Join architects Michael McClelland and Graeme Stewart as they launch Concrete Toronto: A Guide to Concrete Architecture from the Fifties to the Seventies (Coach House Books). Enjoy a lunchtime reception at the Members Lounge at City Hall, and then celebrate into the night at the evening launch party at Empire Lounge (50 Cumberland Street, Toronto) from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.

Concrete Toronto acts as a guide to the city’s extensive concrete heritage. A diverse group of experts has been assembled to re-examine the uniqueness and value of these buildings. Included are the insights of many of the original concrete architects, university faculty, local practitioners, journalists and industry experts. Together they explore the past and future of Toronto’s concrete buildings.
