Summary:
We all know the role of public parks in the health and vitality of a major city: they provide space for recreation, help reduce the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and absorb runoff from heavy thaws or storms. Parks also help make a city more equal: they provide greenery, amenities, and spaces to socialize to all people, regardless of income or status. But in(...)

Summary:
We all know the role of public parks in the health and vitality of a major city: they provide space for recreation, help reduce the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and absorb runoff from heavy thaws or storms. Parks also help make a city more equal: they provide greenery, amenities, and spaces to socialize to all people, regardless of income or status. But in a quickly intensifying city with soaring property values, Toronto is hard-pressed to create the parkland necessary to accommodate the needs of a growing population. Our contributors explore these themes in our 20-page cover section. You’ll also find engaging articles on the neurological reasons why we respond to certain architecture styles, how purpose-built apartments after World War I opened up independent city-living for women, where all of the building permits have been issued in the city over the last 20 years, why local comic artists are using Toronto as the setting in their stories, and how Mayor John Tory has made four horrible decisions that Torontonians will have to live with for generations.

Summary:
Dans la collection architecture + recherches. Comment s'occuper des paysages autrement qu'en les "protégeant" ? Des interventions d'aménagement dans de petites localités de Suisse romande témoignent de la possibilité et de la fécondité d'une autre voie, celle du "projet". L'enfeu est énorme. La logique de la protection, adaptée aux paysages exceptionnels, est inopérante pour les paysages ordinaires, qui sont pourtant l'écrasante majorité. Techniquement simple, mais socialement complexe, la logique du projet procède autrement. Pour elle, le paysage n'est pas un objet de science, mais une représentation collective à construire avec les populations concernées. La démarche opère par "bricolage" d'histoires et de lieux d'ancrage banals chemins creux, bornes, toponymes, édifices, etc. assemblés dans un "récit commun" dévoilant le territoire et mettant en continuité un passé pluriséculaire avec les questions du jour. Réflexion théorique et professionnelle, l'ouvrage apporte un témoignage rare sur des pratiques courantes d'aménagement local, ces gestes toujours recommencés d'appropriation collective qui constituent un territoire en "paysage", une population en "collectivité" et cette collectivité en "auteur" de son propre destin.

Point de repère important à Québec, la majestueuse église Saint-Jean-Baptiste trône dans le quartier et la paroisse du même nom depuis plus de 130 ans. Cette oeuvre magistrale du renommé architecte Joseph-Ferdinand Peachy rassemble une grande richesse artistique qui témoigne du savoir-faire de plusieurs artistes et artisans du quartier et de Québec. Né des cendres d’une conflagration du faubourg Saint-Jean, ce haut lieu patrimonial a longtemps été un pôle rassembleur pour la population du quartier, tant pour la vie spirituelle que communautaire. Dédiée au patron des Canadiens français, cette église est longtemps le lieu de ralliement de la Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Québec, mouvement national canadiens-français. Cet ouvrage présente l’histoire du quartier et de la paroisse, en mettant en évidence la place de l’église dans le quotidien. Cet ouvrage offre aussi une visite de l’église en images, tout en proposant une vision inédite des oeuvres pour découvrir leur message et leur richesse patrimoniale. Abondamment illustré par des photographies anciennes et contemporaines du quartier et de l’église, ce livre est offert en héritage, comme un trésor.

Summary:
Canada’s first mosque, the Al Rashid mosque in Edmonton, was built in 1938. In the years since, as Canada’s Muslim population has grown, close to two hundred mosques, Islamic centres, prayer spaces, and jamatkhanas have been built across the country. ''Beyond the divide'' explores the mosques of Canada in their diversity, beauty, practicality, and versatility. From east to west and to the north, Tammy Gaber visits ninety mosques in more than fifty cities, including Canada’s most northern places of worship in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. For nearly a century Muslims have made mosques in a variety of spaces, from converted shops and vacated churches to large, purpose-built complexes. Drawing on site photographs, architectural drawings, and interviews, Gaber explores the extraordinary diversity in how these spaces have been designed, built, and used – as places not only of worship, but of community gathering, education, charitable work, and civic engagement. Throughout, ''Beyond the divide'' provides a groundbreaking analysis of gendered space in Canadian mosques, how these spaces are designed and reinforced, and how these divides shape community experience.

Between 1979 and 1981, Alfredo Jaar asked Chileans a deceptively simple question: "Are you happy?" Through private interviews, sidewalk polls and video-recorded forums, among other interventions, Jaar's three-year and seven-phase project, ''Studies on happiness'', addressed a furtive and fearful population living under Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship.

Summary:
Between 1979 and 1981, Alfredo Jaar asked Chileans a deceptively simple question: "Are you happy?" Through private interviews, sidewalk polls and video-recorded forums, among other interventions, Jaar's three-year and seven-phase project, ''Studies on happiness'', addressed a furtive and fearful population living under Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship. It also spoke to a country in transition, as a newly adopted constitution remade Chile through privatisation and other neoliberal reforms. In its varied interventions and direct mode of address, ''Studies on happiness'' functioned as a feedback device meant to catalyse a critical awareness with its blunt questioning. Edward A. Vazquez contextualises Studies on Happiness within Jaar's early production and situates his practice within a Chilean art world haunted by the residues of political violence. This study foregrounds the project's historical embeddedness and the deep political stakes of its apparent sociality, recognising the crucial role that context has always played in Jaar's practice. By turning to the Santiago of Studies on Happiness, Vazquez explores the work's political and art historical environment and provides a wedge to realign current interpretations of Chilean art and hemispheric conceptualism with the openness central to Jaar's project.

