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.

Summary:
Photographie et architecture: 1839-1939 regroupe des oeuvres qui montrent divers aspects de l'histoire de l'architecture vus à travers la photographie, et de l'histoire de la photographie vus à travers l'architecture. Cette sélection de cent quarante-huit photographies originales de la collection du Centre Canadien d'Architecture démontre la grande richesse du sujet, qui comprend les origines de la photographie en Angleterre et en France, les premières expéditions accompagnées de photographes qui ramenèrent des images des monuments les plus célèbres, de la Méditerreanée jusqu'à l'Etrême-Orient, enfin les grands documentaires photographiques du dix-neuvième siècle. Des oeuvres de la renaissance américaine en photographie, au cours des années 1920 et 1930, explorent sous divers angles la verticalité de la ville moderne. La dernière partie du livre est consacrée à des oeuvres qui reflètent les idées architecturales développées en Allemagne entre les deux guerres mondiales.

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.
