Summary:
How do photographers select, order, and display their images to make visual arguments about built and natural environments? Conceived as part of a long-term project at the CCA to examine the contemporary role of photography in the study and practice of architecture, The Lives of Documents — Photography as Project prompts reflections on the idea of the documentary as an embedded quality of photography. Tracing the research materials, archiving practices, and production processes of diverse authors, photographers Bas Princen and Stefano Graziani highlight a selection of photographic projects that model our visible world by investigating notions of landscape and its destruction, global infrastructure, intimacy and interiority, and conditions of urban and domestic space and life. This publication follows Princen and Graziani’s travels to understand how artists use photography as a tool for their artistic research and how they conceive of their projects as evolving and expanding explorations. Bringing together studio visit images, artist interviews, and Princen and Graziani’s own reproduction of photographic projects, it emphasizes how photography reveals and expresses lived and built realities in ways that traditional architectural tools fail to represent or communicate.

Conçue dans le cadre d’un projet à long terme du CCA visant à examiner le rôle contemporain de la photographie dans l’étude et la pratique de l’architecture, Les vies des documents – La photographie en tant que projet interroge l’idée selon laquelle la qualité de documentaire est intrinsèque à la photographie. En s’appuyant sur les pratiques d’archivages, le matériel de recherche et les processus de productions de divers auteurs et autrices, les photographes Bas Princen et Stefano Graziani mettent en lumière une sélection de projets photographiques modelant notre monde visible en examinant les notions de paysage et de sa destruction, d’infrastructure globale, d’intimité et d’intériorité, et des conditions spatiales de la vie urbaine et domestique. Cette publication suit Princen et Graziani au fil de voyages visant à comprendre comment les artistes utilisent la photographie comme outil de recherche artistique et conçoivent leurs projets comme des explorations évolutives. Rassemblant des images de visites de studios, des entrevues d’artistes et la reproduction de projets photographiques par Princen et Graziani, elle met l’accent sur la façon dont la photographie révèle et exprime les réalités vécues là où les outils architecturaux traditionnels n’y parviennent pas toujours.

Summary:

''Fugitive Archives'' is not a book about African architecture or its history. It is a book about the role of primary research in the work of the fellows and about how, to centre Africa in histories of modern architecture, they had to develop new ways of finding, seeing, and listening. The sources presented here are starting points for dismantling and expanding existing architectural archives, in which what is considered valuable enough to archive remains dominated by colonial or Western knowledge frameworks. Through varied media and formats, the sources multiply narratives by highlighting diverse actors, practices, and geographies—on and off the continent—implicated in the history of modern African architecture. Rather than suggesting key, but inevitably reductive, themes, this book brings the fellows and their sources into dialogue in three sections that foreground similar methods and challenges to locating, accessing, reading, and constructing otherwise fugitive archives.

As architects elsewhere in the world sought to break through the conventions of modernism, Ito attempted to bring new significance to architecture in a rapidly transforming city, with particular attention to the lives of women in urban society. Led by Koji Ichikawa, the conversation included Mikio Wakabayashi, Kozo Kadowaki, Yutaro Muraji, Leo Tanishige, Mariko Terada, Naohiko Hino, Erika Nakagawa, and Tomoharu Makabe.

Summary:
As a follow-up of a first volume published in 2019 that built on years of thematic investigations, the book focuses on how the institution works out and on these questions by rethinking its tools and how it relates to others. ''The Museum Is Not Enough'' (no. 10–14) gathers conversations among curators, artists, academics, and architects on how institutions engage multiple contexts, objects, and perspectives: reflecting on strategies to unlearn and decentre established ways of seeing and doing; looking closely at how to describe and document archival sources while interrogating the stakes, and often the harm, in separating cultural objects from their context; questioning the relationship between institutions and “the public”; and discussing curatorial tools—and particularly film—that collapse research and display, observation and action, here and there. Underlying these reflections is the realization that the museum’s activity can’t be constructed from a fixed position. Unless the questions it deals with are observed from another angle, it is hard not to perpetuate the thinking that created them. The book responds to an urgent need to equip the institution to understand how things around it are rapidly changing, and the importance of conveying and discussing this instability. Here, the museum gets outside its physical walls to explore on-site, to talk with people, to connect and activate collaborators, to design conditions for different forms of dialogue to happen on the ground.

