Cabin, Cottage & Camp

Cambridge Galleries Queen's Square, Cambridge

The exhibition explores the varied themes that surround contemporary 'homes away' through a broad survey of contemporary designs across the landscape. Whether cabin, cottage, camp or cabane, these places of retreat hold a deeply rooted, even mythical, presence in the national psyche. Exploration of the theme is illustrated in the work of important architects and designers

New Designs on the Canadian Landscape

Experimental Buildings in Shoal Lake, Manitoba by Herbert Enns Architect.

Contributing Architects and Designers: BattersbyHowat (Vancouver), Peter Cardew (Vancouver), Patkau Architects (Vancouver), Florian Maurer (Naramata, British Columbia), Herbert Enns (Winnipeg), Peter Prangnell and Tony Belcher (Toronto), Ian MacDonald (Toronto), Shim Sutcliffe, (Toronto), Pierre Thibault (Quebec City) and Brian MacKay-Lyons (Halifax).

This exhibition explores the varied themes that surround contemporary 'homes away' through a broad survey of contemporary designs across the landscape. Whether cabin, cottage, camp or cabane, these places of retreat hold a deeply rooted, even mythical, presence in the national psyche. As we in Canada become increasingly urban and culturally diffuse, these places often stand as significant touchstones of escape, immediacy and relief.

Exploration of the theme is illustrated in the work of Canada's most distinguished architects and designers, including those special instances where the project has been undertaken for the designer's own use. The work canvasses a broad spectrum of circumstances and degrees of resolve. In all cases designs are framed and embraced by the compelling attributes of the Canadian countryside.
