Résumé:
What role can history play in contemporary architecture practice? ''Besides, History: Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers, David Van Severen'' invites three architects to reread, redraw, translate, and appropriate from the past and from each other in order to construct relationships between and meanings out of a constellation of references. In their conversations, history becomes a tool that can be used in production, rather than just an object of study. The book features newly produced plans, sections, models, and perspectives for projects by Go Hasegawa and OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, juxtaposed with reference material chosen from the CCA Collection. Introduced and annotated by the architects, these images form a visual manifesto for a unique relationship to history.

Résumé:
Photographie et architecture: 1839-1939 regroupe des oeuvres qui montrent divers aspects de l'histoire de l'architecture vus à travers la photographie, et de l'histoire de la photographie vus à travers l'architecture. Cette sélection de cent quarante-huit photographies originales de la collection du Centre Canadien d'Architecture démontre la grande richesse du sujet, qui comprend les origines de la photographie en Angleterre et en France, les premières expéditions accompagnées de photographes qui ramenèrent des images des monuments les plus célèbres, de la Méditerreanée jusqu'à l'Etrême-Orient, enfin les grands documentaires photographiques du dix-neuvième siècle. Des oeuvres de la renaissance américaine en photographie, au cours des années 1920 et 1930, explorent sous divers angles la verticalité de la ville moderne. La dernière partie du livre est consacrée à des oeuvres qui reflètent les idées architecturales développées en Allemagne entre les deux guerres mondiales.

Résumé:
This book unpacks the comprehensive Gordon Matta-Clark collection at the CCA (CP138), opening it up to provisional readings from different points of view. Yann Chateigné reorganizes Matta-Clark’s library into areas of inquiry, from alchemy to psychoanalysis, as a framework for gathering traces—written and drawn—of his thinking. Hila Peleg reassembles hours of discarded film footage, challenging the notion of documentation and returning to view the physical and social contexts—the relational space—of Matta-Clark’s interventions. And from hundreds of travel photographs, Kitty Scott constructs a panorama of Matta-Clark’s visual notes on the world around him—a foil to his artworks. In foregrounding seemingly incidental parts of the collection, these studies manifest an exploratory way of working with archives, by which selecting, presenting, and writing are processes of ongoing research. Rather than synthesize, CP138 Gordon Matta-Clark: Readings of the archive by Yann Chateigné, Hila Peleg, and Kitty Scott extends the scope of what constitutes Matta-Clark’s body of work and thus the physical and intellectual terrain within which to situate it.

Résumé:
The Cedric Price fonds at the CCA is an inexhaustible source of provocations about what architecture is and the questions it should ask. Sofia Nannini looks here at a small but representative collection of files within this vast archive: a proposal for a light and reconfigurable livestock pen to clean and weigh cattle and sheep, which Price suggests can also become a bucolic family picnic area when not used for the animals, simply by removing the gates that control them. And it is precisely this question of control of the non-human that Nannini chooses to focus on. In the context of Price's interest in impermanence and the creative potential of human interaction and individual free will, Nannini exposes architecture's responsibility in perpetuating the assumed dominion of our species over others.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage déballe l’exhaustive collection Gordon Matta-Clark au CCA (CP138), en l’ouvrant à des interprétations provisoires issues de points de vue différents. Yann Chateigné réorganise la bibliothèque de Matta-Clark pour y recueillir les traces – écrites et dessinées – de sa pensée au travers de champs d’investigation structurants, de l’alchimie à la psychanalyse. Rassemblant des heures de séquences de film rejetées, Hila Peleg remet en question la notion de documentation et ramène à la vue les contextes physiques et sociaux – l’espace relationnel – des interventions de Matta-Clark. Et à partir de centaines de photographies de voyage, Kitty Scott dresse, en contrepoint aux oeuvres de Matta-Clark, un panorama de ses notes visuelles sur le monde qui l’entoure. En mettant au premier plan des éléments apparemment secondaires de la collection, ces études manifestent une approche exploratoire des archives, dans laquelle la sélection, la présentation et l’écriture relèvent d’un processus de recherche continue. Plus qu’une synthèse, CP138 Gordon Matta-Clark : Les archives revues par Yann Chateigné, Hila Peleg et Kitty Scott propose d’élargir la portée de ce qui constitue l’oeuvre de Matta-Clark et ainsi le terrain physique et intellectuel dans lequel elle se situe.

Résumé:
''Photography and Architecture: 1839–1939'' presents works that show aspects of the history of architecture seen through photography, and the history of photography through architecture. One hundred and forty-eight photographs from the collection of the CCA have been selected to demonstrate the great richness of the subject, including the origins of photography in Britain and France, the pioneering expeditions accompanied by photographers who recorded the great monuments of the world from the Mediterranean to the Far East, and the great surveys of the nineteenth century. Individual images document the expansion of the United States in works that reflect the growth of American cities. Urban renewal is seen in works from the Second Empire in France and from the 1880s in England and Scotland. Works from the American renaissance in photography of the 1920s and 1930s explore new aspects of the modern vertical city. The final section of the book is devoted to works that reflect the architectural ideas developped in Germany between the two world wars. Introduction by Phyllis Lambert.
