AP041.S1.1975.D1
Description:
UNE HISTOIRE is a project consisting of photographs, photomontages, drawings and a wooden sculpture. A photograph of a worker’s house near a pulp mill in Trois-Rivières became the focus of the series. In an attempt to understand the architecture of that house, and how industrialization was being reflected in the architecture of Québec, Charney went to visit the house in 1974, only to find it had already been torn down. Charney photographed its surroundings and tried to reproduce its likeness in drawings. Unsatisfied with the results, he built a wooden sculpture (UNE HISTOIRE…Le trésor de Trois-Rivières, 1975), a replica of the house, in an attempt to fully “know” and understand the structure.

Œuvres du prix de Rome
AP066.S4
Description:
Cette série rassemble les documents produits par Jacques Rousseau dans le cadre du Prix de Rome (1988), soit: les esquisses préparatoires et les gravures blanches (sans encre) qui illustrent un projet de "Nouveau-Port" pour Montréal, et les dessins à la craie sèche sur papier intitulés "Mémoire virtuelle ...". On y retrouve également des avenues de projet qui n'ont pas été développées, "Étude du flanc est du Mont-Royal" et projet de "Boucliers de papier", et des documents issus de l'exposition intitulée Montréal vue de Rome présentée à la Maison Coloniale en mai 1990. Le dossier contient des dessins, des documents textuels, des documents photographiques et un artéfact. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Amorcé en 1985, lors de la consultation publique concernant le Vieux-Port de Montréal, "le projet du Nouveau Port" complète son cycle alors que je séjourne à Rome à titre de Prix de Rome du Conseil des Arts du Canada. Prétexte par excellence pour réfléchir sur l'espoir et la transformation de Montréal, le sujet du Nouveau Port m'est apparu comme le moyen d'informer une approche de la transformation de la ville. J'ai pensé le projet possible, nécessaire même et j'ai plongé." Jacques Rousseau, "Le projet du Nouveau Port", ARQ : Architecture-Québec, nº 67, p. 30.

AP194.S1
Description:
Series contains records associated with three OCEAN North projects to which Johan Bettum brought a significant insight: Synthetic Landscape (1995-2000), Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre (1997) and Töölö Football Stadium (1997). The collaborative process around these projects allowed exploring design methods through the usage of digital tools. In discussions with Greg Lynn, Johan Bettum and Kivi Sotamaa have expressed that they had broached Töölö as a landscape and Jyväskylä as a cloud. Particle streaming and Channelling Systems approaches were applied in these projects and further developed in the third phase of the Synthetic Landscape project and its Pavilion. The Synthetic Landscape project also featured usage of polymer composite materials. All records are born-digital, except for one 1995 drawing from the Synthetic Landscape project. Records include CAD models, raster and vector images, textual records and animated renderings from Channelling Systems studies. CAD models and drawings show design process of the projects, and range from the abstract (particle streaming) to very detailed plans (Jyväskylä). They were created using form*Z, Microstation, Alias, 3D Studio, AutoCAD and Rhinoceros. Some files were saved in IGES and DXF formats. Most CAD drawings have been saved as raster images. Drawings and models might have been saved in more than one file format. Digital textual records include project descriptions, presentations and reports, budgets and meeting notes, often created using the Microsoft Office software suite.
