Architectural tourism in Edmonton? You bet. The Art Gallery of Alberta has released Capital Modern: A Guide to Edmonton Architecture & Urban Design 1940–1969, a book which makes the case for Edmonton’s architectural significance. The 159-page guidebook features essays by Trevor Boddy as well as local architects Shafraaz Kaba, Troy Smith and David Murray, as well as elegant portraits of some hidden and endangered gems. (Note: two have been demolished in the past six months.) You’ll never look at the Glenora electrical substation or Eastglen Composite High School in the same way again.—Jennifer Cockrall-King
