Bernard Rudofsky was neither an architect nor a theorist in the usual sense. At the start of his career he completed a number of houses in Italy and Brazil, where he employed the formal language of the Modernists even though his writings appear to indicate he rejected their teachings.

Summary:
Bernard Rudofsky was neither an architect nor a theorist in the usual sense. At the start of his career he completed a number of houses in Italy and Brazil, where he employed the formal language of the Modernists even though his writings appear to indicate he rejected their teachings. From the 1940s onwards, Rudofsky was primarily engaged as a critic and culture theorist who did not just write about architecture and design, but also on topics such as clothing, shoes, eating and bathing. The common element behind all of these activities, though, was the human body, and his lamentation of the loss of sensual awareness. This comprehensive show on Bernard Rudofsky provides detailed information on his life, his travels, his various activities as an architect, designer, exhibition-maker, author and theorist, as well as about the life he shared with his wife, Berta Rudofsky. Bernard Rudofsky made a large number of exhibitions during his widely travelled and cosmopolitan life, however there has never been an exhibition about him and his work. This exhibition, the first on Bernard Rudofsky in the world, has not been conceived as a classical retrospective. The aim is to make the cosmopolitan Rudofsky's complex architectural concept and concept of how to live accessible to a broad public, and to address his relevance for today.

Summary:
Photographie et architecture: 1839-1939 regroupe des oeuvres qui montrent divers aspects de l'histoire de l'architecture vus à travers la photographie, et de l'histoire de la photographie vus à travers l'architecture. Cette sélection de cent quarante-huit photographies originales de la collection du Centre Canadien d'Architecture démontre la grande richesse du sujet, qui comprend les origines de la photographie en Angleterre et en France, les premières expéditions accompagnées de photographes qui ramenèrent des images des monuments les plus célèbres, de la Méditerreanée jusqu'à l'Etrême-Orient, enfin les grands documentaires photographiques du dix-neuvième siècle. Des oeuvres de la renaissance américaine en photographie, au cours des années 1920 et 1930, explorent sous divers angles la verticalité de la ville moderne. La dernière partie du livre est consacrée à des oeuvres qui reflètent les idées architecturales développées en Allemagne entre les deux guerres mondiales.

Summary:
Published in concert with a major exhibition at the CCA in 1995, ''Scenes of the World to Come'' analyses the global structures and thematic strategies according to which American architectural forms and urban models migrated to the Old Continent, bringing the promise of a new architecture and, along with it, the threat of a dissolution of European identity. The text traces the assimilation of American models in the various countries of Europe: in Germany, where the discipline of urban planning was founded; in futurist and fascist Italy; in France, where the Beaux-Arts tradition was profoundly shaken by contact with America; in avant-garde and Stalinist Russia; and in Great Britain after 1945.
