Shim-Sutcliffe's masterful work at Point William intertwines landscape
and architecture with ancient rock and water reshaping and reimagining a
site on the Canadian Shield over two decades. Found conditions and new
buildings are interwoven and choreographed to create a rich spatial
experience moving between inside and out.
Kenneth Frampton provides an insightful introduction with selected
images and his own sketches framing a way of seeing Point William for
the reader. Michael Webb's provocative interview with Brigitte Shim and
Howard Sutcliffe describes their evolving vision for Point William and
their two-decade journey towards its realization.
Acclaimed photographers Ed Burtynsky, James Dow and Scott Norsworthy
contribute through their powerful images capturing the spirit of Point
William thorough the seasons and over time.
