Summary:
Traces of India: Photography, Architecture, and the Politics of Representation, 1850–1900 investigates the different cultural roles played by photographs of Indian architecture from the second half of the nineteenth century. Although picturesque views, scientific records of an architectural past, political memorials, travel mementos, and textbook vignettes are the obvious purposes of these images, Traces of India offers a deeper interpretation. Twelve essays show how photographs of architecture reveal the ways in which the practice of image making is aligned with the purposes of power, the presumptions accompanying the encounter with the unfamiliar, and the forces shaping colonial India. The book is published in conjunction with the 2003 CCA exhibition Traces of India: Photography, Architecture, and the Politics of Representation.

Summary:
Addressing the pivotal role played by speed in modern life – from art, architecture, and urbanism to graphics and design, to economics and the material culture of the eras of industry and information – Speed Limits presents a multifaceted view that is both a defence of speed and an implicit denunciation of its detrimental effect on contemporary life. Along with the essays, the book includes an anthology of nineteenth- and twentieth-century statements on speed and slowness from writers such as Charles Dickens, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marcel Proust, J.G. Ballard, Italo Calvino, and Marshall McLuhan, among others. Dividing these two sections is a visual essay by Jeffrey T. Schnapp that draws images from the archives of the CCA and the Wolfsonian.

Summary:
Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition homonyme présentée par le CCA au cours de l'été 1995, le présent ouvrage analyse les structures globales et les stratégies thématiques selon lesquelles les types et les formes de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme américains migrent vers le Vieux Monde, apportant les promesses d'une architecture nouvelle et, déjà, la menace d'une dissolution de l'identité européenne. Ainsi en va-t-il du modèle de l'usine taylorisée ou, bien entendu, de celui du gratte-ciel, que chaque courant architectural s'appropriera. Le propos retrace l'assimilation des démarches américaines par l'Allemagne, où se fonde l'urbanisme, par l'Italie du futurisme et du fascisme, par la France, où l'hégémonie des Beaux-Arts vacille au contact de l'Amérique, par la Russie des avant-gardes et de la réaction culturelle stalinienne et par l'Angleterre d'après 1945.

Summary:
''Photography and Architecture: 1839–1939'' presents works that show aspects of the history of architecture seen through photography, and the history of photography through architecture. One hundred and forty-eight photographs from the collection of the CCA have been selected to demonstrate the great richness of the subject, including the origins of photography in Britain and France, the pioneering expeditions accompanied by photographers who recorded the great monuments of the world from the Mediterranean to the Far East, and the great surveys of the nineteenth century. Individual images document the expansion of the United States in works that reflect the growth of American cities. Urban renewal is seen in works from the Second Empire in France and from the 1880s in England and Scotland. Works from the American renaissance in photography of the 1920s and 1930s explore new aspects of the modern vertical city. The final section of the book is devoted to works that reflect the architectural ideas developped in Germany between the two world wars. Introduction by Phyllis Lambert.
