Exploring the Capital - An Architectural Guide to the Ottawa Region (Paperback)

The many and varied threads of Canada's national life come together
in its capital region. Where the Rideau River flows into the Ottawa
River, an Algonquin community was visited by French explorers and
settled by British colonists. The town grew into a city, spilled
over a provincial border, and now represents Canada to the world.
Ottawa is a seat of government and has all the official edifices to
show for it. But as Andrew Waldron shows you in Exploring the
Capital, it's a lot more than that. Follow the twelve guided-tours
covering all corners of the region in Ontario and Quebec and you'll
encounter homes and schools, cultural sites and green spaces,
houses of worship and shrines to commerce. Early houses, humble or
magnificent, from the era of the lumber barons can be found steps
away from the latest in sleek condominiums and office towers built
for sustainability. Waldron takes you behind the doors of more than
390 diverse structures to learn who made them, how, and why.
Exploring the Capital is for architectural experts and amateurs,
and for residents and visitors alike. Visit Ottawa's landmarks and
neighbourhoods through its stories, maps, and photographs, and
learn how great design and engineering turn landscapes into
cityscapes.
