Queacutebec City June 27th 2008
Dear Monique
I have now returned from Stockholm where I attended theArchitecture Commission as the official representative ofCanada and official voting delegate for CITTICTS this past June13 to 17
Just as Raija Hirvikoski a Finnish scenographer and keynotespeaker at the laquoScenotecture amp Archigraphyraquo Symposium heldon June 15 who addressed us using an imaginary letterwritten to the renowned international architect Avar Aalto laquoIfas a Scenographer one will meet a Theatre Architectraquo I toowish to write you of my tales and experience at Stockholm
I arrived in Stockholm in the evening of June 13 from Portugalwhere I visited from top to bottom two recently built venuesThe Teatro Municipal in Almada a small town facing Lisbonacross the river Tage is a project created by architect ManualGracia-Dias whom Irsquove met The Teatro Municipal was built incollaboration with the French scenographer Jean-Guy Lecat acolleague that I know very well and the Casa de Musica inPorto designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhass winner ofan international architect competition (wwwctalmadapt and

Je trsquoassure Monique que la visite de ces deux projets mrsquoa vraimentmis dans lrsquoesprit de ce qui allait suivre agrave Stockholm Sache drsquoabordque cette anneacutee pour la toute premiegravere fois semble-t-il lesrencontres des comiteacutes Architecture et Sceacutenographie avaient lieuen mecircme temps et au mecircme endroit ce qui a vraiment eacuteteacute tregravesbeacuteneacutefique pour les membres des deux groupes et qui a permisdrsquoouvrir le deacutebat beaucoup plus largement entre architectes etsceacutenographes Cela explique donc lrsquointroduction de Raija Hirvikoskidont je te parlais au tout deacutebut
Mais avant de parler du congregraves lui-mecircme quelques commentairessur Stockholm et sur notre heacutebergement Stockholm est une villeextraordinaire dont on dit qursquoelle est la Venise du Nord Elle estcomposeacutee drsquoun chapelet drsquoinnombrables icirclots relieacutes par des pontsou des quais Lrsquoarchitecture de plusieurs eacutepoques est eacutetonnante derichesse de styles et de diversiteacute de mateacuteriaux et de volumeacutetriesTout semble avoir eacuteteacute soigneusement restaureacute et reacutenoveacute Les ruessont planteacutees drsquoarbres et font place agrave la fois aux pieacutetons et auxcyclistes auxquels les automobilistes doivent donner prioriteacute Nouseacutetions logeacutes sur le AF Chapman un bateau trois-mats entiegraverementreacutenoveacute et transformeacute en auberge de jeunesse ne renfermant quedes chambres doubles avec lits agrave deux eacutetages et toilettescommunes dans le corridor Une solution drsquoheacutebergement forteacuteconomique pour lrsquoorganisation de la confeacuterence qui en assumaitle coucirct mais qui ne plaisait pas agrave tous speacutecialement agrave moi qui ai lesommeil leacuteger drsquoun oiseau et qui ronfle Jrsquoai donc opteacute pourune chambre drsquohocirctel standard plus conforme agrave mes exigencesminimales mais dont le coucirct fut neacuteanmoins astronomiqueStockholm eacutetant lrsquoune des villes les plus chegraveres au monde
Ancreacute au quai Skeppsholmen le bateau eacutetait situeacute agrave proximiteacute duMuseacutee de lrsquoarchitecture (wwwarkitekturmuseetse) ougrave nosrencontres de travail et diverses confeacuterences avaient lieu Unendroit formidable avec terrasse sur le port adjacent au Museacuteedrsquoart moderne finement conccedilu par le renommeacute architecteespagnol Rafael Moneo (wwwmodernamuseetse)
Le 14 juinLa rencontre du comiteacute Architecture a donc deacutebuteacute le matin du 14juin Elle eacutetait organiseacutee par lrsquoarchitecte sueacutedois Torsten Noblingque nous devons sincegraverement remercier pour la qualiteacute despreacutesentations des visites et de lrsquoatelier
Les membresNous eacutetions seize membres du comiteacute Architecture agrave y participerprovenant de nombreux pays Torsten Nobling (Suegravede) Martienvan Goor Kiem-Liam Theacute et Caroline Noteboom (Hollande)Reinhold Daberto (Allemagne) Mac Chan (Malaysie) Pjotr Obracaj(Pologne) Anne Minors (Royaume-Uni) Toshiya Kusuka (Japon)Johu Gronholm (Finlande) Mihaly Vargha (Pologne) LenkaBednarova (Reacutepublique tchegraveque) Pu Lin (Taiwan) et RobertHamilton Wes Jenkins et moi-mecircme (Canada)
Les aspects administratifsLa premiegravere seacuteance de travail a porteacute sur des aspects administratifsLe preacutesident sortant du comiteacute Architecture Reinhold Daberto afait eacutetat de la situation financiegravere qui tout en eacutetant tregraves modestepermet les activiteacutes de la prochaine anneacutee M Daberto a eacuteteacute reacuteeacuteluagrave lrsquounanimiteacute pour un terme de quatre ans aucun autre candidatne srsquoeacutetant porteacute volontaire pour assurer la preacutesidence bien que lerepreacutesentant de la Hongrie ait proposeacute la candidature delrsquoarchitecte de theacuteacirctre Tim Foster du Royaume-Uni dont la santeacutene permet malheureusement pas drsquoimplication soutenue au sein

I assure Monique that visiting those two projects really set the tonefor what was to follow in Stockholm As you were aware it was Ibelieve the first time that both the Architecture and ScenographyCommission meetings were held jointly which was beneficial tothe members of both groups and allowed for a larger open debatebetween architects and scenographers And which explains theintroduction of Raija Hirvikoski as mentioned above
But before talking about the meetings I would like to share somepersonal thoughts on Stockholm and the accommodationsStockholm is an extraordinary city said to be Venice of the North
The city is composed of a rosary of endless islets connected bybridges or docks The architecture of many periods is stunninglyrich in styles and diversity of material and volumes Everythingseems to have been carefully restored and renovated The streetsare planted with trees and offer sufficient space to bothpedestrians and cyclists for whom drivers have to give right of wayWe were set up on the AF Chapman a three-mast ship completelyremodelled and transformed into a hostel offering double roomswith bunk beds and a shared bathroom in the hallway A veryeconomic solution for the hosting organisation that did nothowever please everyone especially me who sleeps like a bird andsnores I opted for a standard room in a nearby hotel that met myminimal expectations despite its astronomical rate Stockholm isafter all among the most expensive cities in the world
Anchored at the Skeppsholmen dock the ship is located near theMuseum of Architecture (wwwarkitekturmuseetse) where ourwork meetings and conferences were held Itrsquos a wonderful placewith a terrace overlooking the port adjacent to the Museum ofModern Art created by the renowned Spanish architect RafaelMoneo (wwwmodernamuseetse)

June 14The Architecture Commission meeting began on the morning ofJune 14 It was organised by Swedish architect Torsten Noblingwho deserves our deepest appreciation for the quality of thepresentations the visits and the workshop
The membersA total of 16 members of the Architecture Commission fromnumerous countries participated at the meetings Torsten Nobling(Sweden) Martien van Goor Kiem-Liam Theacute and CarolineNoteboom (Holland) Reinhold Daberto (Germany) Mac Chan(Malaysia) Pjotr Obracaj (Poland) Anne Minors (United Kingdom)Toshiya Kusuka (Japan) Johu Gronholm (Finland) Mihaly Vargha(Poland) Lenka Bednarova (Czech Republic) Pu Lin (Taiwan) andRobert Hamilton Wes Jenkins and myself (Canada)
Administrative businessThe first working session dealt mostly with administrative businessThe outgoing chair of the Architecture Commission ReinholdDaberto reported on the financial situation whereas beingmodest will still allow for activities during the upcoming year MrDaberto was re-elected by acclamation for a 4-year term no othercandidatures were submitted The Finnish representative didpropose Tim Foster a theatre architect from the United Kingdombut unfortunately he is unable to ensure a proper involvementwithin the commission for health reasons He then proposed twovice chairs Torsten Nobling and Martien van Goor both Europeanarchitects to facilitate future discussions and meetings Themembers approved this proposition unanimously Mr Daberto thenpresented the four major elements of his next mandate
bull Increase and intensify relations with other commissionsespecially the Scenography Commission
bull Increase architectural and technical exchanges betweenmembers of the Architecture Commission without stimulatingcompetition
bull Improve exchange of information on a new website throughthe integration of a standardized data sheet provided tocommission members for each theatre project
bull Find the topic of the next theatre architecture competition inpreparation for the Prague Quadrennial in 2011
TAC 2007We then discussed TAC 2007 (The Architecture Competition) andthe aspects of the programme developed by Tim Foster thatworked reasonably well and those that were more or less resolvedby the participants The topic was a 500-seat theatre built at theedge of a water body (lake or river) The jury met in Germany forfour days The total budget of this competition was 50 000 Eurosincluding 30 000 from OISTAT and the remaining 20 000 fromdifferent sponsors
TAC 2011The topic of the next competition is not yet finalized However weall agreed that the unresolved technical aspects of the 2007 editionbe brought back on the table for the 2011 edition I suggestedthat the project focus on the urban theatre and have the urbanarchitectural and contextual relationship between city and theatreput forward on the basis that many recent projects done bystarchitects such as the Casa da Musica in Porto obliterate thiscrucial aspect in favour of purely symbolic buildings the new urbanicons

menu en 2011 Jrsquoai suggeacutereacute que le projet soit un theacuteacirctre urbain ougravela relation architecturale urbaine et contextuelle entre ville ettheacuteacirctre soit mise de lrsquoavant srsquoappuyant sur le fait que denombreux projets reacutealiseacutes reacutecemment par les laquostarchitectsraquocomme la Casa da Musica agrave Porto oblitegraverent cet aspect crucial auprofit drsquoeacutedifices purement symboliques nouvelles icocircnes des villes
La notion du budget de construction avanceacutee par Robert sembleavoir eacuteteacute mise de cocircteacute car ni les eacutetudiants ni leur professeurs nepeuvent adeacutequatement en eacutevaluer les coucircts au profit de lacreacuteation drsquoespaces enthousiasmants et ingeacutenieux stimulant lareacuteflexion sur lrsquoespace theacuteacirctral et lrsquoespace architectural
Lenka Bednarova qui repreacutesente aussi la Quadriennale questionnele type de preacutesentation le papier versus le multimeacutedia afindrsquoenvisager une diffusion plus importante apregraves la QuadriennalePour certains membres du comiteacute lrsquoexposition des projets endessin avec le catalogue semble toujours dlsquoactualiteacute alors que pourdrsquoautres lrsquoInternet est le meilleur veacutehicule Il semble bienMonique que la prochaine exposition sera une version hybride Ence qui concerne le calendrier tous les membres sont drsquoaccord pourlancer le programme au printemps de 2010 afin que les eacutetudiantspuissent deacutevelopper leurs projets agrave lrsquoautomne 2010 et que le toutsoit preacutesenteacute au jury en feacutevrier 2011 Un calendrier similaire agrave celuide TAC 2007
Lrsquoexposition drsquoarchitectureNous avons ensuite discuteacute de lrsquoexposition des projetsdrsquoarchitecture nationaux Jrsquoignorais totalement que des prix eacutetaientremis aux meilleurs projets Je tenterai donc de faire valoir cetaspect lors de la prochaine participation du Canada Tous lesmembres semblaient drsquoaccord sur le fait que lrsquoexposition esthabituellement mal positionneacutee dans le hall drsquoexposition souvent agravela mezzanine et qursquoelle est malheureusement moins assiducircmentfreacutequenteacutee Le comiteacute a mandateacute Lenka Bednarova pour faire partde cette preacuteoccupation aux membres de lrsquoorganisation de PQ2011 Nous croyons que lrsquoexposition des manufacturiers celle desprojets drsquoarchitecture nationaux et celle du concours drsquoarchitectureeacutetudiant devraient ecirctre installeacutees sur un mecircme plancher dans unmecircme vaste endroit permettant une visite mieux inteacutegreacutee et plusstimulante
Lrsquointermegravede entre deux PQIl semble que bien peu drsquoactiviteacutes prennent place entre deuxquadriennales conseacutecutives Ainsi Reinhold Daberto a proposeacuteqursquoun laquoSummer Academyraquo se tienne tous les quatre ans entre lesquadriennales afin de stimuler les eacutechanges et de preacuteparer laquadriennale suivante Cette activiteacute aurait lieu agrave Salzbourg enAutriche en collaboration avec le Mozarteum (University of Musicand Dramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat) pendant le Festival deSalzbourg
LrsquoOISTAT a deacutegageacute une somme de 1000 euros pour deacutevelopper ceprojet La prochaine rencontre du comiteacute Architecture aura donclieu agrave Salzbourg en juin 2009 Je trsquoannonce deacutejagrave Monique que jeplanifie drsquoy participer agrave titre de repreacutesentant officiel et votant duCITT

The notion of the construction budget put forward by Robertseems to have been set aside because neither the students northeir teachers can adequately evaluate the costs of creatingexciting and ingenious spaces stimulating reflection on thetheatrical space and architectural space
Lenka Bednarova who also represents the Quadrennialquestioned the type of presentation paper versus multimedia inorder to consider a wider distribution after the Quadrennial Forsome members of the committee the exhibition of draft designprojects with its catalogue still seems valid while for others theInternet is the best vehicle It would seem Monique that the nextexhibition will be a hybrid version Regarding the timetable allmembers agreed to launch the program in the spring of 2010 sothat students can develop their projects in autumn 2010 and thatall be presented to the jury in February 2011 In short a schedulesimilar to the one used for TAC 2007
The architecture exhibitionWe then discussed the exhibition of architectural national projectsI had no idea that awards were given for the best projects so I willtry to make a case using this aspect for the next Canadianparticipation All the members seemed to agree that the exhibit isusually poorly situated in the exhibition hall often on themezzanine and it is unfortunately less attentively attended Thecommittee has appointed Lenka Bednarova to share this concernto members of the PQ 2011 We believe that the exhibit ofmanufacturers the architectural projects and the nationalcompetition for student architecture should be installed on thesame floor in the same location for a better-integrated and morecomprehensive visit
The interlude between two PQ exhibitionsIt seems that very few activities take place between two

