Building on Social Power: Percy Erskine Nobbs, Ramsay Traquair, and the Project of Constructing a Canadian National Culture in the Early Decades of the Twentieth Century
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the contribution of the Scottish-born architects Percy Erskine Nobbs (1875-1964) and Ramsay Traquair (1874-1952), both professors at McGill University’s School of Architecture, to a national discourse that emerged among anglophone intellectuals in Canada in the early decades of the twentieth century. The author studies the two architects’ identification of historical architecture in rural Quebec as the embodiment of authentic folk culture, and their belief that in the historic architecture of Quebec lay the key to developing a distinctly Canadian architecture style.
