George Rohault de Fleury
CI001.S3
Description:
The CCA's Rohault de Fleury collection includes two of Georges' historical and archeological studies of medieval Italian architecture: 'Les Monuments de Pise au Moyen', 1866 (DR1974:028:001:066) and 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres sur L' Architecture Civile et Militaire en 1400' 2 vols.,1874 (DR1974:0002:039 and DR1974:0002:040). 'Monuments de Pise au Moyen Age' is an atlas consisting solely of 66 prints of Pisan architecture, sculpture, and painting. The section on architecture is the largest, and is divided into three sections for the Lombard, Roman, and Gothic periods. The accompanying text, and an identical atlas of prints, is located in the CCA library. 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres...' is a history of Tuscan civil and military architecture to 1400. The text is in the form of a fictitious correspondence between Raimond du Temple, a famous architect of the Louvre under Charles V, and his son Charles who is traveling through Tuscany. The text is accompanied by photomechanical illustrations, mostly sketches of scenes from bas-reliefs and manuscripts, and a few of built structures. The CCA library has two sets of a related publication entitled 'La Toscane au Moyen Age architecture civile et militaire' 2 vols. These earlier and larger publications are probably the source for some of the text and plates of 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres...'. The introductory remarks, to 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres..' and to the text (CCA library) of the 'Monuments de Pise au Moyen Age' are particularly informative as they provide an insight into Georges Rohault de Fleury's interpretation of historical periods of artistic renewal, decline, and decadence, and their didactic relationship to contemporary architectural and religious concerns.

Résumé:
Le fonds PGL architectes, 1959 – 1994, témoigne des activités de la firme d’architecture montréalaise, Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc architectes, autant que ses sociétés affiliées et firmes remplaçantes. La majorité du fonds comprend des documents qui représentent 70 projets architecturaux, incluant des projets entrepris à travers le Québec, à Ottawa, à de multiples endroits au Nunavut, ainsi que des projets internationaux. Le fonds met en évidence la participation du PGL dans la construction d'infrastructure coloniale au Nunavik et au Nunavut, y compris les travaux sur des écoles associées avec des foyers fédéraux, qui sont reconnus comme faisant partie du système des pensionnats autochtones du Canada. De plus, le fonds documente l’utilisation des panneaux de fibre de verre modulaires employés par PGL. Pour la plupart, les documents dans ce fonds se composent des dessins, des documents photographiques, et des documents textuels. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The PGL architectes fonds, 1959 - 1994, documents the work and activities of the Montréal-based architecture firm, Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc architectes, and its successor and affiliate companies.

Description:
This series documents publications by Ábalos&Herreros and by the firm's publishing house Liga Multimedia Internaciónal (LMI). It includes a doctoral thesis “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas; a book series titled “Exit”; writings about the firm for an issue of 2G: International Architecture Review, no. 22; “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros; as well as various publications by Abalos & Herreros and other authors. “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas was published at the LMI. Documenting the publication are copies of the doctoral thesis, dummies, proofs, correspondence, contracts, reports, and an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) request form. Material was produced between 1972 and 1996. The book series “Exit” was also published by the LMI. Five titles were published and a sixth was in development, when the project was abandoned for unknown reasons. The publications in the series were titled: Exit 1: Exit; Exit 2: Las Afueras : siete visiones de la vida metropolitana; Exit 3: Le Corbusier. Rascacielos; Exit 4: [unknown]; and Exit 5: Natural artificial. Exit 2’s project title was “Madrid Metrópolis” and was changed later to “Las Afueras […]”. However, Abalos & Herreros did publish a book entitled “Madrid Metrópolis”, but there is no relation between the two publications. Documenting the book series are correspondence, a dummy, publications, notes, clippings, plans, invoices, contracts, and reference, digital, graphic and photographic materials. The publication “Abalos & Herreros” featured in the 2G: International architecture review, no 22 includes plans and illustrations. The issue is about Abalos & Herreros’ work from the 1990s. Documenting the publication are design development, presentation, and work drawings, as well as textual records. The publication of “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros was documented in phases of its creation. This publication was translated in English under the title “Tower and Office: from Modernist Theory to Contemporary Practice”. It was published as Buell Center / Columbia Books of Practice by MIT Press. Documenting the publication are proofs, illustrations, design development drawings, correspondence, reference and photographic materials. Various publications by Abalos & Herreros and titles published by the firm’s publishing house LMI include writings and correspondence, as well as reference, graphic and photographic materials.
