Spacing <\/em>is happy to announce the release of Remnants of Mid-Century Toronto<\/i>, a collection of photos by Vik Pahwa documenting the sometimes beautiful, sometimes neglected collection of mid-century structures that still stand today, dotting Toronto\u2019s urban landscape.<\/p>\n

In this unique book edited by Spacing<\/em>\u2019s creative director Matthew Blackett, readers are not taken on a journey of \u201cbest of mid-century architecture.\u201d Instead, the book focuses on the buildings that we see in our everyday activities that often blend into the background of collective memories of the city. These buildings were built with the ethos of a different generation \u2014 seeing them in a contemporary setting allows us to reflect on the legacy of what we\u2019ve inherited as a city. The book is dotted with short essays and features that uncover peculiar facts and stories about the buildings that have come to symbolize the greatest period of growth in Toronto’s history.<\/p>\n

Vik Pahwa is a Toronto-based architectural photographer and documentarian with a deep knowledge of the city. This journey has resulted in a large archive of city images and a daily photography blog<\/a> that started in 2011. Specializing in capturing historical and mid-century modern architecture \u2014 as well as documenting urban transition \u2014 Vik\u2019s work combines an inquisitive and unique perspective with a strong emphasis on lines and geometry. Vik is a long-time contributor to Spacing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Most of the writing in this book comes from the knowledgeable staff of ERA Architects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remnants of Mid-Century Toronto<\/i>, is the 8th book published by Spacing<\/em> since 2016. Find out more about our publications at Spacing.ca\/Books<\/a><\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong> Due to the 2020 pandemic, we do not have a book launch event planned. We hope to deliver a few photography walks with Vik Pahwa in the fall, if possible.<\/em><\/p>\n
