| Summary: | Montréal, Canada's second largest city and the centre of the francoƯphone province of Québec, is a sprawling and green metropolis where French, British, and American architectural traditions meet. Many buildings and streets bear witness to the influence of the ƯParisian École des Beaux-Arts; there are structures in the tradition of the ƯChicago School; and the city also has an extensive herƯitage of both elegant Art Deco and massive ƯBrutalist edifices.This book presents a total of 130 buildings and projects from the almost 400-year history of the port city on the St. Lawrence River. This journey through time is complemented by guest contriƯbutions from renowned experts, for example on the original Northern Deco style, the buildings of Expo 1967, and art in Montréal's metro.