Les prochaines rencontres du comiteacute ArchitectureIl a eacuteteacute souligneacute par Torsten Nobling que les coucircts de subsistance etdrsquoheacutebergement dont le comiteacute Architecture deacutefraie pour sesparticipants sont devenus tregraves eacuteleveacutes Il semble que cette pratiqueserait abandonneacutee pour la prochaine rencontre de Salzbourg sansque cela me semble-t-il nrsquoait fait lrsquoobjet drsquoaucun vote speacutecifique
Par ailleurs agrave titre purement speacuteculatif Robert Hamilton soutenupar Wes Jenkins a indiqueacute lrsquointeacuterecirct conjoint de Vancouver et deCalgary de tenir la rencontre de 2012 Cette date semble plausibleparce que plusieurs projets sceacutenographiques auront eacuteteacute compleacuteteacutesdans les deux villes et qursquoil semble aussi que ce soit lagrave la premiegraveredate disponible En effet Salzbourg recevrait la rencontre de 2009potentiellement Rio en 2010 et Prague en 2011 lors de laQuadriennale
Cependant en aparteacute Robert mrsquoindique qursquoil nrsquoest pas certain quelesdits projets seront compleacuteteacutes ce agrave quoi je lui ai mentionneacute que
la ville de Queacutebec pourrait recevoir les rencontres des comiteacutesArchitecture et Sceacutenographie auxquelles devrait srsquoajouter le comiteacuteTechnologique En effet en 2012 le projet de nouvelles salles despectacles de Robert Lepage ameacutenageacutees dans un tunnel deacutesaffecteacutedu centre-ville devrait ecirctre compleacuteteacute depuis longtemps et lacombinaison des activiteacutes du Carrefour international de theacuteacirctre deQueacutebec - de la mi-mai agrave la fin-mai - et de la visite de ce projet etdrsquoautres comme le Palais Montcalm serait un atout additionnel etpourrait constituer un amalgame drsquoactiviteacutes des plus inteacuteressants
Robert Hamilton a aussi souligneacute lrsquoimportance pour les membresdes comiteacutes drsquoecirctre inviteacutes officiellement par lrsquoOISTAT et ses comiteacutesafin de pouvoir mieux justifier le deacuteplacement et le bien-fondeacute desrencontres aupregraves de leurs employeurs et des organismes qui lessubventionnent
consecutive quadrennials Thus Reinhold Daberto proposed that aSummer Academyrdquo be held every four years between thequadrennials to stimulate discussion and to prepare for the nextquadrennial This activity would take place in Salzburg Austria incollaboration with the Mozarteum (University of Music andDramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat ) during the Salzburg Festival
OISTAT has allocated a sum of 1000 euros to help develop thisproject The next meeting of the Architecture Commission will beheld in Salzburg in June 2009 I am letting you know Moniquethat I am planning to participate as the official CITT votingdelegate
Other competitionsReinhold Daberto mentions that OISTAT was asked to participateas a consultant in the organization of the theatre architecturalcompetition in Russia and notably the Surgut Theatrerdquo projectDetails to follow
The next meetings of the Architecture CommissionIt was pointed out by Torsten Nobling that the cost of subsistenceand accommodation that the Architecture Commission pays forthe participants at this meeting is very high It seems that thispractice will be abandoned for the next meeting in Salzburgalthough it seems that there was no specific vote on that topic
Furthermore as a purely speculative proposal Robert Hamiltonsupported by Wes Jenkins mentioned a joint interest of bothVancouver and Calgary cities to hold the meeting in 2012 Thisdate seems plausible because several scenographic projects willhave been completed in those two cities and it seems that the year2012 would be the first available date In fact Salzburg will behosting the meeting in 2009 probably Rio in 2010 and Prague in2011 during the Quadrennial
However in private Robert told me he was not sure that thoseprojects would be completed I replied that Queacutebec City couldprobably host the meetings of both Architecture and Scenographycommissions to which we could add the Technology CommissionIndeed in 2012 the proposed new venues designed by RobertLepage in a disused tunnel in the downtown district will have beencompleted for some time and the combination of the Carrefourinternational de theacuteacirctre de Queacutebec - from mid-May to end-May -the tour of the Lepage project and others venues such as the PalaisMontcalm would be an additional benefit and could constitute anamalgam of interesting activities
Robert Hamilton also emphasized the importance for commissionmembers to be officially invited by the OISTAT and its commissionsto better justify the travelling and the value of the meetings withtheir employers and agencies that fund them
The visit of Drottningholms Slottsteater (wwwdtmse)The visit of this theatre in the afternoon was just fantastic Themembers of the Architecture Commission (AC) and theScenography Commission (SC) travelled to the theatre by boat onwhich we all had lunch The theatre built in 1766 is the oldest inEurope to have preserved the architecture and stage machineryfrom the period just like another theatre in the Czech RepublicChesky Krumlov (wwwckrumlovcz) Our guide led us on stageexplaining the astounding stage elements and lighting devices andallowing us to visit some adjacent spaces and the dressing roomsAn unforgettable visit although because of the large size of ourgroup we could not visit the machinery under the stage and the

We then visited the Chinese pavilion before returning toStockholm together for the welcome dinner at the Royal CoinCabinet a museum facing the Royal Palace and located in thefamous historic quarter of Gamla Stan (wwwmyntkabinettetse)
As you can see Monique from day one our conference was prettyintense
June 15The day began with a joint meeting of members of bothcommissions and the introduction of Raija Hirvikoski the Finnishdesigner of whom I have already spoken at the beginning of thislong letter
Evidently she explained very skilfully the architectural problems of
theatres designed by Alvar Aalto the internationally renownedarchitect I must admit she was right If Aalto had consultedtheatre consultants a discipline invented by Richard PilbrowTheater Project Consultants in London and existing at that time Ibelieve that many mistakes both in the auditorium and in theadjacent areas could have been avoided
The workshopThis pungent introduction set the tone for the workshop thatfollowed for much of the day We randomly grouped into eightteams I ended up with Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) that I did notknow yet Peter Ruthven Hall (United Kingdom) Johu (Finland) PuLin (Taiwan) and Jerome Maeckelberghe (Belgium) We discussedmore than designed a new form of theatre a Happy TheatreOur team proceeded by establishing lists of spaces we liked themost and those we liked the least to finally draft a list of those thatamazed us the most and tried to identify patterns or similaritiesOther teams worked differently trying to draw the most optimal

configuration of the ideal theatre
The presentation of Robert Hamiltonrsquos team was particularlysuccessful and fun The result the fruit project which claimed toencompass all other types of theatres is a pineapple (ThePineapple Project) as named by Robert and which I havemockingly renamed the olive project (The Pitt-off Olive Project)
Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers
Presentations of papersThe papers were presented in the museums auditorium and thepresentation was open to architecture and design students and toan interested public

The evening was free I took the opportunity to dine out in townwith the British scenographer Peter Ruthven Hall who invited meto come to Britain in the fall to give a lecture on my work withRobert Lepage
June 16June the 16th the last official day of our meeting was broken intotwo segments We were first invited to a different location withinthe city the Dramatiska Institutet (wwwdraminstse) theUniversity College of the Film Radio Television and Theatrerecently built by our architect host of this conference TorstenNobling
In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice
Jrsquoai personnellement demandeacute que les membres de notre comiteacutepuissent obtenir de bonnes photographies des dessins exeacutecuteacutes parles membres des diffeacuterentes eacutequipes et que nous obtenions uneforme de compte rendu Jrsquoai aussi suggeacutereacute que cette informationsoit disponible et serve de point de deacutepart agrave lrsquoatelier de lrsquoanprochain qui sera tenu agrave Salzbourg Ces demandes ont eacuteteacuteaccueillies tregraves favorablement comme faisant partie drsquoun processuscontinu de recherche

And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games

Dear Monique
I have now returned from Stockholm where I attended theArchitecture Commission as the official representative ofCanada and official voting delegate for CITTICTS this past June13 to 17
Just as Raija Hirvikoski a Finnish scenographer and keynotespeaker at the laquoScenotecture amp Archigraphyraquo Symposium heldon June 15 who addressed us using an imaginary letterwritten to the renowned international architect Avar Aalto laquoIfas a Scenographer one will meet a Theatre Architectraquo I toowish to write you of my tales and experience at Stockholm

Je trsquoassure Monique que la visite de ces deux projets mrsquoa vraimentmis dans lrsquoesprit de ce qui allait suivre agrave Stockholm Sache drsquoabordque cette anneacutee pour la toute premiegravere fois semble-t-il lesrencontres des comiteacutes Architecture et Sceacutenographie avaient lieuen mecircme temps et au mecircme endroit ce qui a vraiment eacuteteacute tregravesbeacuteneacutefique pour les membres des deux groupes et qui a permisdrsquoouvrir le deacutebat beaucoup plus largement entre architectes etsceacutenographes Cela explique donc lrsquointroduction de Raija Hirvikoskidont je te parlais au tout deacutebut
Mais avant de parler du congregraves lui-mecircme quelques commentairessur Stockholm et sur notre heacutebergement Stockholm est une villeextraordinaire dont on dit qursquoelle est la Venise du Nord Elle estcomposeacutee drsquoun chapelet drsquoinnombrables icirclots relieacutes par des pontsou des quais Lrsquoarchitecture de plusieurs eacutepoques est eacutetonnante derichesse de styles et de diversiteacute de mateacuteriaux et de volumeacutetriesTout semble avoir eacuteteacute soigneusement restaureacute et reacutenoveacute Les ruessont planteacutees drsquoarbres et font place agrave la fois aux pieacutetons et auxcyclistes auxquels les automobilistes doivent donner prioriteacute Nouseacutetions logeacutes sur le AF Chapman un bateau trois-mats entiegraverementreacutenoveacute et transformeacute en auberge de jeunesse ne renfermant quedes chambres doubles avec lits agrave deux eacutetages et toilettescommunes dans le corridor Une solution drsquoheacutebergement forteacuteconomique pour lrsquoorganisation de la confeacuterence qui en assumaitle coucirct mais qui ne plaisait pas agrave tous speacutecialement agrave moi qui ai lesommeil leacuteger drsquoun oiseau et qui ronfle Jrsquoai donc opteacute pourune chambre drsquohocirctel standard plus conforme agrave mes exigencesminimales mais dont le coucirct fut neacuteanmoins astronomiqueStockholm eacutetant lrsquoune des villes les plus chegraveres au monde

Le 14 juinLa rencontre du comiteacute Architecture a donc deacutebuteacute le matin du 14juin Elle eacutetait organiseacutee par lrsquoarchitecte sueacutedois Torsten Noblingque nous devons sincegraverement remercier pour la qualiteacute despreacutesentations des visites et de lrsquoatelier

I assure Monique that visiting those two projects really set the tonefor what was to follow in Stockholm As you were aware it was Ibelieve the first time that both the Architecture and ScenographyCommission meetings were held jointly which was beneficial tothe members of both groups and allowed for a larger open debatebetween architects and scenographers And which explains theintroduction of Raija Hirvikoski as mentioned above
But before talking about the meetings I would like to share somepersonal thoughts on Stockholm and the accommodationsStockholm is an extraordinary city said to be Venice of the North
The city is composed of a rosary of endless islets connected bybridges or docks The architecture of many periods is stunninglyrich in styles and diversity of material and volumes Everythingseems to have been carefully restored and renovated The streetsare planted with trees and offer sufficient space to bothpedestrians and cyclists for whom drivers have to give right of wayWe were set up on the AF Chapman a three-mast ship completelyremodelled and transformed into a hostel offering double roomswith bunk beds and a shared bathroom in the hallway A veryeconomic solution for the hosting organisation that did nothowever please everyone especially me who sleeps like a bird andsnores I opted for a standard room in a nearby hotel that met myminimal expectations despite its astronomical rate Stockholm isafter all among the most expensive cities in the world
Anchored at the Skeppsholmen dock the ship is located near theMuseum of Architecture (wwwarkitekturmuseetse) where ourwork meetings and conferences were held Itrsquos a wonderful placewith a terrace overlooking the port adjacent to the Museum ofModern Art created by the renowned Spanish architect RafaelMoneo (wwwmodernamuseetse)

June 14The Architecture Commission meeting began on the morning ofJune 14 It was organised by Swedish architect Torsten Noblingwho deserves our deepest appreciation for the quality of thepresentations the visits and the workshop
The membersA total of 16 members of the Architecture Commission fromnumerous countries participated at the meetings Torsten Nobling(Sweden) Martien van Goor Kiem-Liam Theacute and CarolineNoteboom (Holland) Reinhold Daberto (Germany) Mac Chan(Malaysia) Pjotr Obracaj (Poland) Anne Minors (United Kingdom)Toshiya Kusuka (Japan) Johu Gronholm (Finland) Mihaly Vargha(Poland) Lenka Bednarova (Czech Republic) Pu Lin (Taiwan) andRobert Hamilton Wes Jenkins and myself (Canada)
Administrative businessThe first working session dealt mostly with administrative businessThe outgoing chair of the Architecture Commission ReinholdDaberto reported on the financial situation whereas beingmodest will still allow for activities during the upcoming year MrDaberto was re-elected by acclamation for a 4-year term no othercandidatures were submitted The Finnish representative didpropose Tim Foster a theatre architect from the United Kingdombut unfortunately he is unable to ensure a proper involvementwithin the commission for health reasons He then proposed twovice chairs Torsten Nobling and Martien van Goor both Europeanarchitects to facilitate future discussions and meetings Themembers approved this proposition unanimously Mr Daberto thenpresented the four major elements of his next mandate
bull Increase and intensify relations with other commissionsespecially the Scenography Commission
bull Increase architectural and technical exchanges betweenmembers of the Architecture Commission without stimulatingcompetition
bull Improve exchange of information on a new website throughthe integration of a standardized data sheet provided tocommission members for each theatre project
bull Find the topic of the next theatre architecture competition inpreparation for the Prague Quadrennial in 2011
TAC 2007We then discussed TAC 2007 (The Architecture Competition) andthe aspects of the programme developed by Tim Foster thatworked reasonably well and those that were more or less resolvedby the participants The topic was a 500-seat theatre built at theedge of a water body (lake or river) The jury met in Germany forfour days The total budget of this competition was 50 000 Eurosincluding 30 000 from OISTAT and the remaining 20 000 fromdifferent sponsors
TAC 2011The topic of the next competition is not yet finalized However weall agreed that the unresolved technical aspects of the 2007 editionbe brought back on the table for the 2011 edition I suggestedthat the project focus on the urban theatre and have the urbanarchitectural and contextual relationship between city and theatreput forward on the basis that many recent projects done bystarchitects such as the Casa da Musica in Porto obliterate thiscrucial aspect in favour of purely symbolic buildings the new urbanicons

