Synopsis
An intimate portrait of the brilliant and controversial architect who put Canada on the world stage. Arthur Erickson, Canada's preeminent philosopher-architect, was renowned for his innovative approach to landscape, his genius for spatial composition and his epic vision of architecture for people. Erickson worked chiefly in concrete, which he called "the marble of our times," and wherever they appear, his buildings move the spirit with their poetic freshness and their mission to inspire. Erickson was also a controversial figure, more than once attracting the ire of his fellow architects, and leading a complicated personal life that resulted in a series of bankruptcies. In a fall from grace that recalls a Greek tragedy, Canada's great architect -- a handsome, elegant man who lived like a millionaire and counted among his close friends Pierre Trudeau and Elizabeth Taylor -- eventually became penniless. Arthur Erickson is both an intimate portrait of the man and a stirring account of how he made his buildings work., At long last, here is a book of critical thought that analyzes Arthur Erickson 's best work and situates it as a distinctive body of ideas within the mainstream of international architecture in the last half of the twentieth century. Nicholas Olsberg draws on Erickson 's own discussion of ideas to present a thoughtful and illuminating reassessment of his most important work. Ricardo Castro 's photography captures essential passages of the works as they have matured into their settings. Archival photographs, study models, drawings and plans show how the designs were evolved and their intent conveyed. Essays from Edward Dimendberg , Laurent Stalder and Georges Teyssot add an international and critical context. This book was published in partnership with the Vancouver Art Gallery., An intimate portrait of the brilliant and controversial architect who put Canada on the world stage.
