Rahul Mehrotra presents a reading of Mumbai’s form as a symbol of India’s emerging urban culture. The lecture examines Mumbai, a megalopolis with more than 13 million inhabitants, as two distinct elements that occupy the same physical space. The first, the Static City, built of permanent materials like concrete, steel and brick, can be captured as a two-dimensional entity(...)

Description:
Cette série porte sur le travail de documentation photographique de Robert Duchesnay d'un des exemples construit du Dymaxion Dwelling Machine, à Wichita, Kansas, aux États-Unis. Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine, concept conçu par Buckminster Fuller et considéré comme le précurseur du dôme géodésique, visait a créer un mode d'habitation donnant un maximun d'espace pour un minimum de coût et de matériaux. L'exemple du Wichita House est conçu par Fuller en 1945-1946. "L'apparence de cette machine à habiter ressemble quelque peu à une soucoupe volante. Avec sa peau externe en aluminium et ses fenêtres en plexiglass, elle offre un surface élégante et profilée, tout en renferman un espace au sol de 1100 pieds carrées." [1] Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine est abandonné en 1970, pour être finalement acquise en 1990 par le Henry Ford Museum à Detroit, au Michigan. La structure est démantelé la même année avec l'aide d'un ancien collaborateur de Buckminster Fuller, Jay Baldwin. Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine est toujours visible au Ford Museum. La série contient des photographies de la Wichita House avant et durant le démantèlement, brochures et feuillets du Wichita Art Museum présentant l'exposition de Robert Duchesnay sur le bâtiment, correspondance reçue par Duchesnay sur son projet de documentation des dômes géodésiques de Buckminster Fuller, et coupures de presse sur le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine et le démantèlement de la Wichita House.

Reference number:

Synopsis:
Le fonds Pierlucio Pellissier, 1946-2020, documente les projets de conservation et de commissariat entrepris par Pierlucio Pellissier, architecte, conservateur et professeur, entre 1996 et 2003. Le fonds comprend des documents textuels et photographiques touchant à trois projets distincts : les restaurations de deux églises décorées par l’architecte et artiste Guido Nincheri (1885-1973), qui en assura également le design architectural, soit Sainte-Amélie à Baie-Comeau, Québec (1938-1939) et Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense, Montréal (1919), et le commissariat d’une exposition sur l’œuvre de Guido Nincheri tenue à Montréal en 2001. Le travail de conservation et de restauration des fresques de Nincheri, qui ornent les deux églises, forme la plus grande partie de la documentation, mettant en lumière la spécificité du médium et les problématiques de la conservation d’œuvres d’art à portée publique.

The bubble is a wonder of surface tension. In its architectural interpretation, the bubble can be understood as a feat of engineering or as a metaphor for an enclosed hermetic environment. As such, the bubble emerges, in the architect Cedric Price’s words, “in any shape or any size” as a powerful symbol of the future, or becomes synonymous with the condition of isolation(...)