menu en 2011 Jrsquoai suggeacutereacute que le projet soit un theacuteacirctre urbain ougravela relation architecturale urbaine et contextuelle entre ville ettheacuteacirctre soit mise de lrsquoavant srsquoappuyant sur le fait que denombreux projets reacutealiseacutes reacutecemment par les laquostarchitectsraquocomme la Casa da Musica agrave Porto oblitegraverent cet aspect crucial auprofit drsquoeacutedifices purement symboliques nouvelles icocircnes des villes
La notion du budget de construction avanceacutee par Robert sembleavoir eacuteteacute mise de cocircteacute car ni les eacutetudiants ni leur professeurs nepeuvent adeacutequatement en eacutevaluer les coucircts au profit de lacreacuteation drsquoespaces enthousiasmants et ingeacutenieux stimulant lareacuteflexion sur lrsquoespace theacuteacirctral et lrsquoespace architectural
Lenka Bednarova qui repreacutesente aussi la Quadriennale questionnele type de preacutesentation le papier versus le multimeacutedia afindrsquoenvisager une diffusion plus importante apregraves la QuadriennalePour certains membres du comiteacute lrsquoexposition des projets endessin avec le catalogue semble toujours dlsquoactualiteacute alors que pourdrsquoautres lrsquoInternet est le meilleur veacutehicule Il semble bienMonique que la prochaine exposition sera une version hybride Ence qui concerne le calendrier tous les membres sont drsquoaccord pourlancer le programme au printemps de 2010 afin que les eacutetudiantspuissent deacutevelopper leurs projets agrave lrsquoautomne 2010 et que le toutsoit preacutesenteacute au jury en feacutevrier 2011 Un calendrier similaire agrave celuide TAC 2007
Lrsquoexposition drsquoarchitectureNous avons ensuite discuteacute de lrsquoexposition des projetsdrsquoarchitecture nationaux Jrsquoignorais totalement que des prix eacutetaientremis aux meilleurs projets Je tenterai donc de faire valoir cetaspect lors de la prochaine participation du Canada Tous lesmembres semblaient drsquoaccord sur le fait que lrsquoexposition esthabituellement mal positionneacutee dans le hall drsquoexposition souvent agravela mezzanine et qursquoelle est malheureusement moins assiducircmentfreacutequenteacutee Le comiteacute a mandateacute Lenka Bednarova pour faire partde cette preacuteoccupation aux membres de lrsquoorganisation de PQ2011 Nous croyons que lrsquoexposition des manufacturiers celle desprojets drsquoarchitecture nationaux et celle du concours drsquoarchitectureeacutetudiant devraient ecirctre installeacutees sur un mecircme plancher dans unmecircme vaste endroit permettant une visite mieux inteacutegreacutee et plusstimulante
Lrsquointermegravede entre deux PQIl semble que bien peu drsquoactiviteacutes prennent place entre deuxquadriennales conseacutecutives Ainsi Reinhold Daberto a proposeacuteqursquoun laquoSummer Academyraquo se tienne tous les quatre ans entre lesquadriennales afin de stimuler les eacutechanges et de preacuteparer laquadriennale suivante Cette activiteacute aurait lieu agrave Salzbourg enAutriche en collaboration avec le Mozarteum (University of Musicand Dramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat) pendant le Festival deSalzbourg
LrsquoOISTAT a deacutegageacute une somme de 1000 euros pour deacutevelopper ceprojet La prochaine rencontre du comiteacute Architecture aura donclieu agrave Salzbourg en juin 2009 Je trsquoannonce deacutejagrave Monique que jeplanifie drsquoy participer agrave titre de repreacutesentant officiel et votant duCITT

The notion of the construction budget put forward by Robertseems to have been set aside because neither the students northeir teachers can adequately evaluate the costs of creatingexciting and ingenious spaces stimulating reflection on thetheatrical space and architectural space
Lenka Bednarova who also represents the Quadrennialquestioned the type of presentation paper versus multimedia inorder to consider a wider distribution after the Quadrennial Forsome members of the committee the exhibition of draft designprojects with its catalogue still seems valid while for others theInternet is the best vehicle It would seem Monique that the nextexhibition will be a hybrid version Regarding the timetable allmembers agreed to launch the program in the spring of 2010 sothat students can develop their projects in autumn 2010 and thatall be presented to the jury in February 2011 In short a schedulesimilar to the one used for TAC 2007
The architecture exhibitionWe then discussed the exhibition of architectural national projectsI had no idea that awards were given for the best projects so I willtry to make a case using this aspect for the next Canadianparticipation All the members seemed to agree that the exhibit isusually poorly situated in the exhibition hall often on themezzanine and it is unfortunately less attentively attended Thecommittee has appointed Lenka Bednarova to share this concernto members of the PQ 2011 We believe that the exhibit ofmanufacturers the architectural projects and the nationalcompetition for student architecture should be installed on thesame floor in the same location for a better-integrated and morecomprehensive visit
The interlude between two PQ exhibitionsIt seems that very few activities take place between two

Les prochaines rencontres du comiteacute ArchitectureIl a eacuteteacute souligneacute par Torsten Nobling que les coucircts de subsistance etdrsquoheacutebergement dont le comiteacute Architecture deacutefraie pour sesparticipants sont devenus tregraves eacuteleveacutes Il semble que cette pratiqueserait abandonneacutee pour la prochaine rencontre de Salzbourg sansque cela me semble-t-il nrsquoait fait lrsquoobjet drsquoaucun vote speacutecifique
Par ailleurs agrave titre purement speacuteculatif Robert Hamilton soutenupar Wes Jenkins a indiqueacute lrsquointeacuterecirct conjoint de Vancouver et deCalgary de tenir la rencontre de 2012 Cette date semble plausibleparce que plusieurs projets sceacutenographiques auront eacuteteacute compleacuteteacutesdans les deux villes et qursquoil semble aussi que ce soit lagrave la premiegraveredate disponible En effet Salzbourg recevrait la rencontre de 2009potentiellement Rio en 2010 et Prague en 2011 lors de laQuadriennale
Cependant en aparteacute Robert mrsquoindique qursquoil nrsquoest pas certain quelesdits projets seront compleacuteteacutes ce agrave quoi je lui ai mentionneacute que
la ville de Queacutebec pourrait recevoir les rencontres des comiteacutesArchitecture et Sceacutenographie auxquelles devrait srsquoajouter le comiteacuteTechnologique En effet en 2012 le projet de nouvelles salles despectacles de Robert Lepage ameacutenageacutees dans un tunnel deacutesaffecteacutedu centre-ville devrait ecirctre compleacuteteacute depuis longtemps et lacombinaison des activiteacutes du Carrefour international de theacuteacirctre deQueacutebec - de la mi-mai agrave la fin-mai - et de la visite de ce projet etdrsquoautres comme le Palais Montcalm serait un atout additionnel etpourrait constituer un amalgame drsquoactiviteacutes des plus inteacuteressants
Robert Hamilton a aussi souligneacute lrsquoimportance pour les membresdes comiteacutes drsquoecirctre inviteacutes officiellement par lrsquoOISTAT et ses comiteacutesafin de pouvoir mieux justifier le deacuteplacement et le bien-fondeacute desrencontres aupregraves de leurs employeurs et des organismes qui lessubventionnent
consecutive quadrennials Thus Reinhold Daberto proposed that aSummer Academyrdquo be held every four years between thequadrennials to stimulate discussion and to prepare for the nextquadrennial This activity would take place in Salzburg Austria incollaboration with the Mozarteum (University of Music andDramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat ) during the Salzburg Festival
OISTAT has allocated a sum of 1000 euros to help develop thisproject The next meeting of the Architecture Commission will beheld in Salzburg in June 2009 I am letting you know Moniquethat I am planning to participate as the official CITT votingdelegate
Other competitionsReinhold Daberto mentions that OISTAT was asked to participateas a consultant in the organization of the theatre architecturalcompetition in Russia and notably the Surgut Theatrerdquo projectDetails to follow
The next meetings of the Architecture CommissionIt was pointed out by Torsten Nobling that the cost of subsistenceand accommodation that the Architecture Commission pays forthe participants at this meeting is very high It seems that thispractice will be abandoned for the next meeting in Salzburgalthough it seems that there was no specific vote on that topic
Furthermore as a purely speculative proposal Robert Hamiltonsupported by Wes Jenkins mentioned a joint interest of bothVancouver and Calgary cities to hold the meeting in 2012 Thisdate seems plausible because several scenographic projects willhave been completed in those two cities and it seems that the year2012 would be the first available date In fact Salzburg will behosting the meeting in 2009 probably Rio in 2010 and Prague in2011 during the Quadrennial
However in private Robert told me he was not sure that thoseprojects would be completed I replied that Queacutebec City couldprobably host the meetings of both Architecture and Scenographycommissions to which we could add the Technology CommissionIndeed in 2012 the proposed new venues designed by RobertLepage in a disused tunnel in the downtown district will have beencompleted for some time and the combination of the Carrefourinternational de theacuteacirctre de Queacutebec - from mid-May to end-May -the tour of the Lepage project and others venues such as the PalaisMontcalm would be an additional benefit and could constitute anamalgam of interesting activities
Robert Hamilton also emphasized the importance for commissionmembers to be officially invited by the OISTAT and its commissionsto better justify the travelling and the value of the meetings withtheir employers and agencies that fund them
The visit of Drottningholms Slottsteater (wwwdtmse)The visit of this theatre in the afternoon was just fantastic Themembers of the Architecture Commission (AC) and theScenography Commission (SC) travelled to the theatre by boat onwhich we all had lunch The theatre built in 1766 is the oldest inEurope to have preserved the architecture and stage machineryfrom the period just like another theatre in the Czech RepublicChesky Krumlov (wwwckrumlovcz) Our guide led us on stageexplaining the astounding stage elements and lighting devices andallowing us to visit some adjacent spaces and the dressing roomsAn unforgettable visit although because of the large size of ourgroup we could not visit the machinery under the stage and the

Comme tu peux le voir Monique degraves la premiegravere journeacutee notrecongregraves eacutetait tregraves intensehellip
Le 15 juinLa journeacutee a deacutebuteacute par une rencontre conjointe des membres desdeux comiteacutes et par lrsquointroduction de Raija Hirvikoski lasceacutenographe finlandaise dont je trsquoai deacutejagrave parleacute au tout deacutebut decette longue lettre
Eacutevidemment elle a exposeacute fort adroitement les problegravemesarchitecturaux de theacuteacirctres conccedilus par Alvar Aalto grand architectede renommeacutee internationale Je dois bien admettre qursquoelle avaitraisonhellip Si Aalto avait consulteacute des sceacutenographes si tant est que ladiscipline laquoinventeacuteeraquo par Richard Pilbrow de Theatre ProjectConsultants agrave Londres ait existeacute agrave ce moment je crois bien que denombreuses erreurs tant dans lrsquoauditorium que dans les espacesannexes de soutien auraient eacuteteacute eacuteviteacutees
LrsquoatelierCette introduction piquante a donneacute le ton agrave lrsquoatelier qui a suivipour une bonne partie de la journeacutee Nous nous sommesregroupeacutes au hasard en huit eacutequipes multidisciplinaires Je me suisretrouveacute avec Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) que je ne connaissaispas encore Peter Ruthven Hall (Royaume-Uni) Johu (Finlande) PuLin (Taiwan) et Jerome Maeckelbergh (Belgique) Nous avonsdiscuteacute plus que dessineacute drsquoune nouvelle forme de theacuteacirctre dulaquoHappy Theatreraquo Notre eacutequipe a proceacutedeacute en eacutetablissant des listesdes lieux que nous aimions le plus et que nous aimions le moinspour aboutir agrave une liste de ceux qui nous avaient le plus eacutetonneacutespour tenter drsquoen deacutegager des constantes ou des similitudesDrsquoautres eacutequipes ont proceacutedeacute diffeacuteremment tentant de dessiner laconfiguration la plus optimale du theacuteacirctre ideacuteal

Le plus eacutetonnant agrave la fin de la journeacutee a eacuteteacute de constater que peuimporte les solutions deacuteveloppeacutees la constante est que lrsquoespacelibre de type boicircte noire aux propositions ideacuteales de 20 m x 30 m

We then visited the Chinese pavilion before returning toStockholm together for the welcome dinner at the Royal CoinCabinet a museum facing the Royal Palace and located in thefamous historic quarter of Gamla Stan (wwwmyntkabinettetse)
As you can see Monique from day one our conference was prettyintense
June 15The day began with a joint meeting of members of bothcommissions and the introduction of Raija Hirvikoski the Finnishdesigner of whom I have already spoken at the beginning of thislong letter
Evidently she explained very skilfully the architectural problems of
theatres designed by Alvar Aalto the internationally renownedarchitect I must admit she was right If Aalto had consultedtheatre consultants a discipline invented by Richard PilbrowTheater Project Consultants in London and existing at that time Ibelieve that many mistakes both in the auditorium and in theadjacent areas could have been avoided
The workshopThis pungent introduction set the tone for the workshop thatfollowed for much of the day We randomly grouped into eightteams I ended up with Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) that I did notknow yet Peter Ruthven Hall (United Kingdom) Johu (Finland) PuLin (Taiwan) and Jerome Maeckelberghe (Belgium) We discussedmore than designed a new form of theatre a Happy TheatreOur team proceeded by establishing lists of spaces we liked themost and those we liked the least to finally draft a list of those thatamazed us the most and tried to identify patterns or similaritiesOther teams worked differently trying to draw the most optimal

configuration of the ideal theatre
The presentation of Robert Hamiltonrsquos team was particularlysuccessful and fun The result the fruit project which claimed toencompass all other types of theatres is a pineapple (ThePineapple Project) as named by Robert and which I havemockingly renamed the olive project (The Pitt-off Olive Project)
Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers
Presentations of papersThe papers were presented in the museums auditorium and thepresentation was open to architecture and design students and toan interested public

The evening was free I took the opportunity to dine out in townwith the British scenographer Peter Ruthven Hall who invited meto come to Britain in the fall to give a lecture on my work withRobert Lepage
June 16June the 16th the last official day of our meeting was broken intotwo segments We were first invited to a different location withinthe city the Dramatiska Institutet (wwwdraminstse) theUniversity College of the Film Radio Television and Theatrerecently built by our architect host of this conference TorstenNobling
In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice
Jrsquoai personnellement demandeacute que les membres de notre comiteacutepuissent obtenir de bonnes photographies des dessins exeacutecuteacutes parles membres des diffeacuterentes eacutequipes et que nous obtenions uneforme de compte rendu Jrsquoai aussi suggeacutereacute que cette informationsoit disponible et serve de point de deacutepart agrave lrsquoatelier de lrsquoanprochain qui sera tenu agrave Salzbourg Ces demandes ont eacuteteacuteaccueillies tregraves favorablement comme faisant partie drsquoun processuscontinu de recherche
En architecture il y avait neuf preacutesentations preacutevues mais sept onteffectivement eacuteteacute visionneacutees les voici dans lrsquoordre
bull Torsten Nobling The Stavanger Theatre Norway
And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games

Je trsquoassure Monique que la visite de ces deux projets mrsquoa vraimentmis dans lrsquoesprit de ce qui allait suivre agrave Stockholm Sache drsquoabordque cette anneacutee pour la toute premiegravere fois semble-t-il lesrencontres des comiteacutes Architecture et Sceacutenographie avaient lieuen mecircme temps et au mecircme endroit ce qui a vraiment eacuteteacute tregravesbeacuteneacutefique pour les membres des deux groupes et qui a permisdrsquoouvrir le deacutebat beaucoup plus largement entre architectes etsceacutenographes Cela explique donc lrsquointroduction de Raija Hirvikoskidont je te parlais au tout deacutebut
Mais avant de parler du congregraves lui-mecircme quelques commentairessur Stockholm et sur notre heacutebergement Stockholm est une villeextraordinaire dont on dit qursquoelle est la Venise du Nord Elle estcomposeacutee drsquoun chapelet drsquoinnombrables icirclots relieacutes par des pontsou des quais Lrsquoarchitecture de plusieurs eacutepoques est eacutetonnante derichesse de styles et de diversiteacute de mateacuteriaux et de volumeacutetriesTout semble avoir eacuteteacute soigneusement restaureacute et reacutenoveacute Les ruessont planteacutees drsquoarbres et font place agrave la fois aux pieacutetons et auxcyclistes auxquels les automobilistes doivent donner prioriteacute Nouseacutetions logeacutes sur le AF Chapman un bateau trois-mats entiegraverementreacutenoveacute et transformeacute en auberge de jeunesse ne renfermant quedes chambres doubles avec lits agrave deux eacutetages et toilettescommunes dans le corridor Une solution drsquoheacutebergement forteacuteconomique pour lrsquoorganisation de la confeacuterence qui en assumaitle coucirct mais qui ne plaisait pas agrave tous speacutecialement agrave moi qui ai lesommeil leacuteger drsquoun oiseau et qui ronfle Jrsquoai donc opteacute pourune chambre drsquohocirctel standard plus conforme agrave mes exigencesminimales mais dont le coucirct fut neacuteanmoins astronomiqueStockholm eacutetant lrsquoune des villes les plus chegraveres au monde
Ancreacute au quai Skeppsholmen le bateau eacutetait situeacute agrave proximiteacute duMuseacutee de lrsquoarchitecture (wwwarkitekturmuseetse) ougrave nosrencontres de travail et diverses confeacuterences avaient lieu Unendroit formidable avec terrasse sur le port adjacent au Museacuteedrsquoart moderne finement conccedilu par le renommeacute architecteespagnol Rafael Moneo (wwwmodernamuseetse)
Le 14 juinLa rencontre du comiteacute Architecture a donc deacutebuteacute le matin du 14juin Elle eacutetait organiseacutee par lrsquoarchitecte sueacutedois Torsten Noblingque nous devons sincegraverement remercier pour la qualiteacute despreacutesentations des visites et de lrsquoatelier

I assure Monique that visiting those two projects really set the tonefor what was to follow in Stockholm As you were aware it was Ibelieve the first time that both the Architecture and ScenographyCommission meetings were held jointly which was beneficial tothe members of both groups and allowed for a larger open debatebetween architects and scenographers And which explains theintroduction of Raija Hirvikoski as mentioned above
But before talking about the meetings I would like to share somepersonal thoughts on Stockholm and the accommodationsStockholm is an extraordinary city said to be Venice of the North
The city is composed of a rosary of endless islets connected bybridges or docks The architecture of many periods is stunninglyrich in styles and diversity of material and volumes Everythingseems to have been carefully restored and renovated The streetsare planted with trees and offer sufficient space to bothpedestrians and cyclists for whom drivers have to give right of wayWe were set up on the AF Chapman a three-mast ship completelyremodelled and transformed into a hostel offering double roomswith bunk beds and a shared bathroom in the hallway A veryeconomic solution for the hosting organisation that did nothowever please everyone especially me who sleeps like a bird andsnores I opted for a standard room in a nearby hotel that met myminimal expectations despite its astronomical rate Stockholm isafter all among the most expensive cities in the world
Anchored at the Skeppsholmen dock the ship is located near theMuseum of Architecture (wwwarkitekturmuseetse) where ourwork meetings and conferences were held Itrsquos a wonderful placewith a terrace overlooking the port adjacent to the Museum ofModern Art created by the renowned Spanish architect RafaelMoneo (wwwmodernamuseetse)

June 14The Architecture Commission meeting began on the morning ofJune 14 It was organised by Swedish architect Torsten Noblingwho deserves our deepest appreciation for the quality of thepresentations the visits and the workshop
The membersA total of 16 members of the Architecture Commission fromnumerous countries participated at the meetings Torsten Nobling(Sweden) Martien van Goor Kiem-Liam Theacute and CarolineNoteboom (Holland) Reinhold Daberto (Germany) Mac Chan(Malaysia) Pjotr Obracaj (Poland) Anne Minors (United Kingdom)Toshiya Kusuka (Japan) Johu Gronholm (Finland) Mihaly Vargha(Poland) Lenka Bednarova (Czech Republic) Pu Lin (Taiwan) andRobert Hamilton Wes Jenkins and myself (Canada)
Administrative businessThe first working session dealt mostly with administrative businessThe outgoing chair of the Architecture Commission ReinholdDaberto reported on the financial situation whereas beingmodest will still allow for activities during the upcoming year MrDaberto was re-elected by acclamation for a 4-year term no othercandidatures were submitted The Finnish representative didpropose Tim Foster a theatre architect from the United Kingdombut unfortunately he is unable to ensure a proper involvementwithin the commission for health reasons He then proposed twovice chairs Torsten Nobling and Martien van Goor both Europeanarchitects to facilitate future discussions and meetings Themembers approved this proposition unanimously Mr Daberto thenpresented the four major elements of his next mandate
bull Increase and intensify relations with other commissionsespecially the Scenography Commission
bull Increase architectural and technical exchanges betweenmembers of the Architecture Commission without stimulatingcompetition
bull Improve exchange of information on a new website throughthe integration of a standardized data sheet provided tocommission members for each theatre project
bull Find the topic of the next theatre architecture competition inpreparation for the Prague Quadrennial in 2011
TAC 2007We then discussed TAC 2007 (The Architecture Competition) andthe aspects of the programme developed by Tim Foster thatworked reasonably well and those that were more or less resolvedby the participants The topic was a 500-seat theatre built at theedge of a water body (lake or river) The jury met in Germany forfour days The total budget of this competition was 50 000 Eurosincluding 30 000 from OISTAT and the remaining 20 000 fromdifferent sponsors
TAC 2011The topic of the next competition is not yet finalized However weall agreed that the unresolved technical aspects of the 2007 editionbe brought back on the table for the 2011 edition I suggestedthat the project focus on the urban theatre and have the urbanarchitectural and contextual relationship between city and theatreput forward on the basis that many recent projects done bystarchitects such as the Casa da Musica in Porto obliterate thiscrucial aspect in favour of purely symbolic buildings the new urbanicons

menu en 2011 Jrsquoai suggeacutereacute que le projet soit un theacuteacirctre urbain ougravela relation architecturale urbaine et contextuelle entre ville ettheacuteacirctre soit mise de lrsquoavant srsquoappuyant sur le fait que denombreux projets reacutealiseacutes reacutecemment par les laquostarchitectsraquocomme la Casa da Musica agrave Porto oblitegraverent cet aspect crucial auprofit drsquoeacutedifices purement symboliques nouvelles icocircnes des villes
La notion du budget de construction avanceacutee par Robert sembleavoir eacuteteacute mise de cocircteacute car ni les eacutetudiants ni leur professeurs nepeuvent adeacutequatement en eacutevaluer les coucircts au profit de lacreacuteation drsquoespaces enthousiasmants et ingeacutenieux stimulant lareacuteflexion sur lrsquoespace theacuteacirctral et lrsquoespace architectural
Lenka Bednarova qui repreacutesente aussi la Quadriennale questionnele type de preacutesentation le papier versus le multimeacutedia afindrsquoenvisager une diffusion plus importante apregraves la QuadriennalePour certains membres du comiteacute lrsquoexposition des projets endessin avec le catalogue semble toujours dlsquoactualiteacute alors que pourdrsquoautres lrsquoInternet est le meilleur veacutehicule Il semble bienMonique que la prochaine exposition sera une version hybride Ence qui concerne le calendrier tous les membres sont drsquoaccord pourlancer le programme au printemps de 2010 afin que les eacutetudiantspuissent deacutevelopper leurs projets agrave lrsquoautomne 2010 et que le toutsoit preacutesenteacute au jury en feacutevrier 2011 Un calendrier similaire agrave celuide TAC 2007
Lrsquoexposition drsquoarchitectureNous avons ensuite discuteacute de lrsquoexposition des projetsdrsquoarchitecture nationaux Jrsquoignorais totalement que des prix eacutetaientremis aux meilleurs projets Je tenterai donc de faire valoir cetaspect lors de la prochaine participation du Canada Tous lesmembres semblaient drsquoaccord sur le fait que lrsquoexposition esthabituellement mal positionneacutee dans le hall drsquoexposition souvent agravela mezzanine et qursquoelle est malheureusement moins assiducircmentfreacutequenteacutee Le comiteacute a mandateacute Lenka Bednarova pour faire partde cette preacuteoccupation aux membres de lrsquoorganisation de PQ2011 Nous croyons que lrsquoexposition des manufacturiers celle desprojets drsquoarchitecture nationaux et celle du concours drsquoarchitectureeacutetudiant devraient ecirctre installeacutees sur un mecircme plancher dans unmecircme vaste endroit permettant une visite mieux inteacutegreacutee et plusstimulante
Lrsquointermegravede entre deux PQIl semble que bien peu drsquoactiviteacutes prennent place entre deuxquadriennales conseacutecutives Ainsi Reinhold Daberto a proposeacuteqursquoun laquoSummer Academyraquo se tienne tous les quatre ans entre lesquadriennales afin de stimuler les eacutechanges et de preacuteparer laquadriennale suivante Cette activiteacute aurait lieu agrave Salzbourg enAutriche en collaboration avec le Mozarteum (University of Musicand Dramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat) pendant le Festival deSalzbourg
LrsquoOISTAT a deacutegageacute une somme de 1000 euros pour deacutevelopper ceprojet La prochaine rencontre du comiteacute Architecture aura donclieu agrave Salzbourg en juin 2009 Je trsquoannonce deacutejagrave Monique que jeplanifie drsquoy participer agrave titre de repreacutesentant officiel et votant duCITT
Autres concoursReinhold Daberto mentionne que lrsquoOISTAT est solliciteacutee pourparticiper agrave lrsquoorganisation de concours drsquoarchitecture de theacuteacirctrenotamment le projet laquoSurgut Theatreraquo en Russie agrave titre deconsultant Dossier agrave suivre
The notion of the construction budget put forward by Robertseems to have been set aside because neither the students northeir teachers can adequately evaluate the costs of creatingexciting and ingenious spaces stimulating reflection on thetheatrical space and architectural space
Lenka Bednarova who also represents the Quadrennialquestioned the type of presentation paper versus multimedia inorder to consider a wider distribution after the Quadrennial Forsome members of the committee the exhibition of draft designprojects with its catalogue still seems valid while for others theInternet is the best vehicle It would seem Monique that the nextexhibition will be a hybrid version Regarding the timetable allmembers agreed to launch the program in the spring of 2010 sothat students can develop their projects in autumn 2010 and thatall be presented to the jury in February 2011 In short a schedulesimilar to the one used for TAC 2007
The architecture exhibitionWe then discussed the exhibition of architectural national projectsI had no idea that awards were given for the best projects so I willtry to make a case using this aspect for the next Canadianparticipation All the members seemed to agree that the exhibit isusually poorly situated in the exhibition hall often on themezzanine and it is unfortunately less attentively attended Thecommittee has appointed Lenka Bednarova to share this concernto members of the PQ 2011 We believe that the exhibit ofmanufacturers the architectural projects and the nationalcompetition for student architecture should be installed on thesame floor in the same location for a better-integrated and morecomprehensive visit
The interlude between two PQ exhibitionsIt seems that very few activities take place between two

