Summary:
Forced to find beauty in mediocrity, poetry in pragmatism, history in the absence of monuments and the future in the past, Crimson has been shaped by the experience of living and working in Rotterdam, the city that never thinks. Over the past seven years they have produced research projects, plans and initiatives that range from purely historical studies, book reviews and critiques of contemporary architecture to exhibitions, panoramas and urban planning schemes. For them, history is not a clear-cut period in the past but a total panoramic experience in which mythology, truth, writing, building and demolition intermingle. The Crimson historians don’t keep their distance, they dive right in. Too Blessed To Be Depressed is a coming-of-age book, one that shows the development of a practice and an attitude towards the outside world based not on analysis and simplification but on an endless quest for all the narratives, contradi ctions, and obsessions that make the city what it is. It presents an initial selection of work by Crimson divided among three themes: History (what to make of it, how to deal with it), Obsession (theirs along with those of others) and Top Down (the impact of large-scale infrastructural and other interventions on the city).

À cet effet, l'historien-conservateur Frédéric Smith redonne vie aux personnages qui ont créé et habité la somptueuse demeure depuis le XIXe siècle. La richesse de l'iconographie illustre et met bien en contexte le développement historique, politique, social et économique des 150 années pendant lesquelles ce lieu unique a tenu une place privilégiée dans l'histoire du Québec. Bien plus qu'une histoire de Cataraqui, le présent ouvrage se veut une ouverture sur un segment de notre passé qui mérite d'être souligné. Dernier témoin intact de l'art de vivre de la bourgeoisie anglophone dans le Québec du siècle dernier, Cataraqui devient une fenêtre par laquelle le lecteur peut explorer des facettes méconnues de l'histoire de la Vieille Capitale.

Summary:
"Substance over Spectacle" presents the best and brightest architectural work in Canada in the last ten years, providing a representative sample of Canadian architectural practice since the early nineties, and demonstrating a specific Canadian sensibility that is unlike any architectural trend elsewhere in the world. The book also explores issues of viability, sustainability, community, and utility as they relate to the Canadian architectural experience. Included is the work of twenty-five architects from every area of the country, each represented by an installation of their own design and construction. In addition to photographs of the finished projects, "Substance over Spectacle" also features images of models and architectural drawings, together with analytical/critical text demonstrating the architectural ideas embedded in the work. Five essays deal with different aspects of contemporary Canadian architecture, written by some of Canada’s leading thinkers on architecture: George Baird, Sherry McKay, Marco Polo, Georges Adamczyk, and Andrew Gruft. Publication of the book coincides with an exhibition of the same name mounted by the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia, in April 2005, during the international conference of the Society of Architectural Historians, which is taking place at UBC. "Substance over Spectacle", the first national critical overview of Canadian architecture in some eighteen years, offers fresh new perspectives on how our architecture defines us as we approach the first mid-decade of the new century.

Summary:
The first section of this publication reproduces an extensive selection from the variegated posters and programmes that Reitsma designed since 1990 for 84 different DNO productions. Entire pages from several programmes have been reprinted on the original paper. The second half presents earlier and other work by this designer made for other clients, predominantly from the institutional and cultural field. This includes exhibition catalogues as well as books on architecture and photography. This graphic diptych is separated by a text collage composed of statements by and about Reitsma. Contributions by art critic Paul Hefting and dramaturge Klaus Bertisch of De Nederlandse Opera, views expressed by fellow designers, quotes from the professional literature, newspaper articles and- last but not least- Reitsma’s own opinions provide a lively picture of the world of this graphic designer. The reader is given a good impression of the development in Reitsma’s recognizable work and the ideas from which it sprung.
