Proposing a post-secondary programme and facility which looks towards the integration and interdisciplinary exploration between the trades, crafts, fine arts, and the public, this thesis aims to promote the value of the conscious act of making. These ideas are developed through the placement of the building on site, the organization of the programme to encourage affinities and interactions, and the development of building details and systems which exhibit the work of the building trades and allow for the exhibition of student work. The proposed facility is located in Lethbridge, Alberta and integrates elements of the University of Lethbridge, Faculty of Fine Arts, and the Lethbridge College, School of Apprenticeship and Trades. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank Karla for her continued support and understanding throughout the course of my studies, including her patience through many nights spent home alone with the dog, and a number of birthday dinners ruined by a quick nap gone wrong. I would also like to thank my parents for always encouraging me to continue my education and offer my apologies for all of the family gatherings missed. I would like to thank Catherine and Emanuel for their work with me on the development of this thesis. Their knowledge and expertise has been an invaluable asset. Thank you as well to Steve Parcell and Bev Nightingale for their work behind the scenes to ensure the schedule and high standards of the thesis program are maintained. Finally I would like to thank Art Ferrari for revealing the joy of the business of architecture and the personal relationships it fosters; Dan Westwood for sharing his love of the profession and teaching me the joy of designing and making things for oneself; and Henry Warszawski for sharing his vast knowledge of the technical side of building and the great satisfaction that comes from ensuring that things are done right. VI INTRODUCTION Research Question How can the industrial legacy of place and a focus on methods of production inform an architectural aesthetic and building programme? Can these influences help express and encourage exchange between the trades, crafts, fine arts, and the public? Background In the past half-century the western world has undergone a cultural evolution removing the need for many of its citizens to participate directly in the production of material goods. Industrialization, combined with the reduced costs of labour in the developing world, has allowed for the responsibility for production of a large majority of the goods which define our culture to be exported. While the implementation of wide-spread industrialized production initially offered the potential to supply all of society with low-cost, high-quality goods, this dream has yet to be realized. Most people today have no choice but to consume disposable, low-quality, low- cost goods in order to achieve a quality of life defined by quantity of material possessions rather than quality. Rather than the continuing cycle of consumption and disposal of poorly made goods, the value and longevity of well designed and well made products needs to be understood. A shift is required in our perception of value. While this is ultimately an economic argument, an increased understanding and appreciation of the skill inherent in making can help achieve an increased appreciation of the quality of production. It is my contention that mankind has an inherent desire to understand and consciously participate in the production of his or her material surroundings. Our loss of a culture of production at the hands of a globalised economy has robbed us of an outlet for a basic instinct to make. Therefore, it is by fostering an opportunity to connect the public more directly to a place of production, that the potential for an increased appreciation of the value of the conscious act of making can be developed. Art, Craft, and the Trades Traditionally, the separation between the fine arts, crafts, and trades, though difficult to define, has evolved around distinctions between the idea and the means by which it is expressed. Ever since the first artists were elevated above their fellow craftsmen by the recognition of a spark of genius there has been a separation perceived between the idea - the spark - and the means by which that idea is expressed. Though craft was important, it was the expression of the idea that would separate the artist from the craftsman. While the fine arts have embraced some elements of craft and adapted them to artistic expression, most recognizably painting, other crafts have historically been relegated as more practical and therefore lesser pursuits. Craft is a term which defines a skill in a certain area of work, be it a skill with a specific type of material or in a specific method of working. Craftspersons traditionally included masons and stoneworkers, blacksmiths, spinners and weavers, and ceramicists, to name a few. Each of these labels define a producer who has worked to achieve a mastery of a material and working method, and who is able to apply that skill in the production of goods. The craftsperson is one who typically produces by hand, small and medium-scale goods. Hand crafted goods are valued primarily as an expression of the skill of the craftsperson in the execution of his or her craft rather than as the expression of a critical concept or statement which may exist outside of the work itself. Those crafts which have shown the most potential to the production of highly practical large-scale goods, such as buildings and industrial equipment, have been removed yet again from the arena of craft and given the title of trade.

  • Book Reviews 69 the Canadian Pacific Railway and The
    Book Reviews 69 The Canadian Pacific Railway and the Development of Western Canada i8g6-igi4, by John A. Eagle. Kingston, Montreal, and London: Mc- Gill-Queen's University Press, 1989. Pp. xvi, 325; illus.; maps. This is the third book devoted to the activities of the Canadian Pacific in western Canada to appear in recent years. First came The CPR West, edited by Hugh Dempsey, which printed most of the papers presented at a conference sponsored by the Glenbow Museum to celebrate the centenary of the arrival of steel at Calgary. This was followed by Robert Turner's West of the Great Divide, a. detailed and lavishly illustrated history of the physical aspects of the railway in British Columbia. Now comes this third volume, a general history that complements the earlier studies, either by giving additional details or by dealing with matters that did not fall within their schemes of things. Its most interesting contribution is its account of the circumstances and negotiations that resulted in the historic Crowsnest Pass agreement of 1897 and the twenty-year battle with James J. Hill and his Great Northern Railroad that followed. Other major themes are Canadian Pacific's policies regarding land sales and settlement, and the expansion of the rail system and its equipment with amenities to attract the tourist and traveller. All this took place during a long period of virtually unbroken prosperity in Canada, which happened to coincide in great part with Thomas Shaugh- nessy's years as president of Canadian Pacific (1899-1918). As early as 1891, Sir William Van Home, Shaughnessy's predecessor, had warned Sir John Macdonald that he could "hardly imagine anything more dangerous to the interests of the Dominion .

Thanks Mom. iii Abstract As Canada joins other nations in observing a succession of First World War centenaries, the public narrative constructed over the past hundred years holds up the Great War, particularly the battle for Vimy Ridge, as a pivotal point in Canadian history that forged our national identity. This thesis sets aside this romanticised and idealised construct, focusing upon the regional and cultural variations specific to Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta. While much work has been done on the French-English divide, comparatively few microstudies have examined the distinctive experiences and regional nuances of other communities within this vast and diverse nation.

  • Canadian Rail No269 1974
    Rail SHOVEL ON A LITTLE MORE COAL! Colin J. Churcher ,.' hould you ever decide to join the Railway Branch, Surface Iransport Administration, S Department of Transport, Government of Canada, you can expect to become involved in a variety of undertakings, most of which are related to a greater or lesser de­ gree to railways. But who could have imagined that an apparently innocent tele- phone call in mid-April 1973 would have projected me into the steam locomotive procurement and operation business? It was unb~lievable, but it was a fact. A steam locomotive was required for operation in the Ottawa, Canada area by July 1, 1973 and I was expected to pro­ cure it. When I became involved, the terminal date was about 75 days away. I n the early 1970s, steam locomotives were like gold: precious and scarce. But there were and are a number of diligent modern-day prospectors like Mr. Duncan du Fresne of the Air Traffic Control Section, Air Administration, Department of Transport. You might think that a person working for Air Traffic Control would not know anything about railways but, in Dunc's case, the exoct opposite is the case. Dunc could tell me that a group in Toronto had an opera- ting steam engine, which just might be available for the proposed Ottawa operation. Taking a chance, I made a telephone call and, within a short time, I had determined that Ontario Rail Association did have an ex-Canadian Pacific Railway 4-6-0 Locomotive, Number 1057, which was available for the summer season.
