This RARE publication participates not only in local history but in a national and international conversation about the heritage of the Modern. We hope this publication will stimulate public appreciation of what remains in Victoria and on southern Vancouver Island from the postwar period - here considered the span 1945-75. It is also intended to double as a primer on modernism in architecture and design.
