Crossed Histories with Léa-Catherine Szacka and Phyllis Lambert

Book launch, in French, CCA Bookstore, 27 March 2025, 6pm

Please join us for a conversation around the publication Crossed Histories. Published by Skira in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, the book focuses on the professional and personal trajectories of three protagonists who marked the transition from modernism to postmodernism: Gae Aulenti, Ada Louise Huxtable, Phyllis Lambert. Each in their own way, these three protagonists shaped the intellectual and physical environment of their city and shared an ambivalent relationship with the concrete- and-steel architecture of the post-Second World War modern movement.

Léa-Catherine Szacka, who curated the exhibition in Paris and co-authored the book, will present the genesis and production of this project in conversation with Phyllis Lambert.

This event is open to the public. No reservation needed, but please note that seating is limited.
