Description:
Series consists of binders of photographic material made by Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) or at his direction. Three of the binders include material made on trips to Mexico, South America and Europe along with photographs of activities in New York. Additionally, the other three binders contain CCA-made copies of originals in the possession of Jane Crawford and owned by the Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark, which document Matta-Clark's early projects. While few of the photographs in these binders relate directly to his finished projects, it is assumed that many of the photographs were made with the intention of using them in future projects. Material in this series was produced between 1943 and 1978. Series contains ring binders and digital photographs.

Sous-série
AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS2
Description:
This subproject series documents the installation of Citibank's signage on the University Place building in Toronto from 1982-1984. The office identified the project number as 8009-8214A. The project consisted of the installation of two Citibank logos on the north and south sides of University Place at the top of the building. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials showing the installation and design, and textual records containing correspondence, planning, air conditioning revisions, and publicity dating from 1981-1986. The CCA also holds materials for project associated with this subproject, which document the design and construction of the University Place Building (AP018.S1.1980.PR09). Subproject materials are viewed separately from this project due to the different project numbers originally assigned by the office.

Cette lecture critique qui s’appuie sur une série de projets représentatifs tirés de la Collection du CCA met en évidence les dynamiques quotidiennes spatiales et de pouvoir, créatrices de ces espaces médians mais rarement reconnues. Au-delà de la restitution, comment les architectes peuvent-ils participer à l’imaginaire d’avenirs plus justes pour les sites de dépossession?

Projet
AP148.S1.1970.PR02
Description:
The project series documents Poli's work on the Interplanetary Architecture project, which was also made into a film by Superstudio directed by Alessandro Poli (the film is not included in the fonds). The project reflects Poli's deep fascination with the moon landing in 1969. Poli uses this major media event as a catalyst for thinking about a new approach to architecture and tools for design, including the idea that film and the movie camera should become part of the toolset. The project also seems to be in some way a response to Epoch magazine's challenge for a "Primo concorso di architettura nello spazio" (the first architectural competition in space), and includes much imagery and textual references to a new road or architectural links between the earth and other planets, including an earth moon highway. In his storyboard, Poli also makes reference to his earlier Piper project, and some imagery features wheels and an amusement park. The Interplanetary Architecture project was exhibited by Superstudio in Rome in 1972 and featured in "Casabella" magazine in April 1972 (no. 364). The project was also featured in the 2010 CCA exhibition "Other Space Odysseys". In the accompanying CCA publication, Poli describes this project as "a voyage off earthbound routes in quest of architecture unfettered by the urban nightmare, by induced needs or by planning as the only tool for regulating and solving the world's problems" (Poli quoted in Borasi and Zardini, 2010, 110). Poli's work on this project is deeply tied to the Zeno project, which was also featured in this exhibition and is included in this fonds (see AP148.S1.1972.PR01). For the Zeno project, Poli envisioned a dialogue between astronaut Buzz Aldrin and an Italian peasant, Zeno of Riparbella. Poli felt that these two shared a similarity in that both their homes were isolated capsules, one that provided a lens from which to see the rest of the world and understand their place in it. The material in the series includes numerous photomontages and collages of astronauts in space, as well as drawings of plantery shapes and structures. There are also texts, some of which include calculations of distances and diameters of planets, as well as notebooks and sketchbooks, many of which Poli included in a folder he entitled "Storyboard." The series also includes an unsent letter from Poli to Adolfo Natalini which describes how, after the moon landing, everything - the planet, the moon, the stars - is architecture, and that this will necessitate the need for new design tools, such as the movie camera. Some works are signed Alessandro Poli-Superstudio.

AP032.S4
Description:
This series contains material on publications and exhibitions concerning Goldsmith work and career. Papers and photographs record the creation of the book Myron Goldsmith: Buildings and Concepts, edited by Swiss architect Werner Blaser and published by Rizzoli Publications in 1987. The updating of Goldsmith's theoretical views are apparent in the manuscript drafts and revisions of his two essays for the book - "The Effects of Scale," reworked from his I.I.T. master's thesis, and the newly composed "Structural Architecture." This series also contains documents concerning retrospective exhibitions on Goldsmith originating at Harvard University (1982), and at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (1991). This material includes papers, correspondence, exhibition panels and wall text panels. The inclusion of periodicals and clippings on the architect's work, and the work of his students, supply a good bibliographic background on the architect.
