En observant les dessins de Louis Kahn, on note que sa recherche de la monumentalité abstraite, plus intense dans ses réalisations des années 60, était déjà présente des décennies auparavant dans ses nombreux dessins, croquis de voyage et paysages. Les études, croquis de voyage et paysages présentés dans l’exposition – notamment ses paysages intimistes de la Gaspésie où(...)

Projet
AP148.S1.1967.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Poli's contribution to the competition entry for the restoration of a 16th century fort in Florence, the Fortezza da Bassa and its transformation into a National Centre for Arts and Crafts. This competition design was a Superstudio project led by Adolfo Natalini, reflecting the group's interest at the time in architecture on a "monumental' scale" (Lang and Menking, 2003, 100). Project material consists of study sketches in coloured pencil and graphite, many with annotations, and a page of typed notes, also with smaller sketches. Poli's sketches and notes seem to focus on designs for the entrance to the fort -- "ingresso alla Fortezza" -- and the movement of spectators into the fort. The typed notes and some sketches suggest the idea of a pinball machine with flippers and multi coloured lights lighting up a path.

Un dictionnaire
AP041.S1.1970.D2
Description:
UN DICTIONNAIRE consists of black and white photographs of wire-service newspaper articles selected by Charney for their depiction of “people and buildings caught in upheavals”. Charney described these images as “monuments which are created by events outside the confines of architectural institutions”, meaning that buildings and locations assume a “monumental connotation” when they become associated with a significant event. UN DICTIONNAIRE consists of 300 plates, each plate a photograph that “traces the contours of relations which affect our grasp of the significance of buildings”. UN DICTIONNAIRE was presented as an installation at Galerie Catherine & Stéphane de Beyrie in Paris in 1994 and at the Canadian Pavilion of the 7th International Architectural Exhibition in Venice in 2000 as well as at Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal in 2001-2002. The publication “Tracking images : Melvin Charney, un dictionnaire...” related to this project was also realized in collaboration the Canadian Centre for Architecture in 2000. This project series contains correspondence, notes, photographs, installations plans and exhibition space plans related for the aforementioned exhibitions in Paris, at the Venice Biennale and in Montréal. It also contains reprints of panels shown outside the Canadian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Source: Montréal : Musée d’art contemporain. (1979) Melvin Charney: Oeuvres 1970-1979. (p. 21-28)

AP164.S1.1997.D12
Description:
The subseries documents the show-event base “Fabricaciones / Fabrications,” held at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) (February 10th to April 20th, 1998). The firm identified this project as number 110. “Fabrications was an innovative exhibition on architecture conceived and produced jointly by MACBA, MoMA, the Wexner Center for the Arts and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition presented sixteen life-size architectural interventions, four at each participating center, each produced by a team of architects who explored tectonic issues in a broad sense. The four installations presented at Plaça dels Àngels – the square in front of the MACBA building – explored and modified the surfaces that defined this public space. Vicente Gualla (Barcelona) created an intervention on the façade opposite the Museum, which drew attention to the occupation and the population density that was absent from the buildings in the square. Abalos & Herreros (Madrid) acted upon the façade of the MACBA building itself, cladding and decorating its most monumental elements: the tower and the balcony. Riegler Riewe (Graz) worked with the whole of the square, inscribing a broken horizontal line along the perimeter of the public space. Finally, MVRDV (Rotterdam) acted upon the paving through an evocation of a series of different kinds of sports grounds.” (MACBA website) Documenting the exhibition are design development drawings, correspondence, project descriptions, budgets, notes, and reference, graphic and photographic materials.
