Building New Brunswick examines the built heritage of the province from pre-history until today - from the humblest dwelling to the grandest public edifice." "In this volume Leroux also documents more adventurous takes on modern space and aesthetics found particularly in churches constructed from the late 1940s to early 1970s and in the expressive spaces of the Modern Movement. He observes that structures such as the initial Universite de Moncton buildings the Hugh John Flemming Bridge in Hartland and the Centennial Building in Fredericton will be increasingly valued as central to New Brunswick's heritage. By the late twentieth century the province began to witness surprising interpretations of Postmodernist Neotraditionalist Contemporary and Green architecture marking a renewed enthusiasm for celebrating form."--BOOK JACKET.
