5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for Students or Professional Architects
An interesting body of work that demonstrates the architect's commitment to vernacular design of the Maritime Traditions in Nova Scotia. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to see a consistent style and language from an architect.

Great Book, but no color photos . . .
A really nice book, but lacking color photos. These works are in beautiful surroundings (primarily Nova Scotia), but not a single color photo. The text and the drawings are very nice, and include ample information for such a small book with so many projects, but if you have seen any of his work in the architecture periodicals, you will understand why these projects...

Outstanding display of vernacular Nova Scotia/modernism,
By JP Grom (College Station, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brian MacKay-Lyons: Selected Projects 1986-1997 (Paperback)
An outstanding summary of the works of Lyons! Similar in photographic quality and descriptive drawings to the Contemporary World Architects or Ten Houses series. The book contains a great biography at its beginning and follows with work that is incredibly well planned and finely detailed. The influence of Glenn Mercutt, Louis Kahn, and Perter Forbes are evident in many places throught his buildings. Lyons draws upon his incredible historical recall to create buildings that are well suited to their social and physical context. Very nice!
