Project
Bar "le Business"
AP066.S2.D14
Description:
Le dossier documente l'aménagement intérieur (conception et réalisation) du bar "Le Business", situé au 3500 boul. St-Laurent, à Montréal, Québec. Le budget aloué pour ce projet était de 450 000$. Aussi, le projet s'est mérité le Prix d'excellence de l'OAQ, Mention en architecture, en 1986. Le dossier contient des dessins, des photographies, des reprographies, des documents textuels et des documents photographiques. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Le bar sera le projet de la transformation d'un espace brut au rez-de-chaussée d'un bâtiment industriel construit au centre-ville de Montréal. Il sera un bar pour danser où auront lieu des événements spectaculaires de toutes sortes. À ce programme concret, un projet thématique fait écho: la ville et l'industrie, le bar et le théâtre seront des clés structurantes auxquelles le processus de conception sera lié. Certaines indications du programme révèlent des aspects recherchés qui caractérisent ces thème." Jacques Rousseau, 66-B014-015T.

A look at Louis Kahn’s graphic work shows that his search for abstract monumentality, which culminated in his works of the 1960s, began decades earlier in his abundant drawings, travel sketches, and landscapes. The studies, travel sketches, and landscapes shown in the exhibition—such as Kahns intimate landscapes from Gaspé, where he regularly vacationed during the 1930s(...)

How are computational optics operating in and through the built environment? How have they become so ubiquitous and taken for granted, completing the desires of fulfillment centres and the legibility that computation craves?
