Résumé:
Point Saint-Charles, a historically white working-class neighbourhood with a strong Irish and French presence, and Little Burgundy, a multiracial neighbourhood that is home to the city’s English-speaking Black community, face each other across Montreal’s Lachine Canal, once an artery around which work and industry in Montreal were clustered and by which these two communities were formed and divided. ''Deindustrializing Montreal'' challenges the deepening divergence of class and race analysis by recognizing the intimate relationship between capitalism, class struggles, and racial inequality. Fundamentally, deindustrialization is a process of physical and social ruination as well as part of a wider political project that leaves working-class communities impoverished and demoralized. The structural violence of capitalism occurs gradually and out of sight, but it doesn’t play out the same for everyone. Point Saint-Charles was left to rot until it was revalorized by gentrification, whereas Little Burgundy was torn apart by urban renewal and highway construction. This historical divergence had profound consequences in how urban change has been experienced, understood, and remembered. Drawing extensive interviews, a massive and varied archive of imagery, and original photography by David Lewis into a complex chorus, Steven High brings these communities to life, tracing their history from their earliest years to their decline and their current reality. He extends the analysis of deindustrialization, often focused on single-industry towns, to cities that have seemingly made the post-industrial transition.

Résumé:
Archaeology of the Digital delves into the genesis and establishment of digital tools for design conceptualization, visualization, and production at the end of the 1980s. How was the transition from analog practices to new digital tools managed, and the dialogue between them exploited? What was the cultural and technological landscape of that moment? These questions are at the foundation of this publication and its accompanying exhibition that unfold around four projects selected as seminal moments in the early development stages of digital architecture: Frank Gehry’s Lewis Residence (1989 –1995), Peter Eisenman’s Frankfurt Biozentrum (1987), Shoei Yoh’s design of the roof structure of Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and of Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium (1990 –1992) and Chuck Hoberman’s Expanding Sphere (1991) and Iris Dome (1994). Each project established a significant direction for architectural research by experimenting with the possibilities offered by novel digital tools. The dialogue between computer sciences, architecture and engineering is at the core of these experiments, which can be considered precursors of approaches still operative today.

Résumé:
L’archéologie du numérique creuse en profondeur un aspect des plus essentiels : la genèse et la mise en oeuvre, à la fin des années 1980, d’outils numériques servant à la conceptualisation, la visualisation et la fabrication dans le domaine du design. Quels ont été les défis soulevés par ces technologies novatrices et les nouveaux champs de recherche qu’elles ont ouverts aux concepteurs ? Comment s’est faite la transition entre pratiques analogiques et outils numériques, et comment le dialogue entre eux a-t-il été exploité ? Ces questions sont au coeur de la présente publication et de l’exposition qu’elle accompagne, qui se déploient autour de quatre projets choisis comme étant des moments charnières des premières étapes du développement de l’architecture numérique : la résidence Lewis (1989–1995), de Frank Gehry, le Biozentrum de Francfort (1987), de Peter Eisenman, la conception de la toiture du complexe sportif municipal d’Odawara et celle du gymnase Galaxy de Toyama (1990 –1992), de Shoei Yoh, ainsi que la sphère déployable (1991) et le dôme Iris (1994) de Chuck Hoberman. Chacun des projets a imprimé une orientation certaine à la recherche architecturale en permettant d’expérimenter les possibilités qu’offraient les nouveaux outils numériques. Le dialogue entre informatique, architecture et génie est au coeur de ces expériences, qui peuvent être considérées comme les précurseurs de méthodes encore opérationnelles aujourd’hui.
