Résumé:
Avec ses élèves Zvi Hecker et Eldar Sharon, Alfred Neumann (1900-1968) déploya une architecture polyédrique, notamment mise en œuvre à Tel Aviv pendant les années 60. À l'âge des structures « spatiales » et « tridimensionnelles », Neumann et ses amis se tournent vers la géométrie cristalline trouvée en nature. Partant de processus évoquant la biologie et la(...)

À l'âge des structures « spatiales » et « tridimensionnelles », Neumann et ses amis se tournent vers la géométrie cristalline trouvée en nature. Partant de processus évoquant la biologie et la cristallographie, Neumann conçoit l'espace à travers des assemblages solides, une « grammaire de l'espace » donnant lieu à une « discipline topologique » qu'il enseignera jusqu'à sa mort à l'école d'architecture de l'Université de Laval, à Québec. Augmenté des présentations de Georges Teyssot et Samuel Bernier-Lavigne, le présent essai, dévoilé à Toronto en 1963, précède de peu la mise en chantier de l'Expo 67 à Montréal.

Architects and urbanists are accustomed to describing and creating the organizational structures, the layouts and physical attributes of our cities. But what are the relations between the design of a city—its form—and the life engendered by that form? Responding to this question is the inspiration for In the Life of Cities. Contributors from a wide range of fields address the role and life of cities as diverse as Baku, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Detroit, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Paris, Quito, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Tirana, and Toronto. Portfolios of contemporary photography present the layered realities of urban life today.

Born in 1921, Oberlander fled Nazi Germany at the age of eighteen with her family, going on to become one of the few women to graduate from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design in the late 1940s. For six decades she has practiced socially responsible and ecologically sensitive planning for public landscapes. Herrington places Oberlander within a larger social and aesthetic context, chronicling both her personal and professional trajectory and her work in New York, Philadelphia, Vancouver, Seattle, Berlin, Toronto, and Montreal.

This spectacular architecture is the setting for a lavish and impressive exhibition commemorating the Holocaust. The structure is the culmination of Moshe Safdie’s work in Israel. The architect, a student of Louis Kahn who began his career with the sensational residential complex Habitat at the 1967 Montreal World’s Fair, maintains offices in Boston, Toronto, and Jerusalem. The museum, its architecture, and its series of interior spaces with their carefully designed exhibition facilities are documented in an indepth photo essay and are illustrated with texts and plans.

Preserved at The Image Centre at TMU, the images include iconic stills of the American Civil Rights movement by Charles Moore, among thousands of ordinary photographs that were classified by theme in the agency’s picture library. While the move of the collection from a corporate photo agency to a public cultural institution enables more access, researchers must still face the size of the collection, its structural organization, the materiality of the prints, and the lack of ephemera. ''Facing Black Star'' aims to fruitfully highlight this tension between research expectations and challenges.

Résumé:
Jerome Markson’s nearly six-decade-long architectural practice began in a time of profound transformation during the post-war period. His buildings were harbingers of important shifts in sociopolitical attitudes, urban policies, and modes of architectural production. From speculative homes in fledgling suburbs, to bespoke private houses, to social housing in downtown Toronto, to luxury landmarks like the Market Square condominiums, as well as important cultural and institutional buildings, his architecture reflects his pursuit of a more open and inclusive expression of modernity, one that moved past late-Modernism's formal legibility in favour of an increasingly idiosyncratic formal, spatial, and material expression. This book is the first comprehensive critical assessment of Markson's diverse body of work, interwoven with an account of Toronto's emergence as a cosmopolitan city.

Résumé:
Digital technologies have changed the world, transforming how, where, and when we communicate, love, learn, produce, distribute, and consume. "Digital lives in the global city" examines those changes in the context of urban life, investigating how urban land, governance, and the economy are being remade by advancing communication technologies. Interspersing critical scholarship with provocative short works from non-tradtional authors to engage with a wide range of issues wrought by digital infrastructure, the book addresses such topics as struggles over unsafe and illegal buildings in Mumbai, the conditions of migrant work in Singapore, the question of digital debt in Toronto, and targeted policing in New York. This nuanced exploration reveals the profound connections between digital technologies and the social life of global cities.

Implicit in this approach is the desire to createplaces that make a positive contribution to the occupants physical and mental wellbeing. The practice combines a considered, intellectual and highly collaborative approach to design and the composition of space with an intuitive understanding of daylight to produce buildings that engage with the outdoors and strengthen the beneficial relationship between design, health and wellbeing. Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photographs alongside drawings, plans and supporting texts, Place and Occasion is the first comprehensive examination of the work of this Canadian practice.

The intended piece—construction materials hung from high-tension rope between campus buildings—was quickly stymied as Levine encountered a series of bureaucratic impediments on the part of the University staff. What ensued was played into the conceptual conceit the artist had envisioned for the project. By collating the correspondence, telephone transcripts, and visual documentation of the eventual installation process, Levine used the work to demonstrate how the university itself functioned as a system. Red Tape publishes this project, which had existed only as a dossier in the artist's archive, for the first time.
