Exhibition catalogue from Substance Over Spectacle: Contemporary Canadian Architecture at the Belkin (22 April—5 June 2005) with texts by Georges Adamczyk, George Baird, Andrew Gruft, Sherry McKay and Marco Polo. Guest curated by Andrew Gruft, the exhibition includes projects by Canadian architects built in Canada since the beginning of the nineties, a follow up to Gruft’s survey of Canadian Architecture, A Measure of Consensus, which was organized by the UBC Fine Arts Gallery (now the Belkin) in 1986. The exhibition asks us to consider several theoretical questions while viewing projects by 26 of the country’s leading contemporary architects. We need to ask how the term Canadian Architecture involves a variety of intersecting realities and ideas such as national identity and values, educational standards, geography and climate, urbanization, multi-cultural contexts, bureaucratization, economics and internationalism.
