Description:
The Professional papers series, circa 1950-2008, records the professional activities of Aditya Prakash throughout his career up until his death in 2008. His work in architecture, art, photography, academia and theatre are documented through textual records, drawings, photographic materials, ephemera, books, serials and sound recordings. The earliest materials in this series show Prakash’s interest in architectural photography early in his career through photographs, slides, and negatives taken by him. These materials, dating from before 1970, show most prominently his projects, people, villages and cityscapes. Materials dating from after 1968 show Prakash’s move into academia and his solo architectural career. During this time, the records document Prakash’s research interests on subjects such as urbanization, Chandigarh, the Modular and the environment, through drawings, newspaper articles, government and committee reports, correspondence and presentation materials. Likewise, his teaching is recorded through overhead transparencies, drawings and notes. The series also shows Prakash’s involvement in the professional community, including event photographs, correspondence and records documenting conferences, events and his discussion group Our Get Togethers. Correspondence with architect Charles Correa and frequent letters between Prakash and writer Mulk Raj Anand are of note here. Apart from his architectural career, Prakash’s work as a modern artist is well recorded through drawings, sketchbooks, and photographic reproductions of his art, mostly dating from after 1980. His interest in art as well as his community involvement are documented through exhibition ephemera, correspondence, and exhibition reviews and writings on his artwork. His role as the president of the Lalit Kala Akademi is also documented through publications, event photographs and correspondence. Finally, Prakash’s involvement in theatre, specifically with his amateur theatre troop Abhinet, is captured through scripts, photographs of performances and play reviews.

Description:
Cette série porte sur le travail de documentation photographique de Robert Duchesnay du dôme géodésique du pavilon des États-Unis à l'exposition universelle de 1967 (Expo 67) à Montréal, au Québec. Le dôme, conçu par Buckminster Fuller, mesure 249 pieds de diamètre et 200 pieds de hauteur. Un incendie en 1976 détruit de revêtement de polymère du dôme et ne laisse que la structure en acier. En 1990, la structure est intégrée à l'aménagement du bâtiment d'un musée du l'environnement et les enjeux socio-environnementaux contemporains, la Biosphère. La série contient une sélection d'images de la série intitulée Dome Project élaborée entre 1983 et 1992. Cette série, qui compte 25 photographies, montre le pavillon des États-Unis sous différents angles, depuis l'extérieur et l'intérieur de la structure, ainsi que plusieurs détails architecturaux. La série nous renseigne sur l'état de l'édifice après l'incendie de 1976 et avant qu'il ne soit restauré entre 1993 et 1995 pour devenir la Biosphère; elle nous renseigne aussi sur la pratique artistique de Robert Duchesnay alors que sa principale préoccupation consistait à documenter l'état de ruines du pavillion des États-Unis, afin de sensibiliser l'opinion publique du danger qui menaçait l'édifice de disparaître.
