CIAM IV, CIRPAC and London
AP112.S1
Description:
The series contains seven bands of negatives, divided into groups of two and three negatives a band. The first five bands document the 4th Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) held on board the SS Patris II from 29 July to 13 August 1933, as it travelled between Marseilles, France, and Athens, Greece, and then returned. The conference, themed "The Functional City", presented and discussed the results of an analysis of more than thirty cities, and sought to establish new principles in urban planning. Sise participated at the conference as the Canadian delegate and presented the city of Los Angeles, California. The resolutions adopted at the conference were published for the first time in November under the title "Constatations du quatrième CIAM". These findings formed the base of the Charte d'Athenès written by Le Corbusier in 1941. The negatives show some of the participants of the conference including: Le Corbusier (1887-1965), from the French delegation; László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), from the German delegation, who was in charge of filming the presentations; Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), representing Finland; and the painter Fernand Léger (1881-1955), also from the French delegatation, who presented on the importance of colour in architecture. The two other bands of negatives provide evidence of Sise's attendance at Comité International pour la Résolution des Problèmes d'Architecture Contemporaine (CIRPAC), held in May 1934 at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London, England, to establish the program for the next CIAM (1). They also show his meeting in London with Georges Braque during the summer of the same year. (1) Eric Mumford states in "The CIAM Discourse on Urbanism, 1928-1960" that Le Corbusier did not participate at this conference (p. 92). _____________________ La série contient des bandes de négatifs, qui contiennent soit deux, soit trois images, et sont au nombre de sept. Les cinq premières bandes documentent le IVe Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) tenu à bord du SS Patris II du 29 juillet au 13 août 1933, entre Marseilles, France et Athènes, Grèce, à Athènes même, et sur le même bateau de croisière durant le retour à Marseilles. Le Congrès, qui se déroulait autour du thème de "The functional city", consistait en la communication des résultats de l'analyse de plus de trente villes et l'objectif visait à établir de nouveaux principes d'urbanisme. Hazen Sise participait au Congrès à titre de délégué du Canada et présenta la ville de Los Angeles, Californie. Les résolutions prises lors du Congrès ont été publiées pour la première fois au mois de novembre suivant sous le titre de "Constatations du quatrième CIAM". Ces "Constatations" seront ensuite à la base de la Charte d'Athènes que Le Corbusier rédigea en 1941. Les clichés montrent quelques-uns des participants au Congrès, dont Le Corbusier (1887-1965), de la délégation française, alors qu'il faisait une communication; László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), de la délégation allemande, à qui on avait confié la tâche de filmer les exposés; Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), représentant la Finlande; et le peintre Fernand Léger (1881-1955), délégué de la France, qui présenta un discours à l'attention des architectes au sujet de l'importance de la couleur en architecture. Les deux autres bandes de négatifs témoignent de la présence de Sise au (Comité International pour la Résolution des Problèmes d'Architecture Contemporaine (CIRPAC) à Londres, Angleterre, tenu en mai 1934 au Royal Institute of British Architects pour établir le programme du prochain CIAM (1) et de sa rencontre à Londres avec Georges Braque durant l'été de la même année. (1) Eric Mumford affirme cependant dans "The CIAM Discourse on Urbanism, 1928-1960" que Le Corbusier n'a pas participé à ce congrès (p. 92).

CD041.S1
Description:
This series documents eight projects that Eva Hollo Vecsei worked on while at the firm Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold & Sise Architect (Arcop). Vecsei worked for the firm from 1959 to 1971 and was made an associate in 1964. She was the designer in charge of several Massey Award winning projects such as: Saint Gerard Magella Church, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec (1960-1963); Place Bonaventure, Montréal, Québec (circa 1963-1969); Student Union building, McGill University, Montréal, Québec (1965); and the Life science building, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia (1971). This series includes documents related to the following projects: Tifereth Jerusalem Synagogue, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1959-1971); Saint Gerard Magella Church, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec (1960-1963); Centre civique Chomedey, Chomedey [now Laval], Québec (1962-1965); Place des Arts, Montréal, Québec (1963); Place Bonaventure, Montréal, Québec (circa 1963-1969); Student Union building, McGill University, Montréal, Québec (1965); and the Life science building, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia (1971). Collection material in this series was produced between 1959 and 2017. Documenting the series are photographs, presentation drawings, slides, publications, clippings, correspondence, and digital material (mainly photographs and versions of a filmed interview). Records are predominantly related to Place Bonaventure, a large multi-functional complex comprised of exhibition and convention halls, an international trade centre, shopping concourses, offices, and a 400-room hotel with rooftop gardens. Mostly constructed of concrete, the building is connected to an underground pedestrian network and the Place Bonaventure metro station.
