Ron Thom and the Allied Arts at the Gardiner Museum

If you're a fan of architect Ron Thom, you might want to take in Mid-Century and Still Modern: Ron Thom and the Allied Arts at the Gardiner Museum, across from the ROM.
Here's the scoop:"Ron Thom was one of Canada's greatest architects, with enduring testaments to his genius, such as Massey College and Trent University, still among the country's most admired buildings. 
But Ron Thom, like Frank Lloyd Wright and other architects of his generation, believed in creating not just a building for a client, but a whole world - from the landscaping to the interiors and the furniture to the ceramics. 
This exhibition explores Ron Thom's brilliant architecture in the context of his total aesthetic. Ron Thom and the Allied Arts is a travelling exhibition organized by the West Vancouver Museum in collaboration with Trent University and Massey College."
Cheers,

Vanessa
