Including seventy-eight authors and eighty-seven essay s\, these volumes—much like the historic works they reference—explore the capacity of language to address fundamental issues of meaning in architect ure.\n\nIn collaboration with 91˿Ƶ-Queen's University Press and the McGi ll School of Architecture\, the 91˿Ƶ Library and Archives' Ra re Books and Special Collections will be hosting a book launch on Wednesda y\, March 30 at 6pm for the final volume of CHORA: Intervals in the philos ophy of architecture.\n\nThe event will also act as a vernissage for the a ccompanying exhibition\, “CHORA: The Space of Architectural Meaning”\, cur ated by Youki Cropas and Evan Pavka. Drawing on the numerous essays\, alon g with the holdings of Rare Books and Special Collections\, this exhibitio n brings together a selection of works addressing themes of communication\ , culture\, myth\, harmony\, perception\, instrumentality\, history\, and desire. Though emerging from works across a broad historical spectrum\, th e questions posed in each volume continue to permeate contemporary archite ctural discourse and to inspire explorations of meaning in the built world .\n\nFor more information on the CHORA series\, please click here. \n DTSTART:20160330T220000Z DTEND:20160331T000000Z LOCATION:Rare Book and Special Collections\, 4th Floor\, McLennan Library B uilding\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0C9\, 3459 rue McTavish SUMMARY:CHORA 7: Book release and exhibition vernissage URL:/channels/event/chora-7-book-release-and-exhibitio n-vernissage-259835 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
