Résumé:
How do photographers select, order, and display their images to make visual arguments about built and natural environments? Conceived as part of a long-term project at the CCA to examine the contemporary role of photography in the study and practice of architecture, The Lives of Documents — Photography as Project prompts reflections on the idea of the documentary as an embedded quality of photography. Tracing the research materials, archiving practices, and production processes of diverse authors, photographers Bas Princen and Stefano Graziani highlight a selection of photographic projects that model our visible world by investigating notions of landscape and its destruction, global infrastructure, intimacy and interiority, and conditions of urban and domestic space and life. This publication follows Princen and Graziani’s travels to understand how artists use photography as a tool for their artistic research and how they conceive of their projects as evolving and expanding explorations. Bringing together studio visit images, artist interviews, and Princen and Graziani’s own reproduction of photographic projects, it emphasizes how photography reveals and expresses lived and built realities in ways that traditional architectural tools fail to represent or communicate.

Résumé:
Comment les photographes sélectionnent-ils, composent-ils et présentent-ils leurs images afin de construire des arguments visuels sur l’environnement bâti et naturel? Conçue dans le cadre d’un projet à long terme du CCA visant à examiner le rôle contemporain de la photographie dans l’étude et la pratique de l’architecture, Les vies des documents – La photographie en tant que projet interroge l’idée selon laquelle la qualité de documentaire est intrinsèque à la photographie. En s’appuyant sur les pratiques d’archivages, le matériel de recherche et les processus de productions de divers auteurs et autrices, les photographes Bas Princen et Stefano Graziani mettent en lumière une sélection de projets photographiques modelant notre monde visible en examinant les notions de paysage et de sa destruction, d’infrastructure globale, d’intimité et d’intériorité, et des conditions spatiales de la vie urbaine et domestique. Cette publication suit Princen et Graziani au fil de voyages visant à comprendre comment les artistes utilisent la photographie comme outil de recherche artistique et conçoivent leurs projets comme des explorations évolutives. Rassemblant des images de visites de studios, des entrevues d’artistes et la reproduction de projets photographiques par Princen et Graziani, elle met l’accent sur la façon dont la photographie révèle et exprime les réalités vécues là où les outils architecturaux traditionnels n’y parviennent pas toujours.

Résumé:
A collection of primary sources chosen by the research fellows ''Centring Africa: Postcolonial Perspectives on Architecture'', Doreen Adengo, Dele Adeyemo, Warebi Gabriel Brisibe and Ramota Obagah-Stephen, Rachel Lee and Monika Motylinska, Ikem Stanley Okoye, Cole Roskam, Lukasz Stanek, and Huda Tayob. ''Fugitive Archives'' is not a book about African architecture or its history. It is a book about the role of primary research in the work of the fellows and about how, to centre Africa in histories of modern architecture, they had to develop new ways of finding, seeing, and listening. The sources presented here are starting points for dismantling and expanding existing architectural archives, in which what is considered valuable enough to archive remains dominated by colonial or Western knowledge frameworks. Through varied media and formats, the sources multiply narratives by highlighting diverse actors, practices, and geographies—on and off the continent—implicated in the history of modern African architecture. Rather than suggesting key, but inevitably reductive, themes, this book brings the fellows and their sources into dialogue in three sections that foreground similar methods and challenges to locating, accessing, reading, and constructing otherwise fugitive archives.

Résumé:
In this new volume of the CCA Singles presenting the Meanwhile in Japan conversations, Toyo Ito sat with a group of young architects and academics to discuss how his early work of the 1970s and 1980s took a radical approach to intervening in a newly emerged consumerist culture in Tokyo. As architects elsewhere in the world sought to break through the conventions of modernism, Ito attempted to bring new significance to architecture in a rapidly transforming city, with particular attention to the lives of women in urban society. Led by Koji Ichikawa, the conversation included Mikio Wakabayashi, Kozo Kadowaki, Yutaro Muraji, Leo Tanishige, Mariko Terada, Naohiko Hino, Erika Nakagawa, and Tomoharu Makabe.

