From Moscow to Montreal: Highlights of the Russian Special Collections at the Canadian Centre for Architecture
Over the past forty years, the Canadian Centre for Architecture has acquired significant holdings of books, periodicals, and photographs as well as selected prints, drawings, and archival materials related to Russian and East European architecture, architectural history, and urban and regional planning from the eighteenth century to the present. Its collection of Russian and East European avant-garde books, journals, photographs, and drawings, and its holdings of Soviet architecture publications, are particularly outstanding. Selected items have been showcased in exhibitions and publications, most prominently in the exhibitions Architectural Drawings of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1917-1935 and Soviet Avant-Garde Publications in 1991, The Anatomy of the Architectural Book in 2016, and Building a new New World: Amerikanizm in Russian Architecture, curated by Jean-Louis Cohen, in 2019 and 2020.

In this session, CCA reference librarian Tim Klähn will share some of his favourite highlights, and then architect and professor Jean-Louis Cohen will present on his recent CCA exhibition. A Q&A will follow.

The session is free and open to all. Register here.

Sa collection de livres, revues, photographies et dessins de l'avant-garde russe et est-européenne, ainsi que son fonds de publications sur l'architecture soviétique, sont particulièrement remarquables. Des pièces sélectionnées ont été présentées dans des expositions et des publications, notamment dans les expositions Dessins d'architecture de l'avant-garde russe, 1917-1935 et Publications de l'avant-garde soviétique en 1991, L’anatomie du livre d’architecture en 2016 et Construire un nouveau Nouveau Monde: L’amerikanizm dans l’architecture russe, sous le commissariat de Jean-Louis Cohen, en 2019 et 2020.
