The preserved record of architecture in Canada is so important.
When Nicola Krantz first became an archivist, she noticed the architectural collection didn’t represent the diverse range of talent found across Canada. Now, she’s changing that, one acquisition at a time. Watch below as Krantz guides us through the breathtaking stained glass of Sarah Hall, the first woman added to our private architecture archives.

Join us on Monday, November 4 for Architecture and Activism: Axel Timm. The practice of our collective raumlaborberlin refers very much to Lefebvre´s quote “Space is a product of (social) interaction." Thus our approach to the city and towards architecture is not the built space or the building of space in particular but rather the conception, the perception – the inhabiting of it. Within our approach with a focus on public or semi public space - we work at the intersection of architecture, city planning, art and urban intervention. In our work we address the city and urban renewal as a process connected to preferably all users of those spaces. For more event information: https://myumi.ch/egqGn
Imagine creating something so Iconic, that it becomes a city’s identity. Imagine creating architecture that can capture the imagination of millions of people around the world. IM Pei was one of the most famous and celebrated architects of his time. But did you know he developed weapons for the United States during World War II? Or that his firm had such a huge disaster that they did not build anything in the US for 7 whole years? Even the famous Louvre Pyramid, turned the entire city against him. This is one of the most interesting tales you have ever heard. DO checkout my latest documentary on the life & designs of I M Pei https://lnkd.in/gy9U2gPi

If, like me, you've sometimes felt yourself to be embarrassingly dim-witted (especially in obscure after-dinner talk with architects, and the like) because you've struggled with the connections and disconnections between the built reality of Ticino late-modernism from the 1960s to 1980s and the theoretical "tendenza" constructions that were simultaneously woven around it, help is here. In this wonderful book, Irina Davidovici steers a way through the confusions, admirably decoding, demystifying and re-analysing the complicated ins and outs of the "debate", including the latent and blatant paradoxes, and importantly adding another missing layer herself. Quite apart from the privilege of being able to read Davidovici's MS from beginning to end and work with her on the text, the book leaves me, for one, far more enlightened … as well as feeling intellectually less self-inferior and better equipped to fight with other future dinner guests! In short: I thoroughly recommend taking the time to read this, should the urge take you. https://lnkd.in/dmwMd2kw
Venue <> Architect: The Context The relationship between human activity and venue is better understood as a recursive dialogue: venues provide the essential context for human existence and action, while human activities continuously transform and create new venues. This creates a dynamic interplay where venues both precede and emerge from human activity, forming an ever-evolving framework for the unfolding of life and history. ⚙️•••note•••🤳 Exploring Spatial Philosophy Through Art with Claude 3.5: Venues, Architects, Contexts, Frameworks, and Enablers. For a potential paper on this topic, Claude 3.5 suggested the title: ‘Venues as History’s Enablers: A Spatial-Philosophical Exploration Through Art’

More work from the MArch studio at the School of Architecture and Design University for the Creative Arts. This term, students have been developing models via collage to explore hybrid housing typologies. Next term we will be taking these experiments into the Kent Downs where students will propose new rural housing at the scale of the small village or hamlet.
