nature and the cultural, and the integration of history and the local. These are in some ways continuations of late modernism, combined with the pastiche of post-modernism; the interest or re-emergence of study of history. (Heartney, 2008)
