Canadian Centre for Architecture

Archive-It Partner Since: Aug, 2018

Organization Type: Museums & Art Libraries

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

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: Laboratoires, Laboratories

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

Collection: Canadian Centre for Architecture websites

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.
