Résumé:
L’architecte et designer montréalais Norman Slater (1921-2003) a été au cœur de l’effervescence qui marqua l’univers du design et de l’architecture au cours des années soixante. Bien que son activité professionnelle se soit surtout concentrée dans sa ville natale, sa carrière a connu une dimension à la fois nationale et internationale grâce à des interventions à Ottawa, Edmonton, Vancouver, Bruxelles ou Tokyo. À Montréal ses interventions ont été rattachées à des projets d’importance et, bien qu’un grand nombre ait aujourd’hui disparu, certaines d’entre elles occupent toujours une place de premier plan dans le paysage et l’imaginaire de la ville.

Résumé:
Architecture by its nature is destined to take physical advantage over space, meaning its objects remain. Temporal stratifications admit the memory of the past as a starting point for developing this space. It is a matter of defining the relationship between new and old through an operation of addition and historical stratification. By way of minimal and focused(...)

Résumé:
Architecture by its nature is destined to take physical advantage over space, meaning its objects remain. Temporal stratifications admit the memory of the past as a starting point for developing this space. It is a matter of defining the relationship between new and old through an operation of addition and historical stratification. By way of minimal and focused interventions, subtle additions and modifications, the featured projects – such as Aalto University Main Building by ALA Architects, Studio Libeskind’s National Holocaust Monument Ottawa, Len Lye Centre by Pattersons, and more – demonstrate the care and mindfulness with which architects approach memory and history.

Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities.(...)

Résumé:
In 1950, only 30 percent of the world's population lived in cities. By 2007, the planet's population has doubled, and today, as many people live in cities as populated the entire planet in 1950. Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities. Author and Ottawa city councilor Clive Doucet provides a razor-sharp insider's perspective, stating his central theme: "It's not about planning. It's about politics." Climate change is proceeding so quickly not for lack of knowledge, but because politicians who deviate from the car-based sprawl model cannot get elected. Urban Meltdown describes how we got here, why we got here, and what can be done about it, as evidenced by the author's observations that: Economic growth has no built-in environmental accountability. Until the political thinking about growth and the progress model itself is changed, our environmental concerns will never be properly addressed. We need a new governance paradigm at all three levels. The cautionary tale of how the 1960s tried to take us down a different route failed, not for lack of leadership but because the system didn't permit it. Urban Meltdown reveals, castigates, and inspires. This is an important book for anyone who cares about thinking differently, acting differently, and making a difference. Clive Doucet is an urban activist, well-known journalist, best-selling author, and the first poet ever elected to Ottawa City Council.

Résumé:
Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities.

Résumé:
Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities. "Terra Nostra" celebrates the mapping of Canada, in part by telling the stories of the exceptional individuals who helped to create the maps. Drawn from the cartographic holdings of Library and Archives Canada, it spans four centuries - from the portolan charts of the early explorers to recent aerial images of east coast ice floes. Jeffrey S. Murray is senior archivist at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa.

Résumé:
For decades, the Inuit of northern Québec were among the most neglected people in Canada. It took The Battle of James Bay, 1971-1975, for the governments in Québec City and Ottawa to wake up to the disgrace. In this concise, lively account, Zebedee Nungak relates the inside story of how the young Inuit and Cree ''Davids'' took action when Québec began construction on the giant James Bay hydro project. They fought in court and at the negotiation table for an accord that effectively became Canada’s first land-claims agreement. Nungak’s account is accompanied by his essays on Nunavik history. Together they provide a fascinating insight into a virtually unknown chapter of Canadian history.
