Summary:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

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:
A collection of primary sources chosen by the research fellows ''Centring Africa: Postcolonial Perspectives on Architecture'', Doreen Adengo, Dele Adeyemo, Warebi Gabriel Brisibe and Ramota Obagah-Stephen, Rachel Lee and Monika Motylinska, Ikem Stanley Okoye, Cole Roskam, Lukasz Stanek, and Huda Tayob. ''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.

Two of her book projects were part of "The lives of documents—Photography as project", the project curated by Stefano Graziani and Bas Princen, and it was while putting this exhibition together that Konrad shared her enthusiasm after researching the work of five women that conceived several residential neighbourhoods in Warsaw after the Second World War and redefined the city as a green haven. If the two book projects she presented in our exhibition—Atlas (2000) and Copy Cities (2003–2004)—brought together multiple fragments of her extensive and systematic documentary work on cities, her survey of the work of Alina Scholtz, Barbara Brukalska, Halina Skibniewska, Helena Syrkus, and Zofia Hansen leads now to a travel diary that reflects on the role of architecture and landscape architecture in defining places of bonding and belonging.