Résumé:
Aglaia Konrad’s work often takes the form of a book, each conceived as an edited archive of the ways in which she uses photography to investigate urban landscapes. Two of her book projects were part of "The lives of documents—Photography as project", the project curated by Stefano Graziani and Bas Princen, and it was while putting this exhibition together that Konrad shared her enthusiasm after researching the work of five women that conceived several residential neighbourhoods in Warsaw after the Second World War and redefined the city as a green haven. If the two book projects she presented in our exhibition—Atlas (2000) and Copy Cities (2003–2004)—brought together multiple fragments of her extensive and systematic documentary work on cities, her survey of the work of Alina Scholtz, Barbara Brukalska, Halina Skibniewska, Helena Syrkus, and Zofia Hansen leads now to a travel diary that reflects on the role of architecture and landscape architecture in defining places of bonding and belonging.

Résumé:
The 1960s and 1970s were the heroic age of the architectural "little magazine". During this period even commercial periodicals were willing to include theoretical discourse as they catered to a profession confronted by radical social change. These essays by nine international architectural scholars are from the Proceedings of the International Colloquium held in 2004 at the Canadian Centre for Architecture. They enrich our understanding of a format which monopolized the space for professional debate about what mattered most in architecture at the time. These contributions give architectural periodicals a central place in the historical debates on the period with particular emphasis on material production, intellectual contribution, and critical reception. Six essays in English and three essays in French with a bilingual introduction. Neuf historiens en architecture examinent l’architecture radicale dans la presse parallèle des années 1960 et 1970. Ces périodiques novateurs ont été marqués par les idées expérimentales et les designs avant-gardistes qui ont grandement influencées le discours architectural de la période. Actes du colloque tenu en 2004 au Centre Canadien d'Architecture. Six textes en anglais, trois textes en français avec une introduction bilingue.

Résumé:
Quand le numérique marque-t-il l’architecture? Quelles sont les conditions ayant poussé les architectes à intégrer des outils numériques à leur pratique? Tout au long du programme de recherche Archéologie du numérique, le CCA a recueilli les documents d’archives de vingt-cinq projets réalisés entre la fin des années 1980 et le début des années 2000 afin de comprendre cette période en tant qu’origine du numérique. Cependant, dès lors que l’on définit le numérique comme un état rendu possible par les fondements conceptuels des médias numériques et non nécessairement par ces médias eux-mêmes, les contours de ce moment numérique – la date et les circonstances de son commencement – deviennent moins clairs. Il existe huit millions d’histoires des origines du numérique en architecture. Ce livre rassemble quatorze d’entre elles pour former une chronologie des réponses à la question suivante : « Quand le numérique marque-t-il l’architecture? » Les propos présentés ici offrent une analyse des changements particuliers qu’a subis la pensée de l’architecture, du bâti et de la ville, ainsi que des déplacements technologiques qui ont résulté de cette évolution. Cet ouvrage marque ainsi tout à la fois le point final du programme Archéologie du numérique, et une ouverture vers de nouveaux horizons autour du numérique en architecture. Et si le fait de poser la question « Quand le numérique marque-t-il l’architecture? » peut susciter en réponse huit millions d’histoires, alors on imagine aisément qu’elle pourrait aussi engendrer huit millions de digressions et de ramifications, dont chacune explorerait des cas différents ou des géographies singulières – comme une sorte de Tristram Shandy du numérique, qui se développerait à mesure que le CCA continuerait de construire ses archives numériques et de les rendre toujours plus accessibles aux chercheurs. Un tel roman de digressions pourrait fournir la matière de futurs projets de recherche et se prolonger dans l’étude de nouvelles archives, pour le plus grand plaisir des lecteurs.

Résumé:
When is the digital in architecture? What are the conditions that led architects to integrate digital tools into their practices? Over the course of the Archaeology of the Digital research program, the CCA has collected the archival records of twenty-five projects realized between the late 1980s and the early 2000s in order to understand this moment as a point of origin for the digital. But if we take care to identify the digital as a condition that is made possible by the conceptual foundations of digital media and not necessarily by digital media itself, the boundaries of the digital moment—when it began and under what circumstances—become less clear. There are eight million stories of the origins of the digital in architecture, and this book brings together fourteen of them in a chronology of responses to the question of when the digital is in architecture. The arguments address specific changes in ways of thinking about architecture, building, and cities, as well as the shifts in technology that resulted from these changes, marking both a capstone to Archaeology of the Digital and the beginning of an investigation of other beginnings of the digital in architecture. Asking a question like When is the digital in architecture? can produce eight million stories in response, and eight million digressions and redirections that narrow in focus and change geographies, producing a Tristram Shandy of the digital as the CCA continues to build its digital archive and makes it increasingly accessible to researchers. If this novel of digressions is distributed across future research projects and extended with studies of new archival material, so much the better for the reader, in our opinion.
