Opening Program:

6.45pm — Lecture by Léa-Catherine Szacka
7.30pm — Opening of the exhibition door and aperitive
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 with Léa-Catherine Szacka, curator and Catherine Bédard, associated curator.
