Summary:
Iñaki Ábalos and Juan Herreros established the renowned architectural firm Ábalos & Herreros in Madrid in 1984. At the time, following the end of the Franco regime, architects were valued more for their technical ability than for their contributions to theoretical research. In this context, Ábalos and Herreros’s melding of design with a range of publications and curatorial projects presented a remarkable challenge to assumptions about the role of an architect. In 2012, the Canadian Centre for Architecture obtained the Ábalos & Herreros archive, which contains documents related to more than 160 projects. The material comprises sketches, slides, models, collages, and drawings. The archive presents a compelling opportunity to reconstruct Ábalos and Herreros’s planning and design process. Each of the book’s three contributors—two of whom worked with Ábalos and Herreros—approaches the archive with specific questions, and their essays explore topics including the architects’ fascination with industrial architecture, their capacity to construct a hybrid materiality without recourse to building technology as language, and their innovative visions for landscape architecture.

Summary:
In an age of unprecedented human impact on the planet, certain countries stand out for their privileged positions and the complexity of their relationships with nature. Today, Canada's environmental record is among the poorest when compared to other wealthy nations, a fact that suggests ambivalence, and the actions of competing interests, which are most often exposed in moments of disorder and disregard for the unexpected consequences of managing the country's seemingly endless bounty. The 15 case studies presented here reframe Canada since 1945, and these surprising events are grounded in conversations about cultural myths and the legal environment, changing ideas of natural resources and environmental risk, indigenous engagement with environmentalism and development, and the impacts of the environmentalist movement.

Summary:
Il s'agit ici d'une contre-histoire distillant quelques faits déroutants et autres contradictions qui se dissimulent derrière le concept dominant de progrès; une notion qui a subjugué notre imagination et a défini notre relation à l'environnement. Dans une époque caractérisée par l'ampleur sans précédent de l'impact de l'activité humaine sur la planète, nous devons réexaminer les hypothèses fondamentales et les préjugés qui président à nos actions et les justifient. Il faut inventer de nouveaux récits, et le cas du Canada n'est qu'un exemple parmi d'autres des contradictions frappantes entre une vision idéalisée de la nature et une réalité qui s'avère complexe et troublante. Le livre qui accompagne l’exposition (à l’affiche de novembre 2016 jusqu’à avril 2017) présente quinze études de cas, replacés dans leur contexte grâce à cinq entrevues.
