Our senior editor Shawn Micallef has collaborated with photographer Patrick Cummins (you’ve likely seen his photos in past issues of Spacing) on a brand new Coach House published book looking at Toronto’s vernacular architecture. Cummins has been walking Toronto streets for more than thirty years, snapping front-facing pictures of homes, stores and garages, often returning to document the changes a few years later. The result is a book that is both a Toronto time machine and one that casts an eye on the everyday built form of Toronto. Micallef’s text and captions explore what this Toronto look is and what it means to us. Here are some photos from the book:
