Summary:
Cet ouvrage examine en détail l’histoire du pavillon du Canada, construit en 1958 dans les jardins de la Biennale de Venise, les forces en présence lors de la réalisation du bâtiment et son utilisation depuis soixante ans pour la présentation et l’exposition d’artistes et d’architectes canadiens. Il s’agit non seulement de souligner l’importance du pavillon dans le contexte plus large de l’architecture moderne, mais aussi de mettre en lumière son rôle d’avant-poste de la diplomatie culturelle. L’apparat iconographique du livre est constitué de documents d’archives – photographies, dessins et cartes –, ainsi que d’un portfolio réalisé par des photographes contemporains (Francesco Barasciutti et Andrea Pertoldeo) qui montrent l’état du bâtiment avant, pendant et après les travaux de restauration de 2018. Les différentes contributions apportent un éclairage sur le contexte culturel et politique dans lequel s’est inscrite la commande du pavillon canadien (Cammie McAtee); la conception et la construction de la structure architecturale, ainsi que les relations avec l’architecte Enrico Peressutti et l’agence BBPR (Réjean Legault); la place du pavillon dans le contexte culturel italien de l’après-guerre (Serena Maffioletti); son retentissement, de l’inauguration en 1958 à la restauration de 2018 (Josée Drouin-Brisebois); le projet de restauration (Susanna Caccia Gherardine); et, enfin, le lien entre le pavillon du Canada et les jardins de la Biennale (Franco Panzini).

Summary:
A wooden Japanese house slated for demolition will instead be moved to Venice for exhibition. Yet the house put on display will not appear in its original form. Dismantled for shipping, it will be reassembled on-site in new configurations created by architects and artisans from Japan, who will add new or local materials and other elements in the process. In other words, the exhibition of the house will be a fantastical installation that combines old and new in a composite of creative efforts by multiple designers and craftsmen. This book, edited by architect Kozo Kadowaki, explores the project in detail.

Qu'il s'agisse, entre autres exemples, du Pavillon France réalisé par l'architecte Jean-Paul Viguier à l'occasion de l'Exposition Universelle de Séville (1992), de celui des Pays-Bas signé de l'agence MVRDV dans le cadre l'Exposition Universelle d'Hanovre (2000) ou encore, avant eux, des pavillons présentés comme « manifestes de la modernité », tels que ceux de Richard Buckminster Fuller (Pavillon États-Unis, île Sainte-Hélène, Montréal, 1967), de Le Corbusier (Pavillon Philips, Bruxelles, 1958) de Robert Mallet-Stevens et des frères Martel (Pavillon du tourisme, Paris, 1925), tous sembleraient procéder d'une même intention (ou prétention)?: celle de définir les voies et préceptes d'une architecture résolument nouvelle laquelle, contestant ou refusant parfois ce qui a cours, préfigure et marque de quoi serait faite l'époque à-venir.

How do city and architecture flourish together ? This question is central to the three-dimensional capriccio that displays a fictional Flemish urban environment. Over time, the informal city in Flanders and Brussels has developed a unique relationship with its architecture. This staged urban landscape reveals how historical layers, morphological peculiarities and unforeseen collisions are an endless source of energy for contemporary architectural production. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Composite Presence" curated by Bovenbouw Architectuur in the Belgian Pavilion at the Biennale di Architettura 2021 in Venice, Italy.

While the main exhibition is primarily organized in five parts that contemplate a new spatial contract at five scales—as diverse beings, as new households, as emerging communities, across borders and as one planet—this volume showcases analytical examples of how we come together at all five of them in and around Venice, as well as in Addis Ababa, Beirut, India, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, New York, Prishtina and more.

Les Editions Fourre-Tout ont remporté, en association avec le collectif AJAP14 et OBRAS, la réalisation du catalogue du Pavillon Français de la 15e Biennale d’Architecture de Venise 2016. Il s’agit d’abord et avant tout de la formalisation éditoriale d’un propos plus large que le projet scénographique – à savoir, un état des lieux de la France péri-urbaine, et de la transformation de son quotidien. Cet état des lieux se manifeste surtout par une campagne de recension de projets d’architecture auprès d’acteurs locaux, et notamment des Ecoles nationales d’Architecture, qui permettent au livre d’approcher de cette masse critique: au total, près de 150 projets sont documentés dans le livre, qui déploie par ailleurs un discours crtique lié aux thématiques générales de l’exposition.

Summary:
The inaugural Toronto Biennial of Art in 2019 was the first edition of a two-part biennial that traced interconnected narratives around the city’s ever-changing shoreline. These connections sought to reveal strategies of resistance against industrial-colonial systems, uncover polyphonic histories sedimented around the shoreline, and open up relations between the human and more-than-human. To extend this artistic thinking and expand notions of relationality, in 2022, the second edition moves inland to follow tributaries and ravines, both above ground and hidden, that shape this place. In relation to these two Biennial exhibitions, this publication is a “third” site, a place where the continuities, resonances, and dissonances between Biennial editions are extended. Its pages become a means to bring together the artists, artworks, collaborators, and ideas that have together informed the exhibitions, irrespective of chronology, dispensing with categories, and part of a greater whole.

''How will we live together?'' The extensive publication for the exhibition of the Slovenian Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Biennale seeks to answer this question through research on community centres in Slovenia. By unearthing and presenting the large-scale project of building more than 350 cooperative centres that began 70 years ago, it reveals how these centres have seen changes in the political and economic system, taken on new uses, shaped local communities, and remain relevant today. A closer look at this history provides a better understanding of indoor public spaces as social infrastructure that fosters interaction, communication, and empowerment.
