Canadian Centre for Architecture

Organization Type: Museums & Art Libraries

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.

Collection: Canadian Centre for Architecture websites

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.

Collection: Canadian Centre for Architecture websites

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. The intent of this bi-annual lecture competition is to promote innovative approaches to urban phenomena, and to re-position architecture at the centre of debates on the city of the 21st century.
