Villes en mouvement : Jouets et transports = Cities in Motion : Toys and Transport

Catalogue to accompany the seventh in a series of exhibitions dedicated to the Canadian Centre for Architecture’s collection of toys and games. The “Cities in Motion” project focuses on transportation infrastructures and the transformations they inscribe within the topography of the city. Ingersoll’s autobiographical fable draws attention to how the passion for toy trains and the imaginary world of childhood relates to utopian ideals and problems of urban integration. Includes notes by Haddad on the history of the toys exhibited, and a list of toys and games in the exhibition

En chantier : Les collections du CCA, 1989-1999 = En chantier : The Collections of the CCA, 1989-1999

Catalogue published on the occasion of an exhibition presenting the artworks, objects and documents – related to architecture, urbanism and landscaping – acquired by the Canadian Centre for Architecture during its second decade of existence (1989-99). K. W. Forster suggests that a collection’s identity and vitality reside in its “rich depths” and “secret animus.” Lambert considers the collection in relation to the CCA’s research and exhibition activities. She suggests the collection is developed around notions of process and relationships, and favours a global approach to architecture (one that places it in its natural and social environment). Olsberg discusses acquisitions made by the CCA between 1989-99. Includes list of main donors
