Description:

The Canadian Centre for Architecture is an international research institution operating from the fundamental premise that architecture is a public concern. It was founded in 1979 by Phyllis Lambert as a new type of cultural institution, with the specific aim of increasing public awareness of the role of architecture in contemporary society and promoting research in the field.

We produce exhibitions, publications, and a range of activities driven by a curiosity about how architecture shapes—and might reshape—contemporary life. We invite architects, scholars, and the wider public to engage with our collection, deepening our understanding of the past and giving new relevance to architectural thinking in light of current disciplinary and cultural issues.

Title: Out of the Box, Sortis du cadre

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

Collection: Canadian Centre for Architecture websites

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.
