Résumé:
124 minutes, color stereo in french with english subtitles. In Play Time, Tati's character, M. Hulot, and a group of American tourists attempt to navigate a futuristic Paris constructed of straight lines, modernist glass and steel high-rise buildings, multi-lane roadways, and cold, artificial furnishings. In this environment, only the irrepressible nonconformity of human nature and an occasional appreciation for the good old days breathe life into an otherwise sterile urban lifestyle. Modern industrial technologies, accepted as necessary by society, are represented by Tati as obstructions to daily life and an interference to natural human interaction.

Résumé:
Rappel historique des premières constructions des Autochtones et de celles des pionniers qui étaient en harmonie avec leur environnement. Ce film, réalisé trois ans après la crise pétrolière de 1973, présente quelques innovations en planification urbaine illustrées à partir de l'exemple des communautés minières de Fermont au Quéébec et de Leaf Rapids au Manitoba. Ces villes ont été planifiées en fonction du climat nordique et de l'utilisation minimale de l'automobile. Du côté innovation architecturale, on voit la construction de la maison solaire Provident House à Aurora en Ontario, ainsi que la maison The Ark à l'Île-du-Prince-Edouard qui permettra un mode de vie autarcique.

Résumé:
When William Thorsell assumes command of Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, he moves quickly to rejuvenate the beloved building on Bloor Street. As former editor of one of Canada's leading newspapers, Thorsell envisions an iconic public building— a bold gesture that will inject a shot of architectural amphetamine into the staid and sensible veins of Canada's biggest burg. Who to trust with such a venture? Enter Daniel Libeskind. More than a celebrity architect, Libeskind is a global brand linked to some of the world's most prestigious building projects. As Libeskind's unusual crystalline structure rises into the Toronto sky, Thorsell and Libeskind dance a high-tension tango. Budgets are blown. Timetables trashed. Citizens outraged. Tuned to contemporary debates on public architecture, The Museum charts the progress of Thorsell's grand scheme in an entertaining tale of art, ego and steel beams.
