Summary:
Published in concert with a major exhibition at the CCA in 1995, ''Scenes of the World to Come'' analyses the global structures and thematic strategies according to which American architectural forms and urban models migrated to the Old Continent, bringing the promise of a new architecture and, along with it, the threat of a dissolution of European identity. The text traces the assimilation of American models in the various countries of Europe: in Germany, where the discipline of urban planning was founded; in futurist and fascist Italy; in France, where the Beaux-Arts tradition was profoundly shaken by contact with America; in avant-garde and Stalinist Russia; and in Great Britain after 1945.

Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition homonyme présentée par le CCA au cours de l'été 1995, le présent ouvrage analyse les structures globales et les stratégies thématiques selon lesquelles les types et les formes de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme américains migrent vers le Vieux Monde, apportant les promesses d'une architecture nouvelle et, déjà, la menace d'une dissolution de l'identité européenne. Ainsi en va-t-il du modèle de l'usine taylorisée ou, bien entendu, de celui du gratte-ciel, que chaque courant architectural s'appropriera. Le propos retrace l'assimilation des démarches américaines par l'Allemagne, où se fonde l'urbanisme, par l'Italie du futurisme et du fascisme, par la France, où l'hégémonie des Beaux-Arts vacille au contact de l'Amérique, par la Russie des avant-gardes et de la réaction culturelle stalinienne et par l'Angleterre d'après 1945.

Summary:
''Photography and Architecture: 1839–1939'' presents works that show aspects of the history of architecture seen through photography, and the history of photography through architecture. One hundred and forty-eight photographs from the collection of the CCA have been selected to demonstrate the great richness of the subject, including the origins of photography in Britain and France, the pioneering expeditions accompanied by photographers who recorded the great monuments of the world from the Mediterranean to the Far East, and the great surveys of the nineteenth century. Individual images document the expansion of the United States in works that reflect the growth of American cities. Urban renewal is seen in works from the Second Empire in France and from the 1880s in England and Scotland. Works from the American renaissance in photography of the 1920s and 1930s explore new aspects of the modern vertical city. The final section of the book is devoted to works that reflect the architectural ideas developped in Germany between the two world wars. Introduction by Phyllis Lambert.

Summary:
Dans un traité sur la perspective écrit vers la fin de sa vie, Piero della Francesca tente d’établir les proportions mathématiques « idéales » de la tête humaine. Après des années de méditation créative à partir de ces dessins, Smedley a décidé d’en traduire concrètement le mystère en leur donnant une forme physique. Travaillant à la manière d’un architecte, il en a extrait la structure de ses sculptures. Sa pièce principale, The Numbers, est une méticuleuse représentation de plus d’un mètre de haut de la tête idéale de Piero della Francesca. In a treatise on perspective written towards the end of his life, Piero della Francesca attempted to determine the mathematically "ideal" proportions of the human head, basing his drawings on a belief in the cosmological significance of certain numbers and their geometrical relationships. After many years of creative meditation on these drawings, Smedley decided to translate their mystery into physical form, working the way an architect works to extract from them the structure of his sculptures. His principal piece, The Numbers, is a meticulous, four-foot high realization of Piero’s ideal head.
