Review

Arthur Erickson is the most prominent Canadian architect of recent
decades. This second volume of the Erickson inventory at the University
of Calgary fully indexes the drawings for 200 of his projects, including
such works as Simon Fraser University, the pavilions for two world
fairs, and the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology.
The drawings are classified by name of the originator of the drawing
(including the consulting engineering firms that contributed to the
projects), project name, project address, client, and building type.
This architectural historian’s guide to a huge body of material is
cerlox-bound and easy to use.
