Ornamentum's Spring/Summer issue is here!
The parks and playscapes discussed in this issue act in many roles, from the recreational uses of early rural cemeteries to the preservation and fostering of Chinese cultural identity in Vancouver’s exquisite Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden to les Jardins de Métis (Reford Gardens) on Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula and Toronto’s Space Age park architecture from the 1950s-60s.
