More than half a century earlier, Peruvian photographer Martín Chambi had taken his famous series of portraits of the(...)

Projets et réalisations
Projets et réalisations
Reference number:
AP066.S2
Description:
Issue de la pratique professionnelle de Jacques Rousseau, cette série regroupe les documents illustrant quatre-vingt-trois projets et réalisations conçus, soit de façon autonome ou en collaboration, entre 1973 et 1997. Ces projets se distinguent autant par leur degré d'achèvement (de l'esquisse préliminaire au dessin de construction), par leur échelle (du mobilier au projet urbain), que par leur programme (commercial, domestique, social). Dans l'ensemble, tous les thèmes qui sont explorés, tels l'architecture du bar, le décor de la boutique, l'habitation individuelle et collective, le lieu de travail, et l'image publique des institutions, s'ancrent dans une pensée spéculative sur la ville comme processus de reconstruction et de refondation. Parmi les quatre-vingt-trois projets, vingt datent d'avant 1980, date à laquelle Jacques Rousseau est devenu membre de l'Ordre des architectes du Québec. Ces projets ont donc été réalisés soit pour le compte d'agences pour lesquelles Jacques Rousseau travaillait ou effectuait son stage professionnel, soit à titre officieux en offrant vraisemblablement ses services à ses connaissances. Dans ce dernier cas, il s'agit alors de projets de plus petite envergure pour des rénovations ou agrandissements de résidences. Par ailleurs, un certain nombre de nouveaux projets n'ont pas abouti et sont constitués seulement de dossiers préliminaires qui nous renseignent toutefois sur les démarches entreprises par l'architecte, parfois de sa propre initiative, pour amorcer des projets. La variété de ces derniers montre les multiples intérêts de Jacques Rousseau. Toutefois, trois d'entre eux émergent de sa pratique : l'architecture de bar et de restaurant, le logement collectif coopératif et la morphologie urbaine pour lesquels il consacre de nombreux projets et études. On trouvera aussi d'ailleurs dans la série 9 - Enseignement des documents relatifs à ses travaux sur la morphologie urbaine.