Il fut rasé de la carte comme le fut aussi le Faubourg à m’lasse — pour permettre entre autres la construction du pont Jacques-Cartier. À la place de ce Village-aux-Oies, on bâtit une partie de l’autoroute Bonaventure et, pour Expo 67, l’Autostade, centre sportif qu’on détruisit pourtant rapidement dès 1980. Ce lieu est maintenant occupé par un stationnement et un terrain vague. Cela valait bien la peine de démanteler cette communauté… Ce quartier, situé dans la partie sud-ouest de Pointe-Saint-Charles, comportait une forte concentration de population d’origine italienne. C’est d’ailleurs là que la famille de la photographe Marisa Portolese s’était installée lors de son arrivée au pays. Marisa Portolese revient sur cette histoire de la modernité montréalaise qui eut un impact sur son histoire familiale. Elle a effectué un travail de recherche et de création photographique qui s’échelonne sur plusieurs années. Avec un essai par Vincent Bonin.

Summary:
Architecture and environmental design are among the last professional fields to develop a sustained and nuanced discussion concerning ethics. Hemmed in by politics and powerful clients on one side and the often unscrupulous practices of the construction industry on the other, environmental designers have been traditionally reluctant to address ethical issues head on. And yet the rapid urbanization of the world's population continues to swell into new megacities, each less healthy, welcoming, secure, or environmentally sustainable than the next. Green, carbon-reduced, and sustainable building practices are important ways architects have recently responded to the symptoms of the crisis, but are these efforts really addressing the core issues? Taking the Din� (Navajo) "Hogan Song"�a song used to protect and nourish the personhood of newly constructed dwellings�as their inspiration, the architects, philosophers, poets, and other contemporary scholars contributing to this volume demonstrate that a deeper, more radical change in our relationship to the built world needs to occur. While offering a careful critique of modernist, corporate, or techno-enthralled design practices, these essays investigate an alternative "relational ecology" whose wisdom draws from ancient and often-marginalized voices, if not the whisperings of the earth itself.

A retrospective of Edward Burtynsky's (born 1955) photography from the past 40 years, The Great Acceleration reveals the depth of the photographer's investigation into the human alteration of natural landscapes around the world, showing their present fragility and enduring beauty in equal measure. "The Great Acceleration" is an established term used to describe the rapid rise of human impact on our planet, among them population growth, water usage, transportation, greenhouse gas emissions, resource extraction and food production, each of which Burtynsky has photographed the signs of in great detail throughout his career. From open pit mines across North America to oil derricks in Azerbaijan, from rice terraces in China to oil bunkering in Nigeria, Burtynsky has traveled the world and back again as part of his restless and seemingly inexhaustible drive to discover the ways, both old and new, that organized human activity has transformed the earth. Including many of Burtynsky's landmark images, and which have never been published, the book is an urgent call to action, inviting us to appreciate the sublimity that remains in nature while deepening our understanding of the challenges and responsibilities confronting us today.

Summary:
Providing hard data for trends that many perceive only vaguely and some deny altogether, "Designing for diversity" reveals a profession rife with gender and racial discrimination and examines the aspects of architectural practice that hinder or support the full participation of women and persons of color. Drawing on interviews and surveys of hundreds of architects, Kathryn H. Anthony outlines some of the forms of discrimination that recur in architecture, such as being confined to certain kinds of positions, typically interior design for women, government work for African Americans, and computer-aided design for Asian-American architects. Anthony discusses the profession's attitude toward flexible schedules and part-time contracts and identifies strategies that have helped underrepresented individuals advance in the profession. Given the traditional mismatch between diverse consumers and predominantly white male producers of the built environment, plus the shifting population balance toward communities of color, Anthony contends that the architectural profession staves off true diversity at its own peril. Through her book, practicing architects, managers of firms, and educators will learn how to create conditions more welcoming to a diversity of users as well as designers of the built environment.

The city was forced to rebuild after the destruction wrought by the Great Fire of 1871 and also to expand to accommodate a surge in the population.

Summary:
In the late nineteenth century, Chicago - the birthplace of modern architecture in the United States - was a magnet for aspiring architects. The city was forced to rebuild after the destruction wrought by the Great Fire of 1871 and also to expand to accommodate a surge in the population. The seemingly endless demand for taller and more sophisticated buildings offered young draftsmen an unprecedented opportunity to influence the design of the American skyscraper. "The Chicago Architecture Club : Prelude to the Modern" documents the history of these draughtsmen, the organization they founded, and its role in shaping architectural education and modern architectural practice. Founded in 1885, when architecture was an emerging profession and formal architectural education was in its infancy, the club provided a setting where aspiring draftsmen could develop their skills by creating a professional network and participating in a lively program of lectures, design competitions, and social events. Wilbert R. Hasbrouck documents the personalities and politics of this impressive group, offering an in-depth look at the lesser-known men often largely responsible for the designs credited to their more famous employers. This volume includes hundreds of drawings and photographs. Epilogue by Stanley Tigerman.
