"The 60s: Montréal Thinks Big" at the Canadian Centre for Architecture

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2005 / May 17

“The 60s: Montréal Thinks Big,” on view through September 11 at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montréal, examines the impact architecture and urban planning of the 1960s had on the city. The exhibition makes use of the CCA’s extensive archive of drawings, sketches, films, and original architectural and urban scale models of the time. A series of connected rooms steers the visitor through an enormous treasure trove of information. Film, video, and advertising of the period are used to help place the urban and architectural aspirations in social context.