Les prochaines rencontres du comiteacute ArchitectureIl a eacuteteacute souligneacute par Torsten Nobling que les coucircts de subsistance etdrsquoheacutebergement dont le comiteacute Architecture deacutefraie pour sesparticipants sont devenus tregraves eacuteleveacutes Il semble que cette pratiqueserait abandonneacutee pour la prochaine rencontre de Salzbourg sansque cela me semble-t-il nrsquoait fait lrsquoobjet drsquoaucun vote speacutecifique
Par ailleurs agrave titre purement speacuteculatif Robert Hamilton soutenupar Wes Jenkins a indiqueacute lrsquointeacuterecirct conjoint de Vancouver et deCalgary de tenir la rencontre de 2012 Cette date semble plausibleparce que plusieurs projets sceacutenographiques auront eacuteteacute compleacuteteacutesdans les deux villes et qursquoil semble aussi que ce soit lagrave la premiegraveredate disponible En effet Salzbourg recevrait la rencontre de 2009potentiellement Rio en 2010 et Prague en 2011 lors de laQuadriennale
Cependant en aparteacute Robert mrsquoindique qursquoil nrsquoest pas certain quelesdits projets seront compleacuteteacutes ce agrave quoi je lui ai mentionneacute que
la ville de Queacutebec pourrait recevoir les rencontres des comiteacutesArchitecture et Sceacutenographie auxquelles devrait srsquoajouter le comiteacuteTechnologique En effet en 2012 le projet de nouvelles salles despectacles de Robert Lepage ameacutenageacutees dans un tunnel deacutesaffecteacutedu centre-ville devrait ecirctre compleacuteteacute depuis longtemps et lacombinaison des activiteacutes du Carrefour international de theacuteacirctre deQueacutebec - de la mi-mai agrave la fin-mai - et de la visite de ce projet etdrsquoautres comme le Palais Montcalm serait un atout additionnel etpourrait constituer un amalgame drsquoactiviteacutes des plus inteacuteressants
Robert Hamilton a aussi souligneacute lrsquoimportance pour les membresdes comiteacutes drsquoecirctre inviteacutes officiellement par lrsquoOISTAT et ses comiteacutesafin de pouvoir mieux justifier le deacuteplacement et le bien-fondeacute desrencontres aupregraves de leurs employeurs et des organismes qui lessubventionnent
consecutive quadrennials Thus Reinhold Daberto proposed that aSummer Academyrdquo be held every four years between thequadrennials to stimulate discussion and to prepare for the nextquadrennial This activity would take place in Salzburg Austria incollaboration with the Mozarteum (University of Music andDramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat ) during the Salzburg Festival
OISTAT has allocated a sum of 1000 euros to help develop thisproject The next meeting of the Architecture Commission will beheld in Salzburg in June 2009 I am letting you know Moniquethat I am planning to participate as the official CITT votingdelegate
Other competitionsReinhold Daberto mentions that OISTAT was asked to participateas a consultant in the organization of the theatre architecturalcompetition in Russia and notably the Surgut Theatrerdquo projectDetails to follow
The next meetings of the Architecture CommissionIt was pointed out by Torsten Nobling that the cost of subsistenceand accommodation that the Architecture Commission pays forthe participants at this meeting is very high It seems that thispractice will be abandoned for the next meeting in Salzburgalthough it seems that there was no specific vote on that topic
Furthermore as a purely speculative proposal Robert Hamiltonsupported by Wes Jenkins mentioned a joint interest of bothVancouver and Calgary cities to hold the meeting in 2012 Thisdate seems plausible because several scenographic projects willhave been completed in those two cities and it seems that the year2012 would be the first available date In fact Salzburg will behosting the meeting in 2009 probably Rio in 2010 and Prague in2011 during the Quadrennial
However in private Robert told me he was not sure that thoseprojects would be completed I replied that Queacutebec City couldprobably host the meetings of both Architecture and Scenographycommissions to which we could add the Technology CommissionIndeed in 2012 the proposed new venues designed by RobertLepage in a disused tunnel in the downtown district will have beencompleted for some time and the combination of the Carrefourinternational de theacuteacirctre de Queacutebec - from mid-May to end-May -the tour of the Lepage project and others venues such as the PalaisMontcalm would be an additional benefit and could constitute anamalgam of interesting activities
Robert Hamilton also emphasized the importance for commissionmembers to be officially invited by the OISTAT and its commissionsto better justify the travelling and the value of the meetings withtheir employers and agencies that fund them
The visit of Drottningholms Slottsteater (wwwdtmse)The visit of this theatre in the afternoon was just fantastic Themembers of the Architecture Commission (AC) and theScenography Commission (SC) travelled to the theatre by boat onwhich we all had lunch The theatre built in 1766 is the oldest inEurope to have preserved the architecture and stage machineryfrom the period just like another theatre in the Czech RepublicChesky Krumlov (wwwckrumlovcz) Our guide led us on stageexplaining the astounding stage elements and lighting devices andallowing us to visit some adjacent spaces and the dressing roomsAn unforgettable visit although because of the large size of ourgroup we could not visit the machinery under the stage and the

We then visited the Chinese pavilion before returning toStockholm together for the welcome dinner at the Royal CoinCabinet a museum facing the Royal Palace and located in thefamous historic quarter of Gamla Stan (wwwmyntkabinettetse)
As you can see Monique from day one our conference was prettyintense
June 15The day began with a joint meeting of members of bothcommissions and the introduction of Raija Hirvikoski the Finnishdesigner of whom I have already spoken at the beginning of thislong letter
Evidently she explained very skilfully the architectural problems of
theatres designed by Alvar Aalto the internationally renownedarchitect I must admit she was right If Aalto had consultedtheatre consultants a discipline invented by Richard PilbrowTheater Project Consultants in London and existing at that time Ibelieve that many mistakes both in the auditorium and in theadjacent areas could have been avoided
The workshopThis pungent introduction set the tone for the workshop thatfollowed for much of the day We randomly grouped into eightteams I ended up with Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) that I did notknow yet Peter Ruthven Hall (United Kingdom) Johu (Finland) PuLin (Taiwan) and Jerome Maeckelberghe (Belgium) We discussedmore than designed a new form of theatre a Happy TheatreOur team proceeded by establishing lists of spaces we liked themost and those we liked the least to finally draft a list of those thatamazed us the most and tried to identify patterns or similaritiesOther teams worked differently trying to draw the most optimal

The presentation of Robert Hamiltonrsquos team was particularlysuccessful and fun The result the fruit project which claimed toencompass all other types of theatres is a pineapple (ThePineapple Project) as named by Robert and which I havemockingly renamed the olive project (The Pitt-off Olive Project)
Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers

In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice

And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games

June 14The Architecture Commission meeting began on the morning ofJune 14 It was organised by Swedish architect Torsten Noblingwho deserves our deepest appreciation for the quality of thepresentations the visits and the workshop
The membersA total of 16 members of the Architecture Commission fromnumerous countries participated at the meetings Torsten Nobling(Sweden) Martien van Goor Kiem-Liam Theacute and CarolineNoteboom (Holland) Reinhold Daberto (Germany) Mac Chan(Malaysia) Pjotr Obracaj (Poland) Anne Minors (United Kingdom)Toshiya Kusuka (Japan) Johu Gronholm (Finland) Mihaly Vargha(Poland) Lenka Bednarova (Czech Republic) Pu Lin (Taiwan) andRobert Hamilton Wes Jenkins and myself (Canada)
Administrative businessThe first working session dealt mostly with administrative businessThe outgoing chair of the Architecture Commission ReinholdDaberto reported on the financial situation whereas beingmodest will still allow for activities during the upcoming year MrDaberto was re-elected by acclamation for a 4-year term no othercandidatures were submitted The Finnish representative didpropose Tim Foster a theatre architect from the United Kingdombut unfortunately he is unable to ensure a proper involvementwithin the commission for health reasons He then proposed twovice chairs Torsten Nobling and Martien van Goor both Europeanarchitects to facilitate future discussions and meetings Themembers approved this proposition unanimously Mr Daberto thenpresented the four major elements of his next mandate
bull Increase and intensify relations with other commissionsespecially the Scenography Commission
bull Increase architectural and technical exchanges betweenmembers of the Architecture Commission without stimulatingcompetition
bull Improve exchange of information on a new website throughthe integration of a standardized data sheet provided tocommission members for each theatre project
bull Find the topic of the next theatre architecture competition inpreparation for the Prague Quadrennial in 2011
TAC 2007We then discussed TAC 2007 (The Architecture Competition) andthe aspects of the programme developed by Tim Foster thatworked reasonably well and those that were more or less resolvedby the participants The topic was a 500-seat theatre built at theedge of a water body (lake or river) The jury met in Germany forfour days The total budget of this competition was 50 000 Eurosincluding 30 000 from OISTAT and the remaining 20 000 fromdifferent sponsors
TAC 2011The topic of the next competition is not yet finalized However weall agreed that the unresolved technical aspects of the 2007 editionbe brought back on the table for the 2011 edition I suggestedthat the project focus on the urban theatre and have the urbanarchitectural and contextual relationship between city and theatreput forward on the basis that many recent projects done bystarchitects such as the Casa da Musica in Porto obliterate thiscrucial aspect in favour of purely symbolic buildings the new urbanicons

menu en 2011 Jrsquoai suggeacutereacute que le projet soit un theacuteacirctre urbain ougravela relation architecturale urbaine et contextuelle entre ville ettheacuteacirctre soit mise de lrsquoavant srsquoappuyant sur le fait que denombreux projets reacutealiseacutes reacutecemment par les laquostarchitectsraquocomme la Casa da Musica agrave Porto oblitegraverent cet aspect crucial auprofit drsquoeacutedifices purement symboliques nouvelles icocircnes des villes
La notion du budget de construction avanceacutee par Robert sembleavoir eacuteteacute mise de cocircteacute car ni les eacutetudiants ni leur professeurs nepeuvent adeacutequatement en eacutevaluer les coucircts au profit de lacreacuteation drsquoespaces enthousiasmants et ingeacutenieux stimulant lareacuteflexion sur lrsquoespace theacuteacirctral et lrsquoespace architectural
Lenka Bednarova qui repreacutesente aussi la Quadriennale questionnele type de preacutesentation le papier versus le multimeacutedia afindrsquoenvisager une diffusion plus importante apregraves la QuadriennalePour certains membres du comiteacute lrsquoexposition des projets endessin avec le catalogue semble toujours dlsquoactualiteacute alors que pourdrsquoautres lrsquoInternet est le meilleur veacutehicule Il semble bienMonique que la prochaine exposition sera une version hybride Ence qui concerne le calendrier tous les membres sont drsquoaccord pourlancer le programme au printemps de 2010 afin que les eacutetudiantspuissent deacutevelopper leurs projets agrave lrsquoautomne 2010 et que le toutsoit preacutesenteacute au jury en feacutevrier 2011 Un calendrier similaire agrave celuide TAC 2007
Lrsquoexposition drsquoarchitectureNous avons ensuite discuteacute de lrsquoexposition des projetsdrsquoarchitecture nationaux Jrsquoignorais totalement que des prix eacutetaientremis aux meilleurs projets Je tenterai donc de faire valoir cetaspect lors de la prochaine participation du Canada Tous lesmembres semblaient drsquoaccord sur le fait que lrsquoexposition esthabituellement mal positionneacutee dans le hall drsquoexposition souvent agravela mezzanine et qursquoelle est malheureusement moins assiducircmentfreacutequenteacutee Le comiteacute a mandateacute Lenka Bednarova pour faire partde cette preacuteoccupation aux membres de lrsquoorganisation de PQ2011 Nous croyons que lrsquoexposition des manufacturiers celle desprojets drsquoarchitecture nationaux et celle du concours drsquoarchitectureeacutetudiant devraient ecirctre installeacutees sur un mecircme plancher dans unmecircme vaste endroit permettant une visite mieux inteacutegreacutee et plusstimulante
Lrsquointermegravede entre deux PQIl semble que bien peu drsquoactiviteacutes prennent place entre deuxquadriennales conseacutecutives Ainsi Reinhold Daberto a proposeacuteqursquoun laquoSummer Academyraquo se tienne tous les quatre ans entre lesquadriennales afin de stimuler les eacutechanges et de preacuteparer laquadriennale suivante Cette activiteacute aurait lieu agrave Salzbourg enAutriche en collaboration avec le Mozarteum (University of Musicand Dramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat) pendant le Festival deSalzbourg
LrsquoOISTAT a deacutegageacute une somme de 1000 euros pour deacutevelopper ceprojet La prochaine rencontre du comiteacute Architecture aura donclieu agrave Salzbourg en juin 2009 Je trsquoannonce deacutejagrave Monique que jeplanifie drsquoy participer agrave titre de repreacutesentant officiel et votant duCITT

The notion of the construction budget put forward by Robertseems to have been set aside because neither the students northeir teachers can adequately evaluate the costs of creatingexciting and ingenious spaces stimulating reflection on thetheatrical space and architectural space
Lenka Bednarova who also represents the Quadrennialquestioned the type of presentation paper versus multimedia inorder to consider a wider distribution after the Quadrennial Forsome members of the committee the exhibition of draft designprojects with its catalogue still seems valid while for others theInternet is the best vehicle It would seem Monique that the nextexhibition will be a hybrid version Regarding the timetable allmembers agreed to launch the program in the spring of 2010 sothat students can develop their projects in autumn 2010 and thatall be presented to the jury in February 2011 In short a schedulesimilar to the one used for TAC 2007
The architecture exhibitionWe then discussed the exhibition of architectural national projectsI had no idea that awards were given for the best projects so I willtry to make a case using this aspect for the next Canadianparticipation All the members seemed to agree that the exhibit isusually poorly situated in the exhibition hall often on themezzanine and it is unfortunately less attentively attended Thecommittee has appointed Lenka Bednarova to share this concernto members of the PQ 2011 We believe that the exhibit ofmanufacturers the architectural projects and the nationalcompetition for student architecture should be installed on thesame floor in the same location for a better-integrated and morecomprehensive visit
The interlude between two PQ exhibitionsIt seems that very few activities take place between two

