Nasser Rabbat questionne la définition binaire opposant l’Orient et l’Occident ou encore le traditionnel et le moderne, et aborde la relation dialectique entre modernité et histoire dans la composition de la ville contemporaine du Caire.

PH1981:1286:001-036
Description:
Album PH1981:1286:001-036 and its component photographs by Richard Broadbridge were taken after 1911 when the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (C.P.R.) decided to supplement the Vancouver terminus with a second terminus in Coquitlam. Eleven of the photographs are related to the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company, and many show structures under construction, including: five views of the freight yards, one of which also shows the Roundhouse; two views of the Roundhouse; two views of bridges; and one view each of the Terminal office and the construction camp. Also included are views of the district of Coquitlam's rapid development into the city of Port Coquitlam in 1913, including: four views of roads; three views of houses; two views of the First Division and one view of the Second Division; two views of a commerical building; two views of the Agricultural Hall; two views of the Provincial Government Farm (also known as the Colony Farm); two views of roads to housing developments; and one view each of the Old Business Center, the Provincial Asylum, the Pitt River Dyke, the Pitt River with Coquitlam in background, a hotel, a factory, and the original Indigenous village.

Projet
BMI/HQ
AP144.S2.D74
Description:
File documents the unexecuted design for the headquarters of the Birmingham and Midland Institute (BMI), in Birmingham, England. This project is related to the Shantasea Development (AP144.S2.D72) from which Cedric Price resigned as architect to take on the role of architect for BMI, one of the proposed tenants for the Shantasea project. Cedric Price proposed a municipal and regional "nerve centre" to house seminar and study rooms, workshops, galleries, film, television and music studios, a library, a planetarium, and a theatre. A flexible life-cycle plan (expansion, static, contraction) for the building and the activities would allow BMI to expand in the short and medium term, and to shrink in the long term, when it was assumed that many of its roles would be replaced by the UK's Open University plan (Works II, 42). Work on the project came to a stop in 1970 under a new city council (Architectural Design, June 1971, 368). Existing conditions material consists of maps and a survey of Birmingham. Conceptual sketches and drawings include: annotated diagrammatic plans and sections used to develop the building's massing and the horizontal/vertical relationships between functional areas; axonometric views showing the building's general form/functions; plans used for calculating square footage; diagrams showing visual and physical movement through the building; information and movement charts; and flow charts showing the building's organization. Design development drawings consist of graphs showing how functional areas might be used over time. Design development and working drawings include: diagrammatic plans and sections; exploded axonometric views of the functional relationships between areas; exterior axonometric views; sectional perspectives; space allocation plans; circulation drawings; diagrams showing activities throughout the day; furniture equipment schedules; theatre seating and stair studies; and elevations for exterior cladding. Charts show links between activities/actions; activity distribution; activity/capacity; progress of pre-contract work; and the telephone network. File also includes drawings by engineering consultants Felix Samuely and Partners and Zisman, Bowyer and Partners. Presentation material includes: newspaper clippings and text concerning the project; diagrammatic plans, sections, and charts; and a photo collage of the site; and a text by Cedric Price entitled "The Present Position". Some materials in this file were published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 3", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (June 1971), 364-368, and 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 42. Material in this file was produced between 1967 and 1971. Zisman Bowyer and Partners appear as the mechanical and electrical consulting engineers; Silk and Frazier as the quantity surveyors; and Versa-Serve Ltd as the catering consultants on this project. File contains cartographic materials, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, panels, photographic materials, presentation drawings, presentation panels, publication drawings, technical drawings, and textual records.
