Summary:
Cet ouvrage déballe l’exhaustive collection Gordon Matta-Clark au CCA (CP138), en l’ouvrant à des interprétations provisoires issues de points de vue différents. Yann Chateigné réorganise la bibliothèque de Matta-Clark pour y recueillir les traces – écrites et dessinées – de sa pensée au travers de champs d’investigation structurants, de l’alchimie à la psychanalyse. Rassemblant des heures de séquences de film rejetées, Hila Peleg remet en question la notion de documentation et ramène à la vue les contextes physiques et sociaux – l’espace relationnel – des interventions de Matta-Clark. Et à partir de centaines de photographies de voyage, Kitty Scott dresse, en contrepoint aux oeuvres de Matta-Clark, un panorama de ses notes visuelles sur le monde qui l’entoure. En mettant au premier plan des éléments apparemment secondaires de la collection, ces études manifestent une approche exploratoire des archives, dans laquelle la sélection, la présentation et l’écriture relèvent d’un processus de recherche continue. Plus qu’une synthèse, CP138 Gordon Matta-Clark : Les archives revues par Yann Chateigné, Hila Peleg et Kitty Scott propose d’élargir la portée de ce qui constitue l’oeuvre de Matta-Clark et ainsi le terrain physique et intellectuel dans lequel elle se situe.

Summary:
When is the digital in architecture? What are the conditions that led architects to integrate digital tools into their practices? Over the course of the Archaeology of the Digital research program, the CCA has collected the archival records of twenty-five projects realized between the late 1980s and the early 2000s in order to understand this moment as a point of origin for the digital. But if we take care to identify the digital as a condition that is made possible by the conceptual foundations of digital media and not necessarily by digital media itself, the boundaries of the digital moment—when it began and under what circumstances—become less clear. There are eight million stories of the origins of the digital in architecture, and this book brings together fourteen of them in a chronology of responses to the question of when the digital is in architecture. The arguments address specific changes in ways of thinking about architecture, building, and cities, as well as the shifts in technology that resulted from these changes, marking both a capstone to Archaeology of the Digital and the beginning of an investigation of other beginnings of the digital in architecture. Asking a question like When is the digital in architecture? can produce eight million stories in response, and eight million digressions and redirections that narrow in focus and change geographies, producing a Tristram Shandy of the digital as the CCA continues to build its digital archive and makes it increasingly accessible to researchers. If this novel of digressions is distributed across future research projects and extended with studies of new archival material, so much the better for the reader, in our opinion.

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.
