Gae Aulenti, Ada Louise Huxtable, Phyllis Lambert, sur lâarchitecture et la ville
24.09-28.11.2025
NĂ©es dans les annĂ©es 1920, les architectes Gae Aulenti et Phyllis Lambert et la critique Ada Louise Huxtable comptent parmi les figures les plus influentes de lâarchitecture et du design dans lâeffervescence de lâaprĂšs-guerre. PionniĂšres dâun milieu dominĂ© par les hommes, actrices majeures de la transition entre le modernisme et le postmodernisme, elles partent Ă la conquĂȘte dâun espace public quâelles vont modeler et construire. Ă partir dâimages dâarchive, de dessins et de photographies, cette exposition met en lumiĂšre leurs rĂ©alisations emblĂ©matiques et entrecroise leurs trajectoires biographiques pour repenser le rĂŽle crucial des femmes dans lâhistoire de lâarchitecture du XXe siĂšcle.
DĂ©couvrez lâexposition commentĂ©e par la curatrice LĂ©a-Catherine Szacka, lors dâune visite guidĂ©e le mercredi 15 octobre Ă 18h, en français.

CROSSED HISTORIES
Gae Aulenti, Ada Louise Huxtable, Phyllis Lambert, on Architecture and the City
Born in the 1920s, critic Ada Louise Huxtable and architects Gae Aulenti and Phyllis Lambert were among the most influential figures in architecture and design during the postwar boom. Pioneers in a largely male-dominated field and key players in the transition from modernism to postmodernism, they set out to conquer the public spaces they designed and built. Through accounts, archival images, drawings and photographs, this exhibition sheds light on some of their emblematic achievements and interweaves their extraordinary biographies to rethink the crucial role of women in the history of 20th-century architecture.
This exhibition was produced by the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris
