Architecture by Design: Exhibiting Architecture Architecturally Le design de l’architecture : Présenter l’architecture architecturalement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Drawing on a series of exhibitions curated and installed at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montréal throughout the 1990s and the early millennium, this essay analyzes how architecture and its representation in museological exhibitions have innovated forms of communication and display practices, transcending the traditions established by the fine arts paradigm since the late eighteenth century. The author argues that in addition to providing a heightened recognition of the narrative and performative potential of the exhibitionary setting, the discourses and tensions specific to architecture and architectural practice have led to a rethinking of the communicative potential of the exhibition environment. Principles inherent to architecture—spatiality, materiality, and the experiential—are fruitful when considering the possibilities of exhibition design to elucidate multiple levels of meaning, and these principles have led to architecture’s coming-of-age in the museological environment in ways that are specific to re aedificatoria—the art of building itself.<br>S’inspirant d’une série d’expositions conçues et installées par le Centre Canadien d’Architecture à Montréal des années 1990 au début du millénaire, cet article analyse les innovations en matière de communication et de présentation apportées par l’architecture et sa représentation dans les lieux muséologiques, délaissant des traditions établies par les beaux-arts depuis la fin du dix-huitième siècle. En plus de mettre en évidence le potentiel narratif et performatif de l’environnement d’exposition, les discours et tensions spécifiques à l’architecture et à sa pratique ont mené à une réflexion en profondeur du potentiel communicatif de l’environnement de l’exposition. Les principes propres à l’architecture—la spatialité, la matérialité et l’expérience—sont générateurs de nouvelles possibilités pour le processus de design d’exposition. Ces nouveaux principes permettent d'éclairer des niveaux de sens multiples et ont mené à une nouvelle ère de l’exposition d’architecture selon la conception spécifique du re aedificatoria—l’art de l’architecture.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