Les prochaines rencontres du comiteacute ArchitectureIl a eacuteteacute souligneacute par Torsten Nobling que les coucircts de subsistance etdrsquoheacutebergement dont le comiteacute Architecture deacutefraie pour sesparticipants sont devenus tregraves eacuteleveacutes Il semble que cette pratiqueserait abandonneacutee pour la prochaine rencontre de Salzbourg sansque cela me semble-t-il nrsquoait fait lrsquoobjet drsquoaucun vote speacutecifique
Par ailleurs agrave titre purement speacuteculatif Robert Hamilton soutenupar Wes Jenkins a indiqueacute lrsquointeacuterecirct conjoint de Vancouver et deCalgary de tenir la rencontre de 2012 Cette date semble plausibleparce que plusieurs projets sceacutenographiques auront eacuteteacute compleacuteteacutesdans les deux villes et qursquoil semble aussi que ce soit lagrave la premiegraveredate disponible En effet Salzbourg recevrait la rencontre de 2009potentiellement Rio en 2010 et Prague en 2011 lors de laQuadriennale
Cependant en aparteacute Robert mrsquoindique qursquoil nrsquoest pas certain quelesdits projets seront compleacuteteacutes ce agrave quoi je lui ai mentionneacute que
la ville de Queacutebec pourrait recevoir les rencontres des comiteacutesArchitecture et Sceacutenographie auxquelles devrait srsquoajouter le comiteacuteTechnologique En effet en 2012 le projet de nouvelles salles despectacles de Robert Lepage ameacutenageacutees dans un tunnel deacutesaffecteacutedu centre-ville devrait ecirctre compleacuteteacute depuis longtemps et lacombinaison des activiteacutes du Carrefour international de theacuteacirctre deQueacutebec - de la mi-mai agrave la fin-mai - et de la visite de ce projet etdrsquoautres comme le Palais Montcalm serait un atout additionnel etpourrait constituer un amalgame drsquoactiviteacutes des plus inteacuteressants
Robert Hamilton a aussi souligneacute lrsquoimportance pour les membresdes comiteacutes drsquoecirctre inviteacutes officiellement par lrsquoOISTAT et ses comiteacutesafin de pouvoir mieux justifier le deacuteplacement et le bien-fondeacute desrencontres aupregraves de leurs employeurs et des organismes qui lessubventionnent
consecutive quadrennials Thus Reinhold Daberto proposed that aSummer Academyrdquo be held every four years between thequadrennials to stimulate discussion and to prepare for the nextquadrennial This activity would take place in Salzburg Austria incollaboration with the Mozarteum (University of Music andDramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat ) during the Salzburg Festival
OISTAT has allocated a sum of 1000 euros to help develop thisproject The next meeting of the Architecture Commission will beheld in Salzburg in June 2009 I am letting you know Moniquethat I am planning to participate as the official CITT votingdelegate
Other competitionsReinhold Daberto mentions that OISTAT was asked to participateas a consultant in the organization of the theatre architecturalcompetition in Russia and notably the Surgut Theatrerdquo projectDetails to follow
The next meetings of the Architecture CommissionIt was pointed out by Torsten Nobling that the cost of subsistenceand accommodation that the Architecture Commission pays forthe participants at this meeting is very high It seems that thispractice will be abandoned for the next meeting in Salzburgalthough it seems that there was no specific vote on that topic
Furthermore as a purely speculative proposal Robert Hamiltonsupported by Wes Jenkins mentioned a joint interest of bothVancouver and Calgary cities to hold the meeting in 2012 Thisdate seems plausible because several scenographic projects willhave been completed in those two cities and it seems that the year2012 would be the first available date In fact Salzburg will behosting the meeting in 2009 probably Rio in 2010 and Prague in2011 during the Quadrennial
However in private Robert told me he was not sure that thoseprojects would be completed I replied that Queacutebec City couldprobably host the meetings of both Architecture and Scenographycommissions to which we could add the Technology CommissionIndeed in 2012 the proposed new venues designed by RobertLepage in a disused tunnel in the downtown district will have beencompleted for some time and the combination of the Carrefourinternational de theacuteacirctre de Queacutebec - from mid-May to end-May -the tour of the Lepage project and others venues such as the PalaisMontcalm would be an additional benefit and could constitute anamalgam of interesting activities
Robert Hamilton also emphasized the importance for commissionmembers to be officially invited by the OISTAT and its commissionsto better justify the travelling and the value of the meetings withtheir employers and agencies that fund them
The visit of Drottningholms Slottsteater (wwwdtmse)The visit of this theatre in the afternoon was just fantastic Themembers of the Architecture Commission (AC) and theScenography Commission (SC) travelled to the theatre by boat onwhich we all had lunch The theatre built in 1766 is the oldest inEurope to have preserved the architecture and stage machineryfrom the period just like another theatre in the Czech RepublicChesky Krumlov (wwwckrumlovcz) Our guide led us on stageexplaining the astounding stage elements and lighting devices andallowing us to visit some adjacent spaces and the dressing roomsAn unforgettable visit although because of the large size of ourgroup we could not visit the machinery under the stage and the

Comme tu peux le voir Monique degraves la premiegravere journeacutee notrecongregraves eacutetait tregraves intensehellip
Le 15 juinLa journeacutee a deacutebuteacute par une rencontre conjointe des membres desdeux comiteacutes et par lrsquointroduction de Raija Hirvikoski lasceacutenographe finlandaise dont je trsquoai deacutejagrave parleacute au tout deacutebut decette longue lettre
Eacutevidemment elle a exposeacute fort adroitement les problegravemesarchitecturaux de theacuteacirctres conccedilus par Alvar Aalto grand architectede renommeacutee internationale Je dois bien admettre qursquoelle avaitraisonhellip Si Aalto avait consulteacute des sceacutenographes si tant est que ladiscipline laquoinventeacuteeraquo par Richard Pilbrow de Theatre ProjectConsultants agrave Londres ait existeacute agrave ce moment je crois bien que denombreuses erreurs tant dans lrsquoauditorium que dans les espacesannexes de soutien auraient eacuteteacute eacuteviteacutees
LrsquoatelierCette introduction piquante a donneacute le ton agrave lrsquoatelier qui a suivipour une bonne partie de la journeacutee Nous nous sommesregroupeacutes au hasard en huit eacutequipes multidisciplinaires Je me suisretrouveacute avec Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) que je ne connaissaispas encore Peter Ruthven Hall (Royaume-Uni) Johu (Finlande) PuLin (Taiwan) et Jerome Maeckelbergh (Belgique) Nous avonsdiscuteacute plus que dessineacute drsquoune nouvelle forme de theacuteacirctre dulaquoHappy Theatreraquo Notre eacutequipe a proceacutedeacute en eacutetablissant des listesdes lieux que nous aimions le plus et que nous aimions le moinspour aboutir agrave une liste de ceux qui nous avaient le plus eacutetonneacutespour tenter drsquoen deacutegager des constantes ou des similitudesDrsquoautres eacutequipes ont proceacutedeacute diffeacuteremment tentant de dessiner laconfiguration la plus optimale du theacuteacirctre ideacuteal

Le plus eacutetonnant agrave la fin de la journeacutee a eacuteteacute de constater que peuimporte les solutions deacuteveloppeacutees la constante est que lrsquoespacelibre de type boicircte noire aux propositions ideacuteales de 20 m x 30 m

We then visited the Chinese pavilion before returning toStockholm together for the welcome dinner at the Royal CoinCabinet a museum facing the Royal Palace and located in thefamous historic quarter of Gamla Stan (wwwmyntkabinettetse)
As you can see Monique from day one our conference was prettyintense
June 15The day began with a joint meeting of members of bothcommissions and the introduction of Raija Hirvikoski the Finnishdesigner of whom I have already spoken at the beginning of thislong letter
Evidently she explained very skilfully the architectural problems of
theatres designed by Alvar Aalto the internationally renownedarchitect I must admit she was right If Aalto had consultedtheatre consultants a discipline invented by Richard PilbrowTheater Project Consultants in London and existing at that time Ibelieve that many mistakes both in the auditorium and in theadjacent areas could have been avoided
The workshopThis pungent introduction set the tone for the workshop thatfollowed for much of the day We randomly grouped into eightteams I ended up with Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) that I did notknow yet Peter Ruthven Hall (United Kingdom) Johu (Finland) PuLin (Taiwan) and Jerome Maeckelberghe (Belgium) We discussedmore than designed a new form of theatre a Happy TheatreOur team proceeded by establishing lists of spaces we liked themost and those we liked the least to finally draft a list of those thatamazed us the most and tried to identify patterns or similaritiesOther teams worked differently trying to draw the most optimal

configuration of the ideal theatre
The presentation of Robert Hamiltonrsquos team was particularlysuccessful and fun The result the fruit project which claimed toencompass all other types of theatres is a pineapple (ThePineapple Project) as named by Robert and which I havemockingly renamed the olive project (The Pitt-off Olive Project)
Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers
Presentations of papersThe papers were presented in the museums auditorium and thepresentation was open to architecture and design students and toan interested public

The evening was free I took the opportunity to dine out in townwith the British scenographer Peter Ruthven Hall who invited meto come to Britain in the fall to give a lecture on my work withRobert Lepage
June 16June the 16th the last official day of our meeting was broken intotwo segments We were first invited to a different location withinthe city the Dramatiska Institutet (wwwdraminstse) theUniversity College of the Film Radio Television and Theatrerecently built by our architect host of this conference TorstenNobling
In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice
Jrsquoai personnellement demandeacute que les membres de notre comiteacutepuissent obtenir de bonnes photographies des dessins exeacutecuteacutes parles membres des diffeacuterentes eacutequipes et que nous obtenions uneforme de compte rendu Jrsquoai aussi suggeacutereacute que cette informationsoit disponible et serve de point de deacutepart agrave lrsquoatelier de lrsquoanprochain qui sera tenu agrave Salzbourg Ces demandes ont eacuteteacuteaccueillies tregraves favorablement comme faisant partie drsquoun processuscontinu de recherche
En architecture il y avait neuf preacutesentations preacutevues mais sept onteffectivement eacuteteacute visionneacutees les voici dans lrsquoordre
bull Torsten Nobling The Stavanger Theatre Norway
And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games

menu en 2011 Jrsquoai suggeacutereacute que le projet soit un theacuteacirctre urbain ougravela relation architecturale urbaine et contextuelle entre ville ettheacuteacirctre soit mise de lrsquoavant srsquoappuyant sur le fait que denombreux projets reacutealiseacutes reacutecemment par les laquostarchitectsraquocomme la Casa da Musica agrave Porto oblitegraverent cet aspect crucial auprofit drsquoeacutedifices purement symboliques nouvelles icocircnes des villes
La notion du budget de construction avanceacutee par Robert sembleavoir eacuteteacute mise de cocircteacute car ni les eacutetudiants ni leur professeurs nepeuvent adeacutequatement en eacutevaluer les coucircts au profit de lacreacuteation drsquoespaces enthousiasmants et ingeacutenieux stimulant lareacuteflexion sur lrsquoespace theacuteacirctral et lrsquoespace architectural
Lenka Bednarova qui repreacutesente aussi la Quadriennale questionnele type de preacutesentation le papier versus le multimeacutedia afindrsquoenvisager une diffusion plus importante apregraves la QuadriennalePour certains membres du comiteacute lrsquoexposition des projets endessin avec le catalogue semble toujours dlsquoactualiteacute alors que pourdrsquoautres lrsquoInternet est le meilleur veacutehicule Il semble bienMonique que la prochaine exposition sera une version hybride Ence qui concerne le calendrier tous les membres sont drsquoaccord pourlancer le programme au printemps de 2010 afin que les eacutetudiantspuissent deacutevelopper leurs projets agrave lrsquoautomne 2010 et que le toutsoit preacutesenteacute au jury en feacutevrier 2011 Un calendrier similaire agrave celuide TAC 2007
Lrsquoexposition drsquoarchitectureNous avons ensuite discuteacute de lrsquoexposition des projetsdrsquoarchitecture nationaux Jrsquoignorais totalement que des prix eacutetaientremis aux meilleurs projets Je tenterai donc de faire valoir cetaspect lors de la prochaine participation du Canada Tous lesmembres semblaient drsquoaccord sur le fait que lrsquoexposition esthabituellement mal positionneacutee dans le hall drsquoexposition souvent agravela mezzanine et qursquoelle est malheureusement moins assiducircmentfreacutequenteacutee Le comiteacute a mandateacute Lenka Bednarova pour faire partde cette preacuteoccupation aux membres de lrsquoorganisation de PQ2011 Nous croyons que lrsquoexposition des manufacturiers celle desprojets drsquoarchitecture nationaux et celle du concours drsquoarchitectureeacutetudiant devraient ecirctre installeacutees sur un mecircme plancher dans unmecircme vaste endroit permettant une visite mieux inteacutegreacutee et plusstimulante
Lrsquointermegravede entre deux PQIl semble que bien peu drsquoactiviteacutes prennent place entre deuxquadriennales conseacutecutives Ainsi Reinhold Daberto a proposeacuteqursquoun laquoSummer Academyraquo se tienne tous les quatre ans entre lesquadriennales afin de stimuler les eacutechanges et de preacuteparer laquadriennale suivante Cette activiteacute aurait lieu agrave Salzbourg enAutriche en collaboration avec le Mozarteum (University of Musicand Dramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat) pendant le Festival deSalzbourg
LrsquoOISTAT a deacutegageacute une somme de 1000 euros pour deacutevelopper ceprojet La prochaine rencontre du comiteacute Architecture aura donclieu agrave Salzbourg en juin 2009 Je trsquoannonce deacutejagrave Monique que jeplanifie drsquoy participer agrave titre de repreacutesentant officiel et votant duCITT
Autres concoursReinhold Daberto mentionne que lrsquoOISTAT est solliciteacutee pourparticiper agrave lrsquoorganisation de concours drsquoarchitecture de theacuteacirctrenotamment le projet laquoSurgut Theatreraquo en Russie agrave titre deconsultant Dossier agrave suivre
The notion of the construction budget put forward by Robertseems to have been set aside because neither the students northeir teachers can adequately evaluate the costs of creatingexciting and ingenious spaces stimulating reflection on thetheatrical space and architectural space
Lenka Bednarova who also represents the Quadrennialquestioned the type of presentation paper versus multimedia inorder to consider a wider distribution after the Quadrennial Forsome members of the committee the exhibition of draft designprojects with its catalogue still seems valid while for others theInternet is the best vehicle It would seem Monique that the nextexhibition will be a hybrid version Regarding the timetable allmembers agreed to launch the program in the spring of 2010 sothat students can develop their projects in autumn 2010 and thatall be presented to the jury in February 2011 In short a schedulesimilar to the one used for TAC 2007
The architecture exhibitionWe then discussed the exhibition of architectural national projectsI had no idea that awards were given for the best projects so I willtry to make a case using this aspect for the next Canadianparticipation All the members seemed to agree that the exhibit isusually poorly situated in the exhibition hall often on themezzanine and it is unfortunately less attentively attended Thecommittee has appointed Lenka Bednarova to share this concernto members of the PQ 2011 We believe that the exhibit ofmanufacturers the architectural projects and the nationalcompetition for student architecture should be installed on thesame floor in the same location for a better-integrated and morecomprehensive visit
The interlude between two PQ exhibitionsIt seems that very few activities take place between two

