Summary:
In the 1970s, early in his career, Appelt first saw the spectacular cantilevered steel bridge, a marvel of 19th-century engineering spanning over 8,000 feet and still in regular use today. Fascinated by its kinetic and cinematic appearance, when he was invited to reflect on the works in the CCA’s collection, Appelt took the opportunity to revisit the bridge. He reframed(...)

Summary:
In the 1970s, early in his career, Appelt first saw the spectacular cantilevered steel bridge, a marvel of 19th-century engineering spanning over 8,000 feet and still in regular use today. Fascinated by its kinetic and cinematic appearance, when he was invited to reflect on the works in the CCA’s collection, Appelt took the opportunity to revisit the bridge. He reframed it in light of his long-standing preoccupation with the analysis of architectural constructs in spatial and temporal terms, producing 312 black-and-white 35mm film stills as well as sound recordings. Eight large-scale photographic panels will be presented at the CCA, each comprising a montage of 39 of the film stills edited so as to propose a series of horizontal and vertical readings of the bridge. A selection of albums and photographs from the CCA’s Forth Bridge archives will also be presented accompanied by drawings from Appelt. The beautifully produced publication includes essays by Dieter Appel, Hubertus von Amelunxen, and Louise Désy, as well as a forword by Phyllis Lambert. Au début de sa carrière, dans les années 1970, Appelt avait vu pour la première fois ce spectaculaire pont cantilever en acier, une merveille de l’ingénierie du XIXe siècle, encore en service aujourd’hui, qui s’étend sur 8 000 pieds. Fasciné par son aspect cinétique et cinématique, Appelt a profité de cette invitation pour livrer une réflexion sur les œuvres de la collection du CCA et offrir ainsi une relecture du pont. Fidèle à son intérêt de longue date pour l’analyse spatiale et temporelle des constructions architecturales, il l’a recadré et a produit 312 photos de film 35 mm noir et blanc ainsi que des enregistrements sonores. Huit panneaux photographiques grand format seront exposés au CCA, chacun comportant un montage de 39 photos de films agencées de façon à proposer une série de lectures horizontales et verticales du pont. On pourra aussi voir une sélection d’albums et de photographies des archives du Forth Bridge du CCA, accompagnés de dessins d’Appelt. La publication contient des essais de Dieter Appelt, Hubertus von Amelunxen, et Louise Désy ainsi qu'une préface de Phyllis Lambert.

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:
The teachings of Mies van der Rohe and his respect for the effects of space and material has had a great influence on the American architect and artist Gene Summers. Thanks to the technology of the day and Summers’ own creative talents, he was able to help transform Mies’ visions into built structures. For 16 years Gene Summers was a close colleague of Mies, heading his office and working with him on many projects including the Seagram Building in New York, Bacardi’s office buildings in Cuba and Mexico, and Krupps’ offices in Essen. Also working independently, Summers created projects for C.F Murphy Associates, such as the McCormick Convention Centre and the Malcolm X College in Chicago. Later with Ridgway Limited, he was responsible for the the acclaimed restoration of the Biltmore Hotels in Los Angeles. Familiar with bronze as a building material, Summers used his knowledge to design elegant furniture and household objects before devoting himself entirely to producing artworks using this medium. This volume is the first presentation of Gene Summers’ architectural and artistic work, surveying the many areas in which he was active. Phyllis Lambert, founder of the Canadian Centre for Architecture president of the International Confederation of Architectural Museums, provides an enlightening introduction to his work.

Summary:
"L'idée de la grande ville : L'architecture moderne d'Europe centrale, 1890 - 1937" examine pour la première fois l'explosion d'idées neuves en architecture qui a marqué les dernières décennies de l'empire des Habsbourg et les premières années aventureuses des nouvelles républiques d'Europe centrale. Véritable champ de bataille culturel entre différentes traditions et aspirations nationales, religieuses, ethniques et linguistiques, la région n'en était pas moins le foyer d'un profond idéal cosmopolite. S'intéressant à la ville en tant que modèle de société et milieu favorable à l'épanouissement d'une vie culturelle intense, le livre permet de découvrir une histoire remarquable où se conjuguent invention, expérimentation, sophistication et imagination - l'histoire d'architectes qui ont voulu exprimer un sens nouveau de l'urbanité et de la modernité. Ce catalogue, sous la direction d’Eve Blau et de Monika Platzer, rassemble des essais des deux directrices, ainsi que de Charles S. Maier, Moritz Csáky, Renate Banik-Schweitzer, Friedrich Achleitner, Petr Krajci et Rostislav Òvácha, Iain Boyd Whyte, Aleksander Laslo, Ihor Zuk, Jacek Purchla, Ileana Pintilie, András Ferkai, Breda Mihelic et Andrew Herscher. L'avant-propos est de Phyllis Lambert et Kurt W. Forster du Centre Canadien d'Architecture, Deborah Marrow du Getty Research Institute de Los Angeles et Rudolf Wran du ministère autrichien de l'éducation et des Affaires culturelles.
