"Au vol d'oiseau, voici l'île Sainte-Hélène à son état naturel, il y a deux ans, avant le début des travaux de récupération qui ont presque triplé la superficie afin d'y loger l'Exposition universelle de 1967. Le magnifique parc boisé restera tel quel pour l'agrément des visiteurs. / Air view of Ile Sainte-Hélène, as of July 23, 1963, just before work began on the enlargement of the island to provide the ground for Expo 67. View is from the upstream end of the island. Stipulation in the program for building Expo 67 is the condition that the original Ile Sainte-Helene public park be left untouched."--Description.

Maison Coloniale
Maison Coloniale
Reference number:
AP066.S2.D19
Description:
Le dossier documente le projet de construction de la Maison Coloniale, une habitation associée à un atelier d'architecture et un hall d'exposition, situé au 4333 avenue Coloniale, à Montréal, Québec. Les matériaux utilisés pour réaliser cette construction sont le béton armé, l'acier et le bois. Le budget alloué pour ce projet était de 300 000$ et la superficie est de 340 mètres carrés. Aussi, le projet s'est mérité le Prix d'architecture du Gouverneur général du Canada. Le dossier contient des dessins, des reprographies, des photographies, des documents textuels, des maquettes et un négatif. Description du projet par l'architecte: "En concevant la Maison Coloniale, entre autres choses qui s'y trouvent inscrites, j'ai pensé à l'état des métiers. La solidarité qui nous lie est tellement ténue, les savoir-faire se déplacent, les langages s'autonomisent. Ici la structure de béton n'aura pour but structural que de survivre à sa peine : le squelette est dehors, qu'est-ce que cela veut nous dire? Partout la division, la séparation des éléments. La juxtaposition, la superposition et la répétition forment un langage dans le langage. Tout y est contact de points et de surface, d'appuis et d'ancrages. Le squelette est dehors, le corps est dedans. Qu'est-ce que cela veut nous dire? La Maison nous dit la nature de notre côtoiement. Elle nous rappelle nos liens possibles et nous apprend qu'à force de séparation, tout s'unit. Elle nous indique la distance qu'il nous reste à franchir pour se toucher et s'émouvoir. Elle est comme vous et moi, un peu résistante et prête à tout donner. Elle nous dit la convivialité et nous rappelle nos moyens d'humains. Elle nous rappelle que c'est nous qui l'avons faite!" Jacques Rousseau, "Éthique et tact", dans Architecture, éthique et technologie, édité par Louise Pelletier et Alberto Pérez-Gómez, McGill-Queen's University Press, Montréal, 1994, p. 137-150.
