Summary:
L’exposition Des pièces à ne manquer revendique l’importance de l’acte d’habiter et constitue, pour cette raison, une collection d’espaces domestiques (porches, cuisines, chambres, penderies, salles à manger, cours, jardins, vestibules, séjours, bureaux, coins de détente et salles d’eau) réinventés par deux architectes très différents, Umberto Riva à Milan et Bijoy Jain à Mumbai. Ceux-ci se rejoignent néanmoins dans l’attention qu’ils portent aux détails de la vie à l’intérieur ainsi qu’à nos rituels communs que sont le réveil, le bain, les repas, le divertissement et le sommeil. Cette publication accompagne l'exposition.

The Anatomy of the Architectural Book examines the relationships between book culture and building culture, making visible the axes along which architectural knowledge circulates through books into buildings and back. Using five conceptual tools—texture, surface, rhythm, structure, and scale—Tavares analyzes the material qualities of a wide range of books in order to(...)

Summary:
The Anatomy of the Architectural Book examines the relationships between book culture and building culture, making visible the axes along which architectural knowledge circulates through books into buildings and back. Using five conceptual tools—texture, surface, rhythm, structure, and scale—Tavares analyzes the material qualities of a wide range of books in order to assess these dynamics and intersections. This investigation confronts us with the rise of the industrialized book, and thus of the editor as an important intermediary between the author and the printer, as well as with the configuration of the book as a unique visual device (with the designer taking part in a progressively more complex chain of decision-making). Richly illustrated with samples from the CCA library, the volume discusses work by authors including William Morris, Gottfried Semper, El Lissitzky, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others. A large portion of the research for the book was undertaken while Tavares was a Visiting Scholar at the CCA. It is co-published in English by Lars Müller Publishers and in Portuguese by Dafne Editora.

Summary:
The Other Architect presents 23 case studies that emphasize the potential for architecture to identify the urgent issues of our time. These international and often multidisciplinary groups, with examples from the 1960s to today, invented and adopted new methods outside of traditional design practices in order to create architecture without building. The alternative approaches shown in the exhibition challenge the concept of individual authorship in favor of establishing collaborative networks or partnerships with permeable roles. Their work took on non-traditional forms such as bibliographies, surveys, databases, conferences, posters, questionnaires and manifestos. By avoiding the built form, these unexpected ways of practicing allow architecture to actively shape a cultural agenda. 416 pages and over 300 colour facsimiles of traces left in letters, books, drawings, photographs, budgets, videos, mission statements, meeting minutes, T-shirts, boats, and buses
