Summary:
Terra Nostra célèbre la cartographie du Canada et permet de partager cette incroyable ressource historique conservée dans les fonds de Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. Cette institution réunit un grand éventail de réalisations cartographiques, qui s'étendent des portulans préparés par les premiers explorateurs aux images aériennes récentes des floes (ou glacesflottantes) de la côte Est. Les cartes du Canada ont servi à plusieurs, et ont rempli de multiples fonctions. Elles ont entretenu, chez les premiers marchands et aventuriers, la promesse de gloire et de fortune ; les chefs d'armée s'en sont servis pour consolider leur mainmise territoriale ; les politiciens ont, grâce aux cartes, légitimé l'empire qu'ils ont établi au pays ; les hommes d'affaires y ont eu recours pour proclamer leur fière appartenance à la communauté ; enfin, les cartes témoignent du type de collectivité que les simples citoyens veulent léguer à leurs enfants. Dépositaires de nos pensées et réflexions, les cartes canadiennes montrent les exploits techniques que notre pays a accomplis, et nous font mesurer l'évolution du savoir géographique. Elles sont une fenêtre ouverte sur le monde. Jeffrey S. Murray, archiviste principal à Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, participe depuis plus de vingt ans à l'acquisition de documents qui composent l'héritage cartographique du Canada. Depuis toujours passionné d'histoire canadienne, il a publié plus de cent articles de revues et plusieurs guides d'archives; il a aussi monté de nombreuses expositions.

Summary:
This book is the first to explore Berke’s remarkable career as an architect, designer, teacher, and writer who has forged a strong and evolving aesthetic. As examined in a series of engaging essays, Berke’s architecture blends tectonic coherence, a keen sensitivity to the intrinsic qualities of materials, and meticulous attention to detail. While all of her work possesses these distinctive attributes, each project is subtly rooted in its context and ennobles the uses specific to that space. Through newly commissioned photographs, twenty-one of Berke’s thought-provoking projects appear here, including the Irwin Union Bank, Yale School of Art, 21c Museum Hotel, and Marianne Boesky Gallery. Also featured are Berke’s reflections on her growing interest in the “here and now”—an approach to architecture intended to counteract the banal placelessness of much of our environment by designing buildings that are intensely bound to and grounded in their sites. Tracy Myers is curator at the Heinz Architectural Center of the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh. Amy Hempel is a fiction writer whose publications include Tumble Home (1997) and The Dog of the Marriage (2005).
