Canadian Design

Over on our sister site IF, Mark Busse, a catalyst in the Canadian design sector, writes an indepth analysis of Canadian design, its roots and the questionable debate over a ‘Canada Style’.

"Do we want to credit our mountains, oceans, maple trees and colder climate for the way we use form elements and design principles in our compositions? A better argument might be that our ideology, politics and cultural biases tend to create an underlying tone in our work, but I think that might be more a result from the influence of our European ancestry and reaction to our ‘Big Brother’ south of the border as we struggle to find our own identity and voice."
