What if someone looked at an actual building and said, “That model is very large”? Scales is the result of a commission by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), Montréal, given to Naoya Hatakeyama to create a work in response to photographs of architectural models in the Collection. The commission was issued in the context of the Tangent project curated for the CCA by Hubertus von Amelunxen. Tangent is a project constructed to bring contemporary artists into dialogue with the CCA's extraordinary collection. As described by von Amelunxen, the camera's eye, once it is trained on an architectural subject, acts as a tangent that touches a volume, a tangent that in turn undergoes a new tangential translation as it meets the gaze of a contemporary artist.

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.

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.

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.

Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition tenue en 2008 au CCA, Actions : comment s’approprier la ville comprend trente essais originaux de portée internationale. Ces textes traitent tant des observations personnelles d’un éventail d’activistes que des réflexions de spécialistes qui analysent les répercussions positives de ces initiatives individuelles sur la ville ; 34 actions tirées de l’exposition s’imbriquent aux textes. Les actions sont représentées par des images couleur et de courtes descriptions, qui précisent le nom des acteurs, les outils et les lieux concernés. Mirko Zardini et Giovana Borasi, directeurs de la publication et commissaires de l’exposition, signent chacun une introduction offrant une perspective historique ; ils campent l’exposition et la publication dans le cadre de la conservation.
