Reviews
Beautifully illustrated with a carefully curated selection of paintings, prints, photographs, and architectural drawings, Shubert weaves a fascinating narrative in which architectural history, cultural landscape studies, the history of sport, and political, social, and cultural histories coalesce. Uniquely, Shubert shows the trajectory of a sport through architecture and in doing so turns the standard script for architectural history on its head. A compelling read for multiple audiences, whether scholars of the built environment, historians, or sports enthusiasts feeling nostalgic for the Golden Age of hockey. Montreal Review of Books Teeming with illustrations, this is a thorough and broadly thoughtful chronicle not simply of design and development, but also of the social and cultural spaces that ice-houses occupy in our hearts and on our streets. Literary Review of Canada Unique in topic and scope, Architecture on Ice offers a historically broad yet detailed architectural history of skating rinks and hockey arenas in North America and makes an important contribution to the study of these culturally and economically significant spaces.
