About the Book

Joyau de l'architecture et de la culture canadienne, l'édifice du Parlement du Canada, aussi appelé édifice du Centre, s'est trouvé au coeur de la démocratie parlementaire canadienne pendant la plus grande partie du siècle dernier. L'édifice du Parlement, et sa Tour de la Paix néo-gothique emblématique, approchant de son 100e anniversaire, il sera fermé pendant une décennie au moins pour subir des rénovations bien nécessaires. Bien qu'une génération entière sera privée de l'occasion d'admirer les merveilles de cet édifice, Un portrait du Parlement du Canada en offre un témoignage écrit et illustré permanent à ce tournant de son histoire. Renfermant de remarquables photographies de William McElligott et des articles thématiques inspirants rédigés par des spécialistes de renom, cet ouvrage dresse un portrait collectif de l'un des plus grands symboles du Canada depuis ses origines jusqu'à nos jours et aborde les plans tracés pour son avenir. L'édifice du Parlement, où siègent aussi bien le Sénat que la Chambre des communes, est dévoilé sous plusieurs angles: son histoire étonnante, ses architectes visionnaires, les grandes aspirations qu'il suscite, les fonctions démocratiques qu'il représente, ses caractéristiques urbaines, le paysage pittoresque qui l'entoure, sa puissance architecturale, l'ingéniosité de sa conception, les significations symboliques de ses décorations, les souvenirs plus pénibles qui s'y rattachent, son évolution faisant écho à la croissance de la nation, et les difficultés, les occasions et les innovations technologiques liées à la rénovation architecturale la plus ambitieuse de l'histoire du Canada - un édifice du Parlement revivifié à l'image du vingt et unième siècle et au-delà. Pour la première fois dans l'histoire, ce portrait propose une analyse intime du caractère et de l'esprit qui animent le Parlement du Canada, ainsi que de la valeur exceptionnelle conférée par des générations de Canadiens au style, au contenu et à l'emplacement de cet édifice. Parmi les collaborateurs, signalons les noms de Robert Allsopp (planificateur urbain), Lyse Blanchet (spécialiste de la conservation), Adrienne Clarkson (26e gouverneure générale du Canada, 1999-2005), Linda Dicaire (architecte paysagiste), Mariana Esponda (professeure agrégée, Université Carleton), Stephen Fai (professeur agrégé, Université Carleton), Lyne Fontaine (spécialiste de la conservation), Lyette Fortin (instructrice en conservation architecturale, Université Carleton), Jacqueline Hucker (historienne en architecture), Fern Mackenzie (historienne en architecture), Johanna Mizgala (conservatrice), David Monaghan (conservateur), Audrey O'Brien (greffière émérite, Chambre des communes), Jill Stoner (directrice, Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, Université Carleton) et Allan Teramura (architecte).
