Title: Tools for Actions, Outils pour l'action, Ferramentas para ações

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/actions/

Description: Actions: What You Can Do with the City gathers actions that reinvent our daily lives and reoccupy urban space with new uses. Actions: What You Can Do With the City is a research project initiated by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in 2007. It has taken the form of an exhibition – presented at the CCA (Montreal, 2008), the Graham Foundation (Chicago, 2009) and the X Bienal de Arquitetura (São Paulo, 2013) – a publication and a website. Actions : Comment s’approprier la ville présente des projets qui tentent des modes de vie inédits et surprenants, réinventent notre quotidien, ou réoccupent les espaces urbains. Lancé par le Centre Canadien d’Architecture (CCA) en 2007, Actions : Comment s’approprier la ville est un projet de recherche qui a pris la forme d’une exposition présentée au CCA (Montréal, 2008), à la Graham Foundation (Chicago, 2009) et à la X Bienal de Arquitetura (São Paulo, 2013), ainsi que d’une publication et d’un site Web. Ações: O Que Você Pode Fazer com a Cidade reúne ações que reinventam nossas vidas cotidianas e reocupam o espaço urbano com novos usos. Essas ideias não têm a pretensão de representar um mundo que poderia substituir o atual. Elas não constituem uma resposta unificada, mas oferecem a todos alternativas possíveis. Se, como observa Aldo van Eyck, "a imaginação é o principal detector de mudança", não podemos senão perceber o quão grande é a mudança em curso.

Title: Putting architecture in its place, Mettre l’architecture à sa place

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/daycamp/

Description: Putting Architecture in its Place is a CCA Day Camp dedicated to talking, discussing, writing and publishing critical thoughts and observations about architecture. During this workshop we will look at how the architecture critic is at the same time an advocate for a discipline or profession, but also an urban and social activist. This means his/her mission should be not just to foster recognition for architecture, but also understand where urban or human needs end and “architect ego” begins (and vice-versa).

Title: Laboratoires, Laboratories

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/laboratories/

Description: Laboratories is designed to look at how architecture can respond to an uncertain post-September 11 world and construct a new stage for thought. Six Montréal firms of young architects have been invited to create an environment or installation in the CCA galleries that investigate the fundamentals of architecture. The exhibition is part of a project of discussion and debate, a laboratory of ideas in which curators, artists, critics, and the public use architecture as a common language to express their thinking about the future. Au lendemain du 11 septembre, dans un monde désormais empreint d'incertitude, comment l'architecture peut-elle établir un nouveau cadre de réflexion ? Laboratoires a invité six ateliers de jeunes architectes montréalais à créer, dans les salles du CCA, un environnement ou une installation qui examine les principes de base de l'architecture. L'exposition s'inscrit dans un projet de discussion et de débats, un laboratoire d'idées où conservateurs, artistes, critiques, et public utilisent l'architecture comme langage commun pour imaginer l'avenir.

Title: Out of the Box, Sortis du cadre

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/outofthebox/

Description: The exhibition out of the box at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (23 October 2003 to 6 September 2004) opened to view four archives (Cedric Price, Aldo Rossi, James Sterling, and Gordon Matta-Clark) that had entered the CCA collection only very recently, acquired in the period from 1995 to 2000. The public was invited to share a museum's own first moments of discovery as much of the material had never been exhibited before: it literally came out of the box for the first time.

Title: Perspectives de vie à Londres et à Tokyo

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/perspectivesdevie/

Description: Perspectives de vie à Londres et à Tokyo imaginées par Stephen Taylor et Ryue Nishizawa marque la première présentation en Amérique du Nord des projets résidentiels de Taylor et Nishizawa et dévoile les solutions originales qu’ils apportent aux défis de la construction d’habitations au sein de tissus urbains denses existants. Londres et Tokyo constituent un terrain particulièrement propice à de telles études de cas, non seulement par leur échelle et la complexité de leur environnement bâti respectives, mais surtout en raison du développement continuel au cœur de ces villes qui redéfinit leurs trames urbaines. Si les deux villes sont confrontées à des problèmes d’aménagement urbain comparables, elles s’inscrivent néanmoins dans des contextes culturels différents où proximité, vie privée, collectivité et espace public prennent une signification autre et exigent des solutions distinctes.

Title: Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/someideasonliving/

Description: Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo by Stephen Taylor and Ryue Nishizawa marks the first North American presentation of residential projects by architects Taylor and Nishizawa and reveals their distinctive solutions to the challenges of building homes in existing dense urban fabrics. London and Tokyo provide particularly relevant ground for case studies not only due to the scale and complexity of their respective built environments, but especially for the way in which their increasing densities call for a redefinition of urban living. While facing similar issues related to growth, the two cities occupy cultural contexts in which themes of proximity, privacy, community, and public space take on different meanings and require distinct solutions.

Description: Conceived in homage to architect James Stirling, who believed that urban design is integral to the practice of architecture and a vital topic for public debate, the James Stirling Memorial Lectures on the City competition was inaugurated in November 2003 as a unique forum for the advancement of new critical perspectives on the role of urban design and urban architecture in the development of cities worldwide.
