Christopher Hume - The Toronto Star architectural critic

Without a doubt, one of the most interesting and insightful architectural columnists in TO. Here is a quote from him

"The North American ideal, which in many ways is profoundly anti-urban, is based not on the family, as we like to think, but on the home. Home is a place, a man's castle, inviolate and separate from what's around it. In Europe, on the other hand, a man's castle is his city. It is living room, dining room, backyard and vehicle. The streets are his hallways and the parks his garden."

You'll find his most recent articles here (you may need to create an account on The Toronto Star's website to read them).
