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:
The Other Architect presents 23 case studies that emphasize the potential for architecture to identify the urgent issues of our time. These international and often multidisciplinary groups, with examples from the 1960s to today, invented and adopted new methods outside of traditional design practices in order to create architecture without building. The alternative approaches shown in the exhibition challenge the concept of individual authorship in favor of establishing collaborative networks or partnerships with permeable roles. Their work took on non-traditional forms such as bibliographies, surveys, databases, conferences, posters, questionnaires and manifestos. By avoiding the built form, these unexpected ways of practicing allow architecture to actively shape a cultural agenda. 416 pages and over 300 colour facsimiles of traces left in letters, books, drawings, photographs, budgets, videos, mission statements, meeting minutes, T-shirts, boats, and buses

Summary:
What role can history play in contemporary architecture practice? ''Besides, History: Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers, David Van Severen'' invites three architects to reread, redraw, translate, and appropriate from the past and from each other in order to construct relationships between and meanings out of a constellation of references. In their conversations, history becomes a tool that can be used in production, rather than just an object of study. The book features newly produced plans, sections, models, and perspectives for projects by Go Hasegawa and OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, juxtaposed with reference material chosen from the CCA Collection. Introduced and annotated by the architects, these images form a visual manifesto for a unique relationship to history.

Summary:
Journeys explores architectural issues raised by increased global mobility. Stories by different authors, presented in a fictional framework, highlight key concepts critical to understanding the impact of the movement of people, animals, objects and ideas. The vagabondage of seeds. The transfer of knowledge and experience as people move from one place to another. The physical reconfiguration of communities. These are among the wide range of topics Journeys explores as it seeks to analyze and visually depict how these flows, encounters and migrations unexpectedly change society and our built environment.

Summary:
Conçu dans le cadre du projet annuel Ressaisir la vie, le livre Une portion du présent vise à rétablir un dialogue entre l’architecture et la société, lequel permettrait à la première de commencer à composer et à traiter avec nos normes sociales modifiées et fluctuantes. Cette publication est une réflexion sur de nouveaux comportements, rituels, valeurs et sur leurs implications spatiales. Elle cherche à catalyser des interventions urbaines et architecturales qui concilient, influencent et, dans certains cas, anticipent nos réalités vécues d’aujourd’hui. Les auteurs abordent des sujets qui vont de la sécurité des espaces numériques à la façon dont les trajectoires de vie normatives touchent les personnes âgées et les nombreuses expressions du soi mises de l’avant par chacun d’entre nous, ainsi que la manière dont les architectes créent des contextes pour des espaces destinés à des familles recomposées, des retraités de trente ans et des monuments contestés, entre autres. Rassemblant des essais analytiques portant sur le moment contemporain et la direction que prend actuellement la société, des textes projectifs qui présentent des types architecturaux inédits pour traiter des besoins sociétaux, de même que des séries télévisées, photographies et projets d’architecture et de design, Une portion du présent trace le contour d’une relation nouvelle entre les espaces dans lesquels nous vivons et les manières dont nous le faisons.

Trajets explore les problématiques architecturales liées au phénomène mondial d’une mobilité grandissante. Sous forme de récits de fiction, différents auteurs nous présentent ici des concepts essentiels permettant d’appréhender les effets des déplacements de personnes, d’animaux, de biens et d’idées. Le vagabondage des noix, le transfert de compétences et de pratiques ou encore, la réorganisation physique de communautés, ne sont que quelques-uns parmi les divers sujets abordés. Trajets analyse et rend visible comment ces flux, ces rencontres et ces migrations transforment de manière surprenante nos sociétés et notre environnement bâti.
