Woodruff Family fonds, 1784 – 1983, (non-inclusive)

The Woodruff Family Collection: From the time the Woodruff Family came to Canada from the United States in 1795, they took an active role in the forming of their communities both in a civic and social manner. This is evident through the documents contained in this collection. The Woodruffs played an active role in the battles fought in Upper Canada and they were an integral part of the Village of St. Davids. They were educated, business-minded and socially engaged. They accumulated much of their fortune through land dealings. Much of this collection focuses on Samuel DeVeaux Woodruff who was principally a businessman. His dedication to his work is shown through his numerous undertakings. He made his mark on the Niagara Peninsula through his work on the railways, roads, marsh land revisions, canals and the paper industry. He was also involved with the founding of the Long Point Company and he took control of building DeVeaux Hall down to the last detail. His offspring inherited his work ethic and his business acumen. The people who married into the Woodruff Family also possessed key social, political and business ties. Anne and Margaret Clement were from a staunch Loyalist background. Samuel Zimmerman was instrumental to the founding of Niagara Falls and Judge Samuel DeVeaux left behind a legacy for poor and homeless boys in Niagara Falls, New York. The Woodruff Family undoubtedly left a mark on the Niagara Peninsula. This collection brings to light many endeavours of the family and their varied contributions.

Les patterns de Christopher Alexander appliqués aux cuisines domiciliaires modernes

La présente recherche traite des conflits d’aménagement pouvant être décelés dans les cuisines domiciliaires modernes. L’ajout d’objets mécanisés au rituel alimentaire quotidien a su changer la dynamique du lieu. En effet, l’architecture des cuisines modernes en Occident présente de grandes contradictions. Basées sur des standards architecturaux, les cuisines modulaires ne reflètent pas la variété et l’unicité des aliments auxquels les cuisines sont dédiées. Les cuisines devraient être le miroir de la vivacité naturelle des aliments et des échanges humains que la nourriture génère à travers le plaisir et le partage. Dans l’espoir de proposer des outils afin de rééquilibrer la dynamique de cette pièce, un cadre théorique basé sur les théories architecturales de l’architecte et mathématicien anglais Christopher Alexander a été établi. Supportant la présente recherche, ces théories architecturales s’inspirent de la structure et de la composition des choses de la nature et des monuments anciens afin d’établir des balises d’aménagement simples et équilibrées (qualité de vie, patterns, configuration des événements, configurations de l’espace, ...). Ces théories ont aidé à concevoir une formule d’ateliers participatifs qui visent à outiller les occupants, qui sont très souvent des non-professionnels du domaine de l’architecture et du design. Ces ateliers proposent un cheminement bien encadré qui permet aux participants de retravailler leur espace de cuisine respectif selon leurs goûts et leurs besoins. En fournissant un plan de l’étage où se situe la cuisine, quelques crayons, règles et autres matériel de dessin, les participants ont pour tâche de réaménager leur cuisine en un espace de cuisine idéal. La deuxième étape, qui elle se réalise en équipe avec tous les occupants participants de la demeure, consiste à réduire l’ampleur des changements afin d’arriver à un résultat réaliste. L’enthousiasme noté tout au long de ce processus a ainsi permis de confirmer que les non-professionnels du domaine de l’architecture et du design peuvent développer un intérêt marqué pour l’amélioration de leurs interactions quotidiennes, avec l’espace et entre les occupants, lorsque bien accompagnés dans cette tâche. Grâce aux propos et aux plans recueillis durant les séances d’ateliers participatifs ainsi qu’à l’analyse de ces données, une série d’interprétations ont émergé. Les données ont notamment démontrées l’influence positive de l’utilisation des patterns d’Alexander. L’analyse permet, en outre, de noter les tendances d’aménagement ayant émergé de l’utilisation des patterns dans les espaces de cuisine : définitivement, les cuisines se sont transformées en espace de vie partagé et polyvalent. Finalement, la présente recherche se conclut grâce à une série de recommandations qui traitent de la structure des cuisines, des ateliers participatifs et des patterns. Tout d’abord, l’impact de ces notions sur les espaces retravaillés par les participants est impressionnant. Les espaces sont bien organisés, vastes et, surtout, reflètent les occupants qui y vivent au quotidien. De plus, ayant démontré la facilité d’utilisation et la polyvalence des patterns, il a été jugé que certains aspects devraient être améliorés tels que l’actualisation de certains patterns, le prolongement du processus d’ateliers, le perfectionnement de la méthode et la diffusion des résultats.
