Design Themes

One of the themes running through Myers' work is the theme of urban consolidation. The infill projects he completed in Toronto (Dundas Sherbourne Housing and Hydro Block Housing) served as prototypes for an even distribution of urban density seen in Europe and earlier in his hometown of Norfolk, and opposed the increasing trend of dense, high-rise city centers surrounded by urban sprawl, exemplified in cities like Dallas. His philosophy for urban renewal was published in "Vacant Lottery", with University of Toronto professor George Baird, and led to a renewed interest in city planning and offered a strategy for increasing population densities within cities while preserving the existing residential fabric.

Another architectural theme that Myers helped reintroduce to North American architecture is the idea of the urban room. Myers believes that the success of a building lies in it's ability to define the surrounding streets, squares, forecourts and courtyards that make cities livable. This idea is evidenced in many of Myers' designs including the Pheonix Municipal Government Center, Woodsworth College, New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Stage III Expansion. Woodsworth College, named after politician and clergyman James Shaver Woodsworth (1874-1942), is a college within the University of Toronto. ... The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) is part of Newarks revitalization project, which officially opened in 1997. ... The main entrance to the AGO The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is an art museum on the eastern edge of Torontos downtown Chinatown district, on Dundas Street West between McCaul Street and Beverley Street. ...

Myers' work often makes use of off-the-shelf components, or ready made industrial products that can be readily assembled on site. His early studies with steel and aluminum products with companies such as DOFASCO and Steclo resulted in prototypes for mass produced housing. The factory produced steel houses built in Hamilton, Ontario by DOFASCO (1971) are still standing and in good condition. Myers continued this exploration of off-the-shelf components with the Wolf House, Toronto (1974) and commercial projects such as the Alcan office headquarters in Toronto. This exploration has been constant throughout his career and can be seen in projects ranging from single family residential to large civic developments. As of 2007, four of Myers' steel house projects have been built and continue to be recognized by architectural peers for their innovation.^1,4 In 2006, Barton Myers wrote a book "3 Steel Houses" which chronicles his explorations of steel house design throughout his career and it's historical context.

Myers' work is also identifiable by his commitment to adaptive re-use and his approach to old/new architectural combinations. His sensitivity to the existing urban fabric supports the idea that additions should openly relate to the existing structure and context rather than mimic architectural style. The Myers residence (1971) became an architectural example for modernist infill housing relating to the historic Victorian neighborhood. Later in his career, Myers' work in adaptive re-use was honored by the California Preservation Foundation (2002) for a modern steel and glass addition to the Sacramento Hall of Justice, an example of early Beaux-Arts Calssicism in Sacramento.⁵

In 2007, Barton Myers' House in West Los Angeles design was honored with the highest award level by the American Institute of Architects, Los Angeles. The jury referred to the house as "the most promising concept in residential".¹ This work continues 30 years of research in steel house design, first inspired by Myers' early experiences on naval aircraft carriers, and the work of Eames, Le Corbusier, Rudolph Schindler and Pierre Koenig. In 2007, Barton Myers' Wolf House was arawrded the Prix du XXe siècle from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada which "recognizes the enduring excellence of nationally significant architecture, such as landmark buildings in the historical context of Canadian Architecture".^4,6 The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is a professional organization for architects in the United States. ... Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, who chose to be known as Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965), was a Swiss and later French, (Swiss-born) architect and writer, who is famous for his contributions to what now is called Modern Architecture. ...
