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

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

Collection: Canadian Centre for Architecture websites

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).