Examinar os cruzamentos entre as culturas do livro e da arquitectura expõe eixos ao longo dos quais o conhecimento circula entre páginas e edifícios e, de novo, regressa aos livros. Seja na celebração de construções específicas ou na produção de livros singulares, as páginas e a impressão são manipuladas para transmitir ideias arquitectónicas. Ao dissecar uma quantidade substancial de livros através de cinco ferramentas conceptuais – textura, superfície, ritmo, estrutura e escala –, André Tavares analisa as qualidades materiais dos livros para avaliar a forma como se entrelaçam com o conhecimento da arquitectura. A história detalhada de Befreites Wohnen, de Sigfried Giedion, e as duas encarnações do Crystal Palace, em Hyde Park e Sydenham, oferecem um pano de fundo que nos confronta não apenas com o desenvolvimento do livro industrializado, mas também com a sua configuração enquanto poderoso instrumento de comunicação e conhecimento.

Summary:
Idealized representations of America, as both an aspiration and a menace, played an important role in shaping Russian architecture and urban design from the American Revolution until the fall of the Soviet Union. In Building a new New World, Jean-Louis Cohen traces the concept of “Amerikanizm” and its impact on Russia’s built environment from early czarist interest in Revolutionary America, through the spectacular World’s Fairs of the nineteenth century, to department stores, skyscrapers, and factories built in Russia using American methods during the twentieth century. Visions of America also captivated the Russian avant-garde, from El Lissitzky to Moisei Ginzburg, and Cohen explores the ongoing artistic dialogue maintained between the two countries at the mid-century and in the late Soviet era, when the Cold War induced a strategic competition. Tracing the many journeys of Russian writers, politicians, and planners through the American territory, foregrounding the constant streams of cultural and technological transfer from the U.S.A. to Russia, and revealing the parallel fascination among Russian and American intellectuals with the ongoing pursuit of land occupation and development within their respective borders, this study of Amerikanizm in the architecture and urban design of Russia makes a timely contribution to our understanding of modern architecture and its broader geopolitics.

Les représentations idéales de l’Amérique, à la fois comme horizon prometteur et comme menace, ont joué un rôle déterminant dans la formation de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme russes de la Révolution américaine à la dissolution de l’Union soviétique. Jean-Louis Cohen retrace l’origine du concept d’"amerikanizm" et son impact sur l’environnement bâti de la Russie de l’intérêt précoce de l’intelligentsia pour l’Amérique révolutionnaire et la découverte des expositions universelles du XIXe siècle jusqu’aux grands magasins, aux gratte-ciel et aux usines construits en Russie selon les méthodes américaines au cours du XXe siècle. Les images de l’Amérique ont également captivé l’avant-garde russe, d’El Lissitzky à Moïsseï Guinzbourg, et Cohen explore la relation spéculaire entretenue entre les deux pays au milieu du siècle dernier et à la fin de l’ère soviétique, dans une concurrence stratégique aiguisée par la Guerre Froide. Dans cette première grande étude de l’américanisme dans l’architecture russe, la trame tissée par Jean-Louis Cohen entrecroise les trajectoires d’écrivains, d’hommes politiques et d’urbanistes russes à travers le sol américain, met en avant le flux constant de transferts culturels et technologiques des États-Unis vers la Russie, et révèle la fascination parallèle des intellectuels russes et américains face à la poursuite inexorable de l’occupation et l’exploitation du territoire au sein de leurs frontières respectives.