Les prochaines rencontres du comiteacute ArchitectureIl a eacuteteacute souligneacute par Torsten Nobling que les coucircts de subsistance etdrsquoheacutebergement dont le comiteacute Architecture deacutefraie pour sesparticipants sont devenus tregraves eacuteleveacutes Il semble que cette pratiqueserait abandonneacutee pour la prochaine rencontre de Salzbourg sansque cela me semble-t-il nrsquoait fait lrsquoobjet drsquoaucun vote speacutecifique
Par ailleurs agrave titre purement speacuteculatif Robert Hamilton soutenupar Wes Jenkins a indiqueacute lrsquointeacuterecirct conjoint de Vancouver et deCalgary de tenir la rencontre de 2012 Cette date semble plausibleparce que plusieurs projets sceacutenographiques auront eacuteteacute compleacuteteacutesdans les deux villes et qursquoil semble aussi que ce soit lagrave la premiegraveredate disponible En effet Salzbourg recevrait la rencontre de 2009potentiellement Rio en 2010 et Prague en 2011 lors de laQuadriennale
Cependant en aparteacute Robert mrsquoindique qursquoil nrsquoest pas certain quelesdits projets seront compleacuteteacutes ce agrave quoi je lui ai mentionneacute que
la ville de Queacutebec pourrait recevoir les rencontres des comiteacutesArchitecture et Sceacutenographie auxquelles devrait srsquoajouter le comiteacuteTechnologique En effet en 2012 le projet de nouvelles salles despectacles de Robert Lepage ameacutenageacutees dans un tunnel deacutesaffecteacutedu centre-ville devrait ecirctre compleacuteteacute depuis longtemps et lacombinaison des activiteacutes du Carrefour international de theacuteacirctre deQueacutebec - de la mi-mai agrave la fin-mai - et de la visite de ce projet etdrsquoautres comme le Palais Montcalm serait un atout additionnel etpourrait constituer un amalgame drsquoactiviteacutes des plus inteacuteressants
Robert Hamilton a aussi souligneacute lrsquoimportance pour les membresdes comiteacutes drsquoecirctre inviteacutes officiellement par lrsquoOISTAT et ses comiteacutesafin de pouvoir mieux justifier le deacuteplacement et le bien-fondeacute desrencontres aupregraves de leurs employeurs et des organismes qui lessubventionnent
consecutive quadrennials Thus Reinhold Daberto proposed that aSummer Academyrdquo be held every four years between thequadrennials to stimulate discussion and to prepare for the nextquadrennial This activity would take place in Salzburg Austria incollaboration with the Mozarteum (University of Music andDramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat ) during the Salzburg Festival
OISTAT has allocated a sum of 1000 euros to help develop thisproject The next meeting of the Architecture Commission will beheld in Salzburg in June 2009 I am letting you know Moniquethat I am planning to participate as the official CITT votingdelegate
Other competitionsReinhold Daberto mentions that OISTAT was asked to participateas a consultant in the organization of the theatre architecturalcompetition in Russia and notably the Surgut Theatrerdquo projectDetails to follow
The next meetings of the Architecture CommissionIt was pointed out by Torsten Nobling that the cost of subsistenceand accommodation that the Architecture Commission pays forthe participants at this meeting is very high It seems that thispractice will be abandoned for the next meeting in Salzburgalthough it seems that there was no specific vote on that topic
Furthermore as a purely speculative proposal Robert Hamiltonsupported by Wes Jenkins mentioned a joint interest of bothVancouver and Calgary cities to hold the meeting in 2012 Thisdate seems plausible because several scenographic projects willhave been completed in those two cities and it seems that the year2012 would be the first available date In fact Salzburg will behosting the meeting in 2009 probably Rio in 2010 and Prague in2011 during the Quadrennial
However in private Robert told me he was not sure that thoseprojects would be completed I replied that Queacutebec City couldprobably host the meetings of both Architecture and Scenographycommissions to which we could add the Technology CommissionIndeed in 2012 the proposed new venues designed by RobertLepage in a disused tunnel in the downtown district will have beencompleted for some time and the combination of the Carrefourinternational de theacuteacirctre de Queacutebec - from mid-May to end-May -the tour of the Lepage project and others venues such as the PalaisMontcalm would be an additional benefit and could constitute anamalgam of interesting activities
Robert Hamilton also emphasized the importance for commissionmembers to be officially invited by the OISTAT and its commissionsto better justify the travelling and the value of the meetings withtheir employers and agencies that fund them
The visit of Drottningholms Slottsteater (wwwdtmse)The visit of this theatre in the afternoon was just fantastic Themembers of the Architecture Commission (AC) and theScenography Commission (SC) travelled to the theatre by boat onwhich we all had lunch The theatre built in 1766 is the oldest inEurope to have preserved the architecture and stage machineryfrom the period just like another theatre in the Czech RepublicChesky Krumlov (wwwckrumlovcz) Our guide led us on stageexplaining the astounding stage elements and lighting devices andallowing us to visit some adjacent spaces and the dressing roomsAn unforgettable visit although because of the large size of ourgroup we could not visit the machinery under the stage and the

We then visited the Chinese pavilion before returning toStockholm together for the welcome dinner at the Royal CoinCabinet a museum facing the Royal Palace and located in thefamous historic quarter of Gamla Stan (wwwmyntkabinettetse)
As you can see Monique from day one our conference was prettyintense
June 15The day began with a joint meeting of members of bothcommissions and the introduction of Raija Hirvikoski the Finnishdesigner of whom I have already spoken at the beginning of thislong letter
Evidently she explained very skilfully the architectural problems of
theatres designed by Alvar Aalto the internationally renownedarchitect I must admit she was right If Aalto had consultedtheatre consultants a discipline invented by Richard PilbrowTheater Project Consultants in London and existing at that time Ibelieve that many mistakes both in the auditorium and in theadjacent areas could have been avoided
The workshopThis pungent introduction set the tone for the workshop thatfollowed for much of the day We randomly grouped into eightteams I ended up with Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) that I did notknow yet Peter Ruthven Hall (United Kingdom) Johu (Finland) PuLin (Taiwan) and Jerome Maeckelberghe (Belgium) We discussedmore than designed a new form of theatre a Happy TheatreOur team proceeded by establishing lists of spaces we liked themost and those we liked the least to finally draft a list of those thatamazed us the most and tried to identify patterns or similaritiesOther teams worked differently trying to draw the most optimal

Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers
Presentations of papersThe papers were presented in the museums auditorium and thepresentation was open to architecture and design students and toan interested public

The evening was free I took the opportunity to dine out in townwith the British scenographer Peter Ruthven Hall who invited meto come to Britain in the fall to give a lecture on my work withRobert Lepage
June 16June the 16th the last official day of our meeting was broken intotwo segments We were first invited to a different location withinthe city the Dramatiska Institutet (wwwdraminstse) theUniversity College of the Film Radio Television and Theatrerecently built by our architect host of this conference TorstenNobling
In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice
Jrsquoai personnellement demandeacute que les membres de notre comiteacutepuissent obtenir de bonnes photographies des dessins exeacutecuteacutes parles membres des diffeacuterentes eacutequipes et que nous obtenions uneforme de compte rendu Jrsquoai aussi suggeacutereacute que cette informationsoit disponible et serve de point de deacutepart agrave lrsquoatelier de lrsquoanprochain qui sera tenu agrave Salzbourg Ces demandes ont eacuteteacuteaccueillies tregraves favorablement comme faisant partie drsquoun processuscontinu de recherche
En architecture il y avait neuf preacutesentations preacutevues mais sept onteffectivement eacuteteacute visionneacutees les voici dans lrsquoordre
bull Torsten Nobling The Stavanger Theatre Norway
And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games

Les prochaines rencontres du comiteacute ArchitectureIl a eacuteteacute souligneacute par Torsten Nobling que les coucircts de subsistance etdrsquoheacutebergement dont le comiteacute Architecture deacutefraie pour sesparticipants sont devenus tregraves eacuteleveacutes Il semble que cette pratiqueserait abandonneacutee pour la prochaine rencontre de Salzbourg sansque cela me semble-t-il nrsquoait fait lrsquoobjet drsquoaucun vote speacutecifique
Par ailleurs agrave titre purement speacuteculatif Robert Hamilton soutenupar Wes Jenkins a indiqueacute lrsquointeacuterecirct conjoint de Vancouver et deCalgary de tenir la rencontre de 2012 Cette date semble plausibleparce que plusieurs projets sceacutenographiques auront eacuteteacute compleacuteteacutesdans les deux villes et qursquoil semble aussi que ce soit lagrave la premiegraveredate disponible En effet Salzbourg recevrait la rencontre de 2009potentiellement Rio en 2010 et Prague en 2011 lors de laQuadriennale
Cependant en aparteacute Robert mrsquoindique qursquoil nrsquoest pas certain quelesdits projets seront compleacuteteacutes ce agrave quoi je lui ai mentionneacute que
la ville de Queacutebec pourrait recevoir les rencontres des comiteacutesArchitecture et Sceacutenographie auxquelles devrait srsquoajouter le comiteacuteTechnologique En effet en 2012 le projet de nouvelles salles despectacles de Robert Lepage ameacutenageacutees dans un tunnel deacutesaffecteacutedu centre-ville devrait ecirctre compleacuteteacute depuis longtemps et lacombinaison des activiteacutes du Carrefour international de theacuteacirctre deQueacutebec - de la mi-mai agrave la fin-mai - et de la visite de ce projet etdrsquoautres comme le Palais Montcalm serait un atout additionnel etpourrait constituer un amalgame drsquoactiviteacutes des plus inteacuteressants
Robert Hamilton a aussi souligneacute lrsquoimportance pour les membresdes comiteacutes drsquoecirctre inviteacutes officiellement par lrsquoOISTAT et ses comiteacutesafin de pouvoir mieux justifier le deacuteplacement et le bien-fondeacute desrencontres aupregraves de leurs employeurs et des organismes qui lessubventionnent
consecutive quadrennials Thus Reinhold Daberto proposed that aSummer Academyrdquo be held every four years between thequadrennials to stimulate discussion and to prepare for the nextquadrennial This activity would take place in Salzburg Austria incollaboration with the Mozarteum (University of Music andDramatic Arts wwwmozarteumat ) during the Salzburg Festival
OISTAT has allocated a sum of 1000 euros to help develop thisproject The next meeting of the Architecture Commission will beheld in Salzburg in June 2009 I am letting you know Moniquethat I am planning to participate as the official CITT votingdelegate
Other competitionsReinhold Daberto mentions that OISTAT was asked to participateas a consultant in the organization of the theatre architecturalcompetition in Russia and notably the Surgut Theatrerdquo projectDetails to follow
The next meetings of the Architecture CommissionIt was pointed out by Torsten Nobling that the cost of subsistenceand accommodation that the Architecture Commission pays forthe participants at this meeting is very high It seems that thispractice will be abandoned for the next meeting in Salzburgalthough it seems that there was no specific vote on that topic
Furthermore as a purely speculative proposal Robert Hamiltonsupported by Wes Jenkins mentioned a joint interest of bothVancouver and Calgary cities to hold the meeting in 2012 Thisdate seems plausible because several scenographic projects willhave been completed in those two cities and it seems that the year2012 would be the first available date In fact Salzburg will behosting the meeting in 2009 probably Rio in 2010 and Prague in2011 during the Quadrennial
However in private Robert told me he was not sure that thoseprojects would be completed I replied that Queacutebec City couldprobably host the meetings of both Architecture and Scenographycommissions to which we could add the Technology CommissionIndeed in 2012 the proposed new venues designed by RobertLepage in a disused tunnel in the downtown district will have beencompleted for some time and the combination of the Carrefourinternational de theacuteacirctre de Queacutebec - from mid-May to end-May -the tour of the Lepage project and others venues such as the PalaisMontcalm would be an additional benefit and could constitute anamalgam of interesting activities
Robert Hamilton also emphasized the importance for commissionmembers to be officially invited by the OISTAT and its commissionsto better justify the travelling and the value of the meetings withtheir employers and agencies that fund them
The visit of Drottningholms Slottsteater (wwwdtmse)The visit of this theatre in the afternoon was just fantastic Themembers of the Architecture Commission (AC) and theScenography Commission (SC) travelled to the theatre by boat onwhich we all had lunch The theatre built in 1766 is the oldest inEurope to have preserved the architecture and stage machineryfrom the period just like another theatre in the Czech RepublicChesky Krumlov (wwwckrumlovcz) Our guide led us on stageexplaining the astounding stage elements and lighting devices andallowing us to visit some adjacent spaces and the dressing roomsAn unforgettable visit although because of the large size of ourgroup we could not visit the machinery under the stage and the

We then visited the Chinese pavilion before returning toStockholm together for the welcome dinner at the Royal CoinCabinet a museum facing the Royal Palace and located in thefamous historic quarter of Gamla Stan (wwwmyntkabinettetse)
As you can see Monique from day one our conference was prettyintense
June 15The day began with a joint meeting of members of bothcommissions and the introduction of Raija Hirvikoski the Finnishdesigner of whom I have already spoken at the beginning of thislong letter
Evidently she explained very skilfully the architectural problems of
theatres designed by Alvar Aalto the internationally renownedarchitect I must admit she was right If Aalto had consultedtheatre consultants a discipline invented by Richard PilbrowTheater Project Consultants in London and existing at that time Ibelieve that many mistakes both in the auditorium and in theadjacent areas could have been avoided
The workshopThis pungent introduction set the tone for the workshop thatfollowed for much of the day We randomly grouped into eightteams I ended up with Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) that I did notknow yet Peter Ruthven Hall (United Kingdom) Johu (Finland) PuLin (Taiwan) and Jerome Maeckelberghe (Belgium) We discussedmore than designed a new form of theatre a Happy TheatreOur team proceeded by establishing lists of spaces we liked themost and those we liked the least to finally draft a list of those thatamazed us the most and tried to identify patterns or similaritiesOther teams worked differently trying to draw the most optimal

The presentation of Robert Hamiltonrsquos team was particularlysuccessful and fun The result the fruit project which claimed toencompass all other types of theatres is a pineapple (ThePineapple Project) as named by Robert and which I havemockingly renamed the olive project (The Pitt-off Olive Project)
Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers

In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice
Jrsquoai personnellement demandeacute que les membres de notre comiteacutepuissent obtenir de bonnes photographies des dessins exeacutecuteacutes parles membres des diffeacuterentes eacutequipes et que nous obtenions uneforme de compte rendu Jrsquoai aussi suggeacutereacute que cette informationsoit disponible et serve de point de deacutepart agrave lrsquoatelier de lrsquoanprochain qui sera tenu agrave Salzbourg Ces demandes ont eacuteteacuteaccueillies tregraves favorablement comme faisant partie drsquoun processuscontinu de recherche

bull Torsten Nobling The Stavanger Theatre Norway
And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games
Our thanks to the Corporates for theirsupport and to Nasco Staffing Solutions forproviding tickets to The Killers concert BothPresentation House Theatre and Royal CityMusical Society supplied theatre ticketsBrian Cloutier of Epic ProductionTechnologies generously picked up the tabfor the pizza

