The Montreal Gazette on Saturday July 10 did a three-page spread (with video) on 12 of Montreal's people-friendly places inspired by Avi-Friedman's new book, A Place in Mind: The Search for Authenticity.

"In just under 200 pages, the McGill University architecture professor takes readers on a leisurely tour of some of his favourite places around the world: to a tea rooom in Tuscany, farmers; markets in China and England, a playground in Israel, a sculpture garden in the Canadian Arctic and more."

The Gazette feature "puts a local face to some of the global themes in Friedman's book.
