Summary:
The iconic architecture of the brutalist modernist megastructure of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada built by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1960s is the site of the artistic research project into the history of this "radical campus" and its built environment by Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. The collaborative research group, "Guests and Hosts", formed by Bitter & Weber and Métis scholar June Scudeler including Métis scholar and student Treena Chambers, Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk student Toni-Leah Yake, as well as Rachel Warwick and Hannah Campbell, has challenged the narrative of the radical campus, so called because it was informed by experimental concepts of learning and teaching. Using the spaces of a settler colonial institution, the project shifts perspectives by unsettling and challenging western- based concepts of pedagogy and knowledge. Combining archival photographic material, architectural photographs by the artists, and interventions into the institutional spaces by Guests and Hosts, the project performs the claim for places rather than spaces for Indigenous ways of knowing and learning.

Summary:
"Encounter educational modernism" productively revisits the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, an iconic campus from the late 1960s by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. The university is recognized for its architectural vision, its linear relationship with the spectacular landscape, and its dynamic spatial imagination of education as an expansive encounter. Designing the interdisciplinary university as a city within one building, including student housing, the campus stages public spaces of encounter to activate the concept of the student as a global citizen in a new world order. This sixties humanist imagination of the student shapes the spatial program of the architecture, a program which clashes with the current neoliberal view of the student as entrepreneur. The third book in Bitter and Weber's series on architecture and the educational complex, Encounter Educational Modernism is an artistic research project on the architecture of the University of Lethbridge and on modernist imaginations of education. It includes photographs and an introduction from the artists and contributions from University of Lethbridge professor Victoria Baster and poet and educator Jeff Derksen. The series Educational Modernism is published in cooperation with Camera Austria and will be continued with a focus on The Workers University Zagreb by Yugoslavian architects Radovan Niksic and Ninoslav Kucan.

Summary:
Formé par le célèbre architecte américain Frank Lloyd Wright, Roger D'Astous fut un des créateurs les plus féconds de la génération des pionniers québécois du modernisme après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Comme son maître, l'architecte montréalais fut avant tout un bâtisseur de maisons. Toujours fidèle aux principes de l'architecture organique, notamment l'intégration de l'œuvre au milieu naturel et le respect de la propriété des matériaux, il sut, grâce à une recherche persistante, concevoir des formes nouvelles qui lui permirent de créer un style personnel. Roger d'Astous apporta aussi une contribution exceptionnelle à l'architecture religieuse qui franchissait une étape de renouveau au moment où il entamait sa carrière. Sa production d'autres types d'édifices fut moins soutenue, mais presque chaque fois son intervention dans ces domaines a donné lieu à des œuvres qui se démarquent par leur originalité, comme en témoigne l'élégant Château Champlain à Montréal.
