RON THOM, ARCHITECT

The Life of a Creative Modernist

A definitive biography of iconic Canadian architect Ron Thom — and a social portrait of the mid-century design world he lived in. Thom came of age just as the modern movement and an impending building boom were about to reshape the country. In Adele Weder’s new biography, he emerges as a complex figure, gifted with creative genius but pursued by demons. More than just the life story of one man, this book is also a portrait of the society that shaped him.
