Contemporary architecture in Canada reflects the broad range of the
country's bioclimatic regions, geography, urban centres and landscapes.
While this results in considerable regional diversity, Canadian architecture
can also be understood in the context of several key themes that inform
contemporary design and production. This presentation will explore how
these forces and themes give shape to contemporary architecture in
Canada, and will also consider the impact of global architectural culture,
the increasing influence of Aboriginal traditions and an emerging interest
in the far north as sources of inspiration.
