The McGill School of Architecture will host a book launch for Cameron Macdonell’s new book, Ghost Storeys: Ralph Adams Cram, Modern Gothic Media, and Deconstructive Microhistory at a Canadian Church, on October 30—fittingly, the day before Halloween. The launch will take place at 5:00pm in Room 101 of the Macdonald-Harrington Building.
The first interdisciplinary study of Cram’s aesthetics, Cameron Macdonell’s Ghost Storeys deconstructs the boundaries of Gothic architecture and literature through a microhistory of St Mary’s Anglican Church in Walkerville, Ontario. Painstakingly researched and lavishly illustrated, Ghost Storeys redefines the allegorical relationship between a marginalized church and the Gothic Revival movement as a global interdisciplinary phenomenon.
Cameron Macdonell is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
