鈥淎rchitects have always looked back in order to move forward,鈥� observed the great British architect, James Stirling.

In 鈥淎rchitecture and the Passage of History,鈥� the well-known writer and architecture critic, , BArch鈥�66, MArch鈥�72, DSc鈥�02, explores the intimate but unusual relationship between architects and the past. He shows how 鈥� and especially why 鈥� architecture since the Renaissance has been characterized by recurring historic revivals. Using examples of work by contemporary Canadian architects, he demonstrates how even modernist architects cannot avoid connecting with the past, and why this is a good thing.

Anthony Lukas Prize. In 2007, he received the Vincent J. Scully Prize from the National Building Museum. He lives in Philadelphia, where he is professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania.
