Calgary is a young city- it has gone from pioneer beginnings to modernity in little over a century, and is well known for its dynamic growth. The Calgary Project examines the forces that produced its urban structure, and the relationship to the quality of urban life, with the intention of helping to guide the development of this prairie metropolis into the twenty-first century.

Built in 1940, the Binning residence captures the spirit of early Modernism in Canada. Binning is equally well known for his lively line drawings and his geometric, non-figurative abstract paintings that often reflect his fascination with boats and maritime activity.

Résumé:
After World War II, concrete became increasingly popular as a building medium around the world. Brutalism, the fashion for plain, heavy design, reigned. Toronto was particularly affected. The city has concrete buildings of all stripes – international landmarks, metropolitan infrastructure and even the single family home. Hundreds of these structures were built, including Viljo Revell’s groundbreaking New City Hall, John Andrew’s seminal Scarborough College and the record-smashing CN Tower. Toronto is a city cast in concrete. However, as architectural fashion has shifted from postmodernism to the glass-and-steel neomodernism of today, these concrete structures have been ignored, misunderstood and, in some cases, demolished. Concrete Toronto acts as a guide to the city’s extensive concrete heritage. A diverse group of experts has been assembled to re-examine the uniqueness and value of these buildings. Included are the insights of many of the original concrete architects, university faculty, local practitioners, journalists and industry experts. Together they explore the past and future of Toronto’s concrete buildings. Included is a wealth of new and archival photos, drawings, interviews, articles, as well as case studies of Toronto’s major concrete architecture.

Résumé:
The story behind Vancouver’s emerging urban form: the buildings, public spaces, extraordinary landscapes and cultural values that have turned the city into the poster-child of North American urbanism. Located at the edge of a continent and at the corresponding edge of national public consciousness, Vancouver has developed in unique and unanticipated ways. It is now emerging as an experiment in contemporary city-making, with international interest in Vancouver as a model of post-industrial urbanism increasing exponentially. Lance Berelowitz explores the links between the city’s seductive natural setting, its turbulent political history and changing civic values, and its planning and design culture. He also makes the startling case that Vancouver is to Canada’s imagination what Los Angeles is to the American — a mythologized place of endless possibilities, while being grounded in an altogether more limited set of socio-economic and environmental limitations. Dream City is richly illustrated with both historical and contemporary photographs of many significant buildings and public spaces, as well as specially commissioned maps that reveal the underlying patterns of growth and change of Canada’s youngest metropolis.

Cet évènement historique est revisité afin d'y inclure le rôle de tout gouvernement quant à l'établissement du concept de "la naissance de la nation". Illustrées avec des photographies, des dessins et des affiches d'époque, cette publication est le volet canadien de l'exposition du Mois de la Photo à Paris 2004 et accompagnera cette même exposition qui sera présentée au Musée McCord dans le cadre du Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2005. En français et anglais. -- This publication accompanies exhibitions in two international photography bienniales. Le Mois de la Photo à Paris 2004 and Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal 2005. The primal image referred to is the photograph recording the completion of Canada's national railway in 1885: "the driving of the last spike". Supported by a wide variety of historical and contemporary documentation, Lavoie shows how this apparently straightforward historical record was used to create the notion of Canada. By looking at the countless reproductions, copies and caricatures of this primal image he dissects the deliberate and ideological construction of nationhood. Profusely illustrated with photographs, film stills, posters and political cartoons from over 100 years. Produced in collaboration with the McCord Museum. In English and French.
