- This book presents the first in-depth account of the expert knowledge of architectural archivists and the "invisible work" of all practitioners involved in the making of architectural collections. It is based on 2-year long ethnographic observation at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, and interviews with architects conducted between 2015 and 2018, including Álvaro Siza and Peter Eisenman. It comprises 52 interviews (in English and French) with archivists, architects, conservators, cataloguers, digital specialists, librarians, and curators; the transcriptions amount to thousands of pages, without the ethnographic notes; it is complemented by institutional, private, CCA and firm archives never explored before.
