Summary:
The massive reshaping of French cities that took place between 1958 and 1981 is commonly regarded as a unique episode in which modernist ideals were tested on an unprecedented scale. Yet the history of postwar French modernism has never fully accounted for the influence of one of architecture’s most important institutional patrons, the French Communist Party (PCF).(...)

Summary:
The massive reshaping of French cities that took place between 1958 and 1981 is commonly regarded as a unique episode in which modernist ideals were tested on an unprecedented scale. Yet the history of postwar French modernism has never fully accounted for the influence of one of architecture’s most important institutional patrons, the French Communist Party (PCF). Drawing political theory and architectural history into conversation, Vanessa Grossman probes the shifting but enduring alliance between modern architecture and the PCF in the aftermath of the political crisis of 1958, prompted by the Algerian War of Independence and Charles de Gaulle’s rise to power.

Based in Los Angeles, Tom Wiscombe heads an internationally recognised architecture practice, known for its powerful massing, graphic qualities, and tectonic inventiveness. His team’s approach stems from their theory of the flat ontology of architecture, which imagines architecture – and the world – as a set of discrete, lively entities that exist democratically on a flat(...)

Summary:
Based in Los Angeles, Tom Wiscombe heads an internationally recognised architecture practice, known for its powerful massing, graphic qualities, and tectonic inventiveness. His team’s approach stems from their theory of the flat ontology of architecture, which imagines architecture – and the world – as a set of discrete, lively entities that exist democratically on a flat plane. In this imposing monograph, the practice challenges the discipline of architecture to reimagine its place in contemporary culture. A body of work produced over the last decade is presented as part of a constellation of objects, ideas, precedents, and references and articulated with humour and clarity.

Canada is situated geographically, historically, and culturally between old empires (Great Britain and France) and a more recent one (the United States), as well as on the terrain of First Nations communities. Poised between historical and metaphorical empires and operating within the conditions of incomplete modernity and economic and cultural dependency, Canada has generated a body of cultural criticism and theory that offers unique insights into the dynamics of both center and periphery. The Reader brings together for the first time in one volume recent writing in Canadian cultural studies and work by significant Canadian cultural analysts of the postwar era.
