Please see page 31 of the Fall Program for details. 2 MCLL Symposium on Age-Friendly Universities You must be wondering what all the recent talk about age-friendly cities, communities and universities is all about. The concept has been around for a while, since 2006 in fact when the World Health Organization (WHO) developed the Global Age-Friendly Cities Project. This project brought together cities from around the world that were interested in supporting healthy aging by becoming more age-friendly. These cities gathered infor- mation from seniors, senior-care providers and other groups and individu- als with an interest in age-friendly communities. The information they gathered touched upon transportation, social participation, learning, housing, etc.,in other words, domains that affect the quality of our daily lives as senior citizens and adult learners. The MCLL symposium will go further than that. It will look at the far- reaching implications of our world’s rapidly changing technology, in- creased life expectancy and rising proportion of older age groups not only for teaching and learning but also for living and the transfer of knowledge in the 21st century.

  • Representing Canadian Justice: Legal Iconography and Symbolism at the Supreme Court of Canada
    International Journal of Law in Context, 14,1 pp. 132–156 (2018) © Cambridge University Press 2017 doi:10.1017/S1744552317000180 Representing Canadian justice: legal iconography and symbolism at the Supreme Court of Canada David DesBaillets* Abstract This paper examines the intersection between a distinctly Canadian legal culture and the legal architecture, symbolism and iconography of its Supreme Court building in Ottawa. I begin from the premise originally put forward in Resnik and Curtis’s study of legal architecture. I proceed with an analysis of the Court’s history, aesthetic and decorative elements, geography and design, artistic and legal vision of the architect, and the social, political and historical contexts in which it was created, as well as key legal and constitutional concepts embodied by the Court’s legal architecture and a comparative analysis with another courthouse in Montreal (the Édifice Ernest Cormier). The paper demonstrates that the challenges of creating a courthouse that reflects the legal traditions and evolving social norms as well as the aspirations of a dynamic, democratic and pluralistic society are almost impossible. It remains a problematic question whether the image of justice that the Court evokes to the observer is the most ‘eloquent three dimensional representation of the role the Supreme Court has assumed in the life of the nation’ (Canada and Supreme Court, 2000, p. 207). ‘Art Deco is like a diamond...its lines are precise perfect.’ (Supreme Court Justice Antonio Lamer) I. Introduction In her innovative work on the subject of legal architecture, British legal scholar Linda Mulcahy examines the question of architecture in the context of British history and contemporary legal institutions, and speculates that the lawyers’ obsession with the written word accounts for their lack of analysis of their physical surroundings.

  • The Modern Landscape Architecture of the Université De Montréal Campus Final
    © Nicole Valois, 2015 The Modern Landscape Architecture of the Université de Montréal Campus Nicole Valois The original French version of this article was published in Cahiers de géographie du Québec, Volume 56, No. 158, September 2012. Translation by Nancy Dunton. Introduction The landscape of the Université de Montréal campus, because of the way it is sited on the north flank of Mount Royal, is unique. The tower of the main building, situated on the mountain’s summit and surrounded by greenery, is one of the iconographic images of Montreal, imprinted on the minds of Montrealers and visitors alike. Undoubtedly because of the prestige that it evokes, the institution regularly uses this image for promotional purposes, as a way of signalling its status as one of the great research universities of Canada.1 Representing the university by promoting the main pavilion and its presence on Mount Royal does, however, push other components of the campus to the background. Buildings and landscape elements built at other times, because of their architectural quality and their ability to represent the evolution of architecture and landscape architecture in Quebec, have themselves a great deal of value (Cameron et al. 2008 and 2010). Therefore, from all the projects that have left their mark on the campus, certain ones deserve particular attention, most notably the open spaces that date from the 1960s. There have been several publications about the architecture and the history of the campus, including Bizier (1993) and Gournay (1990), but until now no study has looked exclusively at the composition of exterior spaces - and this despite the fact that these spaces were the object of particular attention in the 1960s as the major components of the campus expansion.

Our focus in Fall 2012 is the social analysis of the built environment. What are our most useful interpretive tools for understanding the social impact of architecture? How do we gather architectural information? The course invites you to analyze a Montreal building from nuanced social perspectives, inspired by classic readings since 1980. These readings provide models for the presentations and focus on the cultural landscapes of home. Students are responsible for finding copies of the readings; the suggested texts are on reserve at the library. It is highly recommended students take ARCH 679 in Winter 2013, Writing in Architecture, whose content complements this course. The following books will be useful in this course: Arnold, Dana.

  • The Canadian Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair and the Development of Modernism in Canada
    The Canadian Pavilion At The 1939 New York World's Fair And The Development Of Modernism In Canada The 1939 New York World's Fair is best remembered as a major display of Streamlined Moderne design. Yet interspersed among the oversized machine-like forms of the Streamlined Moderne buildings were mature examples of the Modern Movement. Amid this architectural spectacle, Canada's contribution to the fair passed unnoticed by all but the most diligent visitor. The Canadian Pavilion (figure 1) was neither a monument to the faltering Moderne, like Norman Bel Geddes' General Motors Building (figure 2), nor a prelude to the dominance of the International Style in North America, like Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa's Brazilian Pavilion (figure 3) . A number of influences were manifested in the design of the Canadian Pavilion; while the uncomplicated massing tentatively aspired to Modernism, the symmetrical front facade and cross-axial plan reflected more traditional design ideologies, and the cylindrical elements flanking the front entrance recalled the Moderne style. Although the Canadian Pavilion was not a highlight of the fair, it was representative of contemporary architectural directions in Canada.
