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.

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:

''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.

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.

Architecture en uniforme ouvre de nouvelles perspectives sur l'histoire architecturale de la guerre, rendant compte des épisodes qui se sont succédé entre le bombardement de Guernica en 1937 et celui d'Hiroshima en 1945, et qui ont conduit à la suprématie définitive des langages modernes. Les thèmes parcourus, comme le rôle des villes dans la guerre aérienne, les nouveaux bâtiments des usines, la participation directe de l'architecture à la guerre, les mégaprojets et les développements dans la vie civile après la guerre, révèlent l'ampleur de la contribution des architectes à tous les aspects de la mobilisation totale de ces années douloureuses.

Architecture in Uniform offers a new perspective on the architectural history of the war, documenting a series of episodes that took place between the bombings of Guernica in 1937 and Hiroshima in 1945, leading to the definitive supremacy of modernism in architecture. It discusses topics such as the role of cities in the air war, the new buildings erected for industrial production, architecture's participation in actual warfare, and wartime mega-projects and post-war developments in the civilian sphere, revealing the extent of the contribution made by architects to all aspects of the mobilisation that characterised the war years.
