Summary:
Comment concevoir la ville lorsque nos expériences les plus intimes sont constamment traquées et nos sentiments utilisés comme base à de nouveaux modes de production favorisant l’immatériel au détriment du matériel ? Depuis la crise financière de 2008, les listes d’indicateurs du bien-être et d’indices du bonheur, ainsi que les classements fondés sur la qualité de vie, circulent de manière virale. Parallèlement, les données émotionnelles présentées dans ces enquêtes, y compris les perceptions relatives aux notions de solitude, d’amitié et de peurs intimes, alimentent un agenda politique du bonheur en croissance et une nouvelle forme de marché dont l’atout le plus déterminant est l’« affect ». Nos jours heureux examine les implications architecturales de cette tendance en disséquant et en questionnant les conditions politiques, économiques et émotionnelles qui génèrent l’espace aujourd’hui. Structuré comme une narration visuelle – assortie de lectures critiques de William Davies, Daniel Fujiwara, Simon Fujiwara, Ingo Niermann, Deane Simpson et Mirko Zardini –, cet ouvrage présente l’architecture, la ville et le paysage comme des surfaces contestées, prises entre les lignes directrices intangibles des indices de bonheur, le nouveau marché des émotions et l’idéologie implacable de la positivité.

Summary:
Before architectural postmodernism was named as such, the process of postmodernizing architecture had already begun implicating architectural work in the increasingly information-driven logic of the late twentieth century. Though radical, the effects of this process have long been excluded from the predominant histories of postmodernism, which continue to rely on notions of individual and creative genius, architectural autonomy, and stylistic genealogies. Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernization Effects places material devices, such as Pantone chips, research grant applications, questionnaires, Xerography, and travel photography, at the forefront of a counter-narrative that recasts these informatic procedures as fundamentally architectural and as the primary of catalysts of the loose agglomeration of styles that was once called postmodernism.

Summary:
The Cedric Price fonds at the CCA is an inexhaustible source of provocations about what architecture is and the questions it should ask. Sofia Nannini looks here at a small but representative collection of files within this vast archive: a proposal for a light and reconfigurable livestock pen to clean and weigh cattle and sheep, which Price suggests can also become a bucolic family picnic area when not used for the animals, simply by removing the gates that control them. And it is precisely this question of control of the non-human that Nannini chooses to focus on. In the context of Price's interest in impermanence and the creative potential of human interaction and individual free will, Nannini exposes architecture's responsibility in perpetuating the assumed dominion of our species over others.

Summary:
Iñaki Ábalos and Juan Herreros established the renowned architectural firm Ábalos & Herreros in Madrid in 1984. At the time, following the end of the Franco regime, architects were valued more for their technical ability than for their contributions to theoretical research. In this context, Ábalos and Herreros’s melding of design with a range of publications and curatorial projects presented a remarkable challenge to assumptions about the role of an architect. In 2012, the Canadian Centre for Architecture obtained the Ábalos & Herreros archive, which contains documents related to more than 160 projects. The material comprises sketches, slides, models, collages, and drawings. The archive presents a compelling opportunity to reconstruct Ábalos and Herreros’s planning and design process. Each of the book’s three contributors—two of whom worked with Ábalos and Herreros—approaches the archive with specific questions, and their essays explore topics including the architects’ fascination with industrial architecture, their capacity to construct a hybrid materiality without recourse to building technology as language, and their innovative visions for landscape architecture.

Summary:
Over a creative career of more than thirty years, Victor Burgin has established an international reputation as an artist and theoretician in the field of both moving and stationary images. Burgin became known in the late 1960s as one of the founders of Conceptual art. During the 1970s, his works consisted mainly of large-format photographic sequences that often involved text. At the beginning of the 1990s he turned to digital video art. This volume documents the many perspectives of the British artist’s reflections on Pompeii. Burgin created this series of images in 2006, while examining a nineteenth-century photograph of Pompeii from the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.
