Schoenauer's Montreal

The following themes organize a small part of the thousands of slides in the Norbert Schoenauer Slides Collection housed in the John Bland Canadian Architecture Collection. They relate to the photographic studies Norbert Schoenauer had done for lectures, articles, books, etc. The slides signify his approach to and thoughts on architecture and its study, which was documenting artifacts with his camera and sketch book, as demonstrated by the variety of shots. One way of thinking about these slides and the narratives they embody is to consider them as invitations to Montreal through the lens of Norbert Schoenauer. Those who are interested in his written works would relate intimately with the images. Those interested in Montreal would find that the themes are convolutes for various architectural sites, providing an architect's and educator's perspective on a selection of surreptitious findings in the city.
