Starting from… The Suburbs looks at the past fifty years of suburban culture through the lens of the CCA Collection’s photography holdings, produced by photographers’ longstanding attraction and aversion to this urban form.

Description:
Le dossier documente l'étude préliminaire réalisée pour l'aménagement du Faubourg Québec, situé à Montréal, Québec. Le dossier contient des dessins, des reprographies, des documents textuels, des documents photographiques et un panneau. "Les traits principaux du plan, évalués progressivement par les divers spécialistes économiques et sociaux et techniques, traduisent des possibiités en terme d'architecture qui ont pu être testées par les architectes du Bureau de projet ainsi que par d'autres architectes invités à faire cet exercice. Dans ces circonstances, Jacques Rousseau confrontait l'identité singulière du Faubourg Québec à son environnement historique avec une proposition très articulée: une nouvelle grille distribuant des séries de bâtiments d'habitation d'une typologie d'inspiration radicalement moderniste." Georges Adamczyk, "Le Faubourg Québec à Montréal", ARQ 66:25.