We then visited the Chinese pavilion before returning toStockholm together for the welcome dinner at the Royal CoinCabinet a museum facing the Royal Palace and located in thefamous historic quarter of Gamla Stan (wwwmyntkabinettetse)
As you can see Monique from day one our conference was prettyintense
June 15The day began with a joint meeting of members of bothcommissions and the introduction of Raija Hirvikoski the Finnishdesigner of whom I have already spoken at the beginning of thislong letter
Evidently she explained very skilfully the architectural problems of
theatres designed by Alvar Aalto the internationally renownedarchitect I must admit she was right If Aalto had consultedtheatre consultants a discipline invented by Richard PilbrowTheater Project Consultants in London and existing at that time Ibelieve that many mistakes both in the auditorium and in theadjacent areas could have been avoided
The workshopThis pungent introduction set the tone for the workshop thatfollowed for much of the day We randomly grouped into eightteams I ended up with Elizabeth Asselstine (Canada) that I did notknow yet Peter Ruthven Hall (United Kingdom) Johu (Finland) PuLin (Taiwan) and Jerome Maeckelberghe (Belgium) We discussedmore than designed a new form of theatre a Happy TheatreOur team proceeded by establishing lists of spaces we liked themost and those we liked the least to finally draft a list of those thatamazed us the most and tried to identify patterns or similaritiesOther teams worked differently trying to draw the most optimal

configuration of the ideal theatre
The presentation of Robert Hamiltonrsquos team was particularlysuccessful and fun The result the fruit project which claimed toencompass all other types of theatres is a pineapple (ThePineapple Project) as named by Robert and which I havemockingly renamed the olive project (The Pitt-off Olive Project)
Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers
Presentations of papersThe papers were presented in the museums auditorium and thepresentation was open to architecture and design students and toan interested public

The evening was free I took the opportunity to dine out in townwith the British scenographer Peter Ruthven Hall who invited meto come to Britain in the fall to give a lecture on my work withRobert Lepage
June 16June the 16th the last official day of our meeting was broken intotwo segments We were first invited to a different location withinthe city the Dramatiska Institutet (wwwdraminstse) theUniversity College of the Film Radio Television and Theatrerecently built by our architect host of this conference TorstenNobling
In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice

And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

The presentation of Robert Hamiltonrsquos team was particularlysuccessful and fun The result the fruit project which claimed toencompass all other types of theatres is a pineapple (ThePineapple Project) as named by Robert and which I havemockingly renamed the olive project (The Pitt-off Olive Project)
Most surprising was that at the end of the day whatever thesolutions the constant is that the black box-type space with theideal proportions of 20 m x 30 m seems to delight both architectsand scenographers provided that the support spaces aresufficiently generous and versatile A summary of these differentsolutions will be sent to participants by Torsten Nobling Theworkshop session was interrupted after lunch to allow thepresentation of various papers
Presentations of papersThe papers were presented in the museums auditorium and thepresentation was open to architecture and design students and toan interested public

The evening was free I took the opportunity to dine out in townwith the British scenographer Peter Ruthven Hall who invited meto come to Britain in the fall to give a lecture on my work withRobert Lepage
June 16June the 16th the last official day of our meeting was broken intotwo segments We were first invited to a different location withinthe city the Dramatiska Institutet (wwwdraminstse) theUniversity College of the Film Radio Television and Theatrerecently built by our architect host of this conference TorstenNobling
In the morning members of the two commissions convened forthree short but critical presentations
World Stage Design 2009The first presentation was from Korean Sung Chul Kim on thelaunch of World Stage Design WSD for which he is the chair(wwwwsd2009com) and whose website is already in operationFor more information visit wwwoistatorg
Announcing the exhibition PQ07The second presentation was from Simona Ribacova from Praguewho mentioned to the assembly that the official name of the nextQuadrennial will be changed to International Exhibition of Designand Performance Spacerdquo
She also informed us that there will be as in the past a theme forthe national exhibit and that there will be more space allocated fornew countries but perhaps not necessarily in the Exhibition Hallthat we have been accustomed to convene in during the pastquadrennials

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice
Jrsquoai personnellement demandeacute que les membres de notre comiteacutepuissent obtenir de bonnes photographies des dessins exeacutecuteacutes parles membres des diffeacuterentes eacutequipes et que nous obtenions uneforme de compte rendu Jrsquoai aussi suggeacutereacute que cette informationsoit disponible et serve de point de deacutepart agrave lrsquoatelier de lrsquoanprochain qui sera tenu agrave Salzbourg Ces demandes ont eacuteteacuteaccueillies tregraves favorablement comme faisant partie drsquoun processuscontinu de recherche
En architecture il y avait neuf preacutesentations preacutevues mais sept onteffectivement eacuteteacute visionneacutees les voici dans lrsquoordre

And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games
Our thanks to the Corporates for theirsupport and to Nasco Staffing Solutions forproviding tickets to The Killers concert BothPresentation House Theatre and Royal CityMusical Society supplied theatre ticketsBrian Cloutier of Epic ProductionTechnologies generously picked up the tabfor the pizza

temps de trois courtes mais essentielles preacutesentations
World Stage Design 2009La premiegravere fut celle du Coreacuteen Sung Chul Kim au sujet dulancement du World Stage Design WSD dont il est le preacutesident(wwwwsd2009com) et dont le site Internet est deacutejagrave en fonctionPour en savoir plus consulter le site wwwoistatorg
Announcing the PQ07 exhibitionLa seconde fut celle de la Pragoise Simona Ribacova qui a indiqueacuteagrave lrsquoassembleacutee que le nom officiel de la prochaine quadriennale seramodifieacute pour devenir laquoInternational Exhibition of PerformanceDesign and Spaceraquo
Par ailleurs elle nous a informes qursquoil nrsquoy aura plus comme par lepasseacute de thegraveme pour les expositions nationales et qursquoil y aura plusdrsquoespace pour de nouveaux pays participants peut-ecirctre pasneacutecessairement dans le Exhibition Hall ougrave nous avions lrsquohabitudede nous retrouver depuis tant et tant de quadriennales
Elle confirme enfin que toutes les activiteacutes de lrsquoOISTAT feront partiedu Scenofest de la Quadriennale de 2011
laquoA much larger laquoMulti Lingualraquo ProjectraquoCette derniegravere preacutesentation fut celle du Belge JeromeMaeckelbergh Cette preacutesentation en a eacutetonneacute plus drsquoun moi lepremier M Maeckelbergh a mis au point un site Internetmultilingue pour les membres de lrsquoOISTAT qui permet agrave chacun desrsquoy retrouver dans sa langue Peu importe le mot cleacute utiliseacute toutelrsquoinformation disponible apparaicirct instantaneacutement dans la langue duchercheur Le site serait financeacute par des compagnies de produits detheacuteacirctre de sceacutenographie et drsquoarchitecture et permettraitnotamment agrave nrsquoimporte quel creacuteateur de connaicirctre lesdisponibiliteacutes des produits dans son environnement immeacutediat Lesite nrsquoest pas encore en fonction mais le serait sous peu Il esteacutetonnant de simpliciteacute et sera un veacutehicule de promotion dediffusion et drsquoeacutechange eacutetonnant
Il y aura une rencontre de lrsquoOISTAT agrave Belgrade en Roumanie les 16et 17 septembre prochains afin de deacutevelopper ce site Internet Agrave cesujet je trsquoinvite agrave lire lrsquoinvitation de Jerome en post-scriptum
Autres preacutesentations speacutecifiquesPuis les membres des deux comiteacutes se sont regroupeacutes au sein deleurs groupes respectifs pour des preacutesentations speacutecifiques Avantde lancer ces exposeacutes Reinhold Daberto notre preacutesident eacutelu a faitun retour sur lrsquoatelier de la veille qui srsquoeacutetait un peu termineacute enqueue de poisson puisque nous avions ducirc faire place nette tregravesrapidement au museacutee drsquoarchitecture sans qursquoil y ait neacutecessairementde sommaire agrave lrsquoexercice
Jrsquoai personnellement demandeacute que les membres de notre comiteacutepuissent obtenir de bonnes photographies des dessins exeacutecuteacutes parles membres des diffeacuterentes eacutequipes et que nous obtenions uneforme de compte rendu Jrsquoai aussi suggeacutereacute que cette informationsoit disponible et serve de point de deacutepart agrave lrsquoatelier de lrsquoanprochain qui sera tenu agrave Salzbourg Ces demandes ont eacuteteacuteaccueillies tregraves favorablement comme faisant partie drsquoun processuscontinu de recherche
En architecture il y avait neuf preacutesentations preacutevues mais sept onteffectivement eacuteteacute visionneacutees les voici dans lrsquoordre

And finally she confirmed that all the OISTAT activities would beintegrated into the Scenofest of the 2011 Quadrennial
A much larger Multi Lingual ProjectThe last presentation was from Belgian Jerome Maeckelberghe Hispresentation surprised many me the first Mr Maeckelberghedeveloped a multilingual website for OISTAT members whichallows everyone to find their way in their own languageRegardless of the keyword all available information appearsinstantly in the language of the user The site would be funded bytheatre equipment manufacturers theatre consultants andarchitecture firms and would enable any designer to know theavailability of products in its immediate surroundings The site isnot yet operational but would soon be It is remarkable by itssimplicity and will be a great vehicle for promotion disseminationand exciting exchanges
There is an OISTAT meeting scheduled in Belgrade Romania on 16and 17 September to develop this website To that effect I inviteyou to read Jeromersquos invitation at the end of the letter
Other specific presentationsAfterward members of both commissions regrouped within theirrespective groups for some more specific presentations Beforelaunching these presentations Reinhold Daberto our electedpresident backtracked to the previous dayrsquos workshop which sortof tapered off without summing up the exercise because we hadto make our way rapidly to the architecture museum
I personally requested that the members of our committee receivegood photographs of the drawings made by members of thedifferent teams and that we get a written summary I alsosuggested that this information be made available and serve as astarting point for next yearrsquos workshop which will be held inSalzburg These applications have been received very favourably aspart of a continuous research process

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games
Our thanks to the Corporates for theirsupport and to Nasco Staffing Solutions forproviding tickets to The Killers concert BothPresentation House Theatre and Royal CityMusical Society supplied theatre ticketsBrian Cloutier of Epic ProductionTechnologies generously picked up the tabfor the pizza

Visit of the Drama InstituteThe visit of this new institute was particularly interesting as muchby the planning of the different functions along an interior streetas the specific technical organization of the various studios for filmtelevision theatre and others In some respects this finishedproject reminded me of a similar proposition that I developedduring the architectural contest of the Production Centre for thePerforming Arts in Sherbrooke which unfortunately was notretained by the jury So anyway as you can see Monique youcan always find comfort in knowing that ones own good ideas canbe found elsewhere in the world including a much-appreciatedrecent project
I had to abruptly leave the tour of the Institute for I only had a fewfree hours to track down three projects of the famous Swedisharchitect Erik Gunnar Asplund built in the 1920s the public librarythe Skandia Theatre and the Woodland Cemetery Believe it or notMonique I managed a ldquotour de forcerdquo of tracking and visiting allthree before returning to meet the members of the Canadiandelegation at the restaurant for our last meal together
The last supperAt the suggestion of Suzanne a Swedish friend of Robert we ndashWes Elizabeth Robert and myself accompanied by Nissar Allanaan Indian architect and Suzanne ndash invaded the vaults of arestaurant in the old city Magnus Ladulas where we relishedourselves all night long I had to abandon them to indescribablethings I can barely recall while I dashed back to my hotel to finishpacking my bags and prepare for an early flight the next morningat 700 am precisely for the long journey back home Stockholm -Paris - Montreacuteal - Queacutebec
I had to be back in Queacutebec by June 19 because I was to beinducted into the Wall of Celebrities at my high school and it wasrequested of me to deliver the end of the year speech to 160graduateshellip

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games

Meanwhile back in Sweden several of my newly acquired friendsroamed the countryside in search of Swedish theatres and unusualshows including Dalhalla (wwwdalarnase) an open air theatre ina stone quarry 300 km from Stockholm
So there you go my dear Monique you now know everything Ireally enjoyed the experience and I hope to renew it next year inSalzburg I am particularly pleased with the new professional andpersonal contacts I have made My greatest discovery I believewas realising how the Swedes and in particular the Dutch have atradition of theatre architecture that competes favourably with theFrench and British Holland will undoubtedly be the nextdestination for theatre visits

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games
Our thanks to the Corporates for theirsupport and to Nasco Staffing Solutions forproviding tickets to The Killers concert BothPresentation House Theatre and Royal CityMusical Society supplied theatre ticketsBrian Cloutier of Epic ProductionTechnologies generously picked up the tabfor the pizza

The Massey Theatre in New WestminsterBC was the venue for Student Night lsquo09held on Friday January 16th This was agreat location for the event combining thetradition and lsquoold schoolrsquo technology of thehemp system and the recently installedstate-of-the-art Meyer rig
As always general mingling started theevening as students chatted with suppliersand organizations Also there were plentyof opportunities for the Corporates to catchup with each other This has become animportant side-feature of the event
Ben Smith of Christie Lites Vancouver did alighting board presentation Shawn Hinesof GerrAudio Distribution did a sounddesign mini-workshop Tours of the facilitywere led by Don Parman Massey TechnicalDirector (and CITT BC Section President)and Erin Nelligan Assistant TechnicalDirector Don also did a workshop on videoprojection
Challenge Master Roger Lantz gave thechallenge a twist this year The studentswere divided into two large teams Onewas required to build a model fromsupplied and found objects of the OlympicVillage The other had to model a proposalfor the twinning of the Port Mann BridgeWhen complete they had to go beforelsquoCity Councilrsquo and argue the validity andimportance of their project Eventually thebridge proposal was declared the winner
The athletes will have to sleep under thebridge and take public transit to the games
Our thanks to the Corporates for theirsupport and to Nasco Staffing Solutions forproviding tickets to The Killers concert BothPresentation House Theatre and Royal CityMusical Society supplied theatre ticketsBrian Cloutier of Epic ProductionTechnologies generously picked up the tabfor the pizza

was not able to attend
Unfortunately although numbers werestrong for both students and Corporatesthe number of schools had dropped WhileVancouver Island University (formerlyMalaspina College) Capilano University(formerly Capilano College) and DouglasCollege (still a college) each sent largecontingents other schools were noticeableby their absence It is of course impossibleto pick a night that fits everybodyrsquosschedule but Don Parman has issued achallenge to the other programs to attendHe even has mentioned the possibility ofprizes Or perhaps just public shaming fornot showing Student Night rsquo10 is January15th ndash mark your production schedulesnow
Thanks to Massey Theatre ExecutiveDirector Jessica Schneider and to Don andhis staff for providing the venue Andthanks to Mike Taugher Dave Winstanleyand Drew Young who got their studentsout for the event
