Summary:
''Photography and Architecture: 1839–1939'' presents works that show aspects of the history of architecture seen through photography, and the history of photography through architecture. One hundred and forty-eight photographs from the collection of the CCA have been selected to demonstrate the great richness of the subject, including the origins of photography in Britain and France, the pioneering expeditions accompanied by photographers who recorded the great monuments of the world from the Mediterranean to the Far East, and the great surveys of the nineteenth century. Individual images document the expansion of the United States in works that reflect the growth of American cities. Urban renewal is seen in works from the Second Empire in France and from the 1880s in England and Scotland. Works from the American renaissance in photography of the 1920s and 1930s explore new aspects of the modern vertical city. The final section of the book is devoted to works that reflect the architectural ideas developped in Germany between the two world wars. Introduction by Phyllis Lambert.

Ces de´coupages, ou` compte surtout l’image, sont partiellement couverts de le´gers traits de peinture qui accentuent la valeur d’exposition de l’ensemble; le de´placement de la page imprime´e a` l’espace de la galerie ou du muse´e. Ce dictionnaire est une forme composite qui re´sulte d’une activite´ a` re´sonances multiples dans l’histoire des relations entre art et information, dans l’histoire de la critique architec- turale et dans celle de l’architecture critique. Les e´ve´nements fortuits que transmettent ces images collige´es par Charney nous forcent a` voir l’architecture dans un cadre qui n’est plus celui de sa repre´sentation comme construction monumentale isole´e. Cette publication accompagnait la participation canadienne a` la 7e Exposition internationale d’architecture de la Biennale de Venise, dont le the`me e´tait « La ville : moins d’esthe´tique, plus d’e´thique ». The Montre´al-based Canadian artist and architect Melvin Charney describes the history of modern architecture as a series of significant monuments that have been reproduced and documented. Here, the unexpected events transmitted by wire-service news photographs—selected, classified into various thematic areas, and collated by Charney—confront us with the shock or recognition that allows us to see architecture from outside its presentation as an isolated monument. The choices made by Charney from the ideas enclosed in the pre-packaged “news” images order them into a “dictionary,” and show the built and inhabited world as it appears through journalistic information. This publication accompanied the Canadian entry to the Venice Biennale’s 7th International Architecture Exhibition, whose theme was “The City: Less Aesthetics, More Ethics.”

Summary:
A collection of primary sources chosen by the research fellows ''Centring Africa: Postcolonial Perspectives on Architecture'', Doreen Adengo, Dele Adeyemo, Warebi Gabriel Brisibe and Ramota Obagah-Stephen, Rachel Lee and Monika Motylinska, Ikem Stanley Okoye, Cole Roskam, Lukasz Stanek, and Huda Tayob. ''Fugitive Archives'' is not a book about African architecture or its history. It is a book about the role of primary research in the work of the fellows and about how, to centre Africa in histories of modern architecture, they had to develop new ways of finding, seeing, and listening. The sources presented here are starting points for dismantling and expanding existing architectural archives, in which what is considered valuable enough to archive remains dominated by colonial or Western knowledge frameworks. Through varied media and formats, the sources multiply narratives by highlighting diverse actors, practices, and geographies—on and off the continent—implicated in the history of modern African architecture. Rather than suggesting key, but inevitably reductive, themes, this book brings the fellows and their sources into dialogue in three sections that foreground similar methods and challenges to locating, accessing, reading, and constructing otherwise fugitive archives.

Summary:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.
