  • Arthur Erickson's Concrete Trevor Boddy
    I first heard Arthur Erickson speak of the importance of The Constructed Landscape: concrete to his designs in the late 1970s. As the student charged with organizing lectures at my architecture school in Arthur Erickson’s Concrete Calgary, a first talk there by Canada’s most prominent modern architect was my top priority. I called his office, but Erickson’s personal secretary informed me he no longer gave lectures to universities, only to “bankers and chambers of commerce.” I persisted, and arranged to have the Vancouver- based designer speak to a luncheon gathering of downtown businessmen. One of Erickson’s phrases in his talk that day cycled around my student brain long after he got on the airplane back to Vancouver, and the Calgary businessmen got back to pumping oil. While I did not recognize it as being so at the time, he voiced a widely-quoted shibboleth as an aside: “Concrete is the marble of the 20th century.” The use of concrete Trevor Boddy validated through comparison with a now-expensive traditional material? The reference seemed archaic to me, in part because my architectural history studies had just taught me that the ancient shores of the Mediterranean were the last home to marble used as both structure and finish for public buildings. Or was Erickson inferring something more complex with this, as in late Roman and post-Renaissance uses of marble—a veneer finish, while bricks or cheaper stones did the structural work behind, a composite in the same way steel reinforcing rods make large span and thin shell concrete structures possible? Arthur Erickson’s concrete buildings demonstrate both of these tendencies—an extension of building logic of the material itself, and a classicizing sensibility, especially in their spatial logic and recurring use of the trabeated frame.

Settler architecture arrived with the rise of an agrarian society and urban centers, like Winnipeg. In 1905 both Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces.

  • Nation-Making and the National Museum of the American Indian
    ALL FOR ONE: NATION-MAKING AND THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by William Neal Skinner August 2009 © 2009 William Neal Skinner ABSTRACT In September 2004, the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington DC provided the nation with another opportunity to self-narrate on both sub-national and national levels. For many Native and non-Native peoples, the newest Smithsonian Institution represented not only a new method of museological practice based on self-governance and representation but also that Native America existed prior to European Contact, continues today and is worthy of being understood as both part and precursor of a larger collective identity of the nation. This occurred with the museum’s successful Mitsitam Café whereby American cuisine was defined with a Native genesis. The landscape, as well, was scripted as begin original to the northeastern habitat of the United States, in contrast to the Beaux-Arts inspired landscapes of Europe which define the rest of the National Mall. A sensory engagement with both the Café and landscaped grounds, moreover, would separate this particular museal space- intended to be a Native place- from its neighbors. How the senses attend to an engagement with the museum is central to the planning behind the institution- as well as my analysis- whereby the sensorium is mediated both for public consumption and to meeting particular ideological ends. At the same time that Native America is re-presented in our nation’s capital, however, sub-national agendas are continually negotiated by the nation-state, whether aligned or not.

However, its role is not only passive: the built environment impacts the experience of the users. Museum architecture offers a good example since it plays an active role in shaping the viewer’s perception of an exhibit. In Canada, several museums present exhibitions on the Aboriginal peoples and their role in the shared history. This research report studies museum architecture’s impact on the viewer’s understanding of Aboriginal cultures. Three case studies were chosen: the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and the Montréal Museum of History and Archaeology Pointe-à-Callière. The three museums adopt different architecture and curatorial approaches. 2 Résumé L’architecture reflète les valeurs et aspirations de la société qui la produit. Mais son rôle n’est pas uniquement passif : l’environnement bâti contribue à former l’expérience de ses utilisateurs.

    2009 EDMONTON URBAN DESIGN AWARDS 2009 | Jury Members Douglas J. Cardinal, B.Arch., O.A.A., A.I.A., A.A.A., M.A.A., S.A.A., O.C., R.C.A.A., F.R.A.I.C., F.R.I.A.S. Architect, Douglas Cardinal Architect Inc. Ottawa, Ontario Douglas J. Cardinal is a Canadian architect with an international reputation for excellence in natural design. He has been credited with having created an indigenous Canadian style of architecture with his curvilinear, organic buildings. Although his most recent and significant commission was the Canadian Museum of Civilization, in Hull, Quebec, Mr. Cardinal established an early reputation in Western Canada with his design for St. Mary’s Church in Red Deer, the Grande Prairie Regional College, the Edmonton Space and Sciences Centre, the Government Services Centre in Ponoka, St. Albert Place and several other public buildings. Mr. Cardinal believes that the design of each building is a spiritual act that demands from all those participating in it the very best of their endeavours. At the start of each project, he declares a total commitment to excellence in architecture and to serving the needs of his client and demands the same commitment from all of his staff and sub consul- tants. His contribution to the field of architecture has earned him several awards, provincially and nationally, as well as national and international recognition. Douglas Cardinal was present- ed with the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts in March 2001 and is the recipient of Canada’s most coveted honour, the Order of Canada.

  • Aboriginal Peoples of Alberta
    Introduction The Provincial Archives of Alberta is a “total archives”, not only preserving the documentary heritage of the Alberta Government, but also that of individuals, businesses, organizations, associations and communities of Alberta. As such, the Provincial Archives holds records pertaining to personal papers of individuals as well as business, religious, artistic, organizational, community and cultural life. Since its establishment in 1963, the Provincial Archives has acquired a wide assortment of records, including records relating to Alberta’s Aboriginal peoples. These include both Alberta Government records as well as records from private individuals and organizations. Several media types and formats are represented – textual records, photographs, maps, audio recordings and film/video recordings. These records range in date from the 1880s to the 1990s and represent a very broad variety of subjects including such topics as material culture, relations with government, health care, education and economic development. The records represent Alberta society at any given point in time. An archival fonds1 may include material on a wide range of different subjects. Sometimes all of the various subjects may not be clearly identified in the available finding aids. Consequently, relevant material is occasionally difficult to locate within a much larger body of records. The purpose of this bibliography, therefore, is to provide improved access to archival records about Alberta’s Aboriginal peoples contained within the holdings of the Provincial Archives. The records in the following bibliography are arranged by accession number. An accession is a discrete body of records received from a single source at the same time. An accession may be as small as single photograph or as large as 100 linear meters of records.
