This chapter traces the life of architectural objects at the Canadian Centre of Architecture (CCA) and the conservation lab, which creates the impression of being the most isolated place at the CCA. It describes the objects on trial, experiments in progress, protocols, tests results, a giant microscope, and the lingering smell of unknown chemicals inside the conservation lab. It also emphasizes how objects in the conservation lab are treated like patients in need of special care as the objects get a full health and security check. The chapter analyses reports of each object's experiences and reactions, which allow the objects to be inspected during an exhibition to ensure that they have not changed. It reviews the work of conservators Karen Potje and David Stevenson in order to follow how the affected objects are treated amidst the fear of time and hazards of climates and environments.

This chapter brings together a number of moves under different collectors that redefine an archive as a heterogeneous and relational aggregate that captures the distributed epistemic nature of an architectural oeuvre. It outlines archival ways of knowing that suggest how architecture can be grasped as a versatile addition of built forms. It also examines a composite understanding of architecture which causes a rethinking of what collections do to history, to architectural knowledge and its institutions. The chapter emphasizes how archiving discovers a history of architectural forms that unfolds as a diagram of active forces to challenge and reactualize the distributed ontological boundaries of buildings. It describes archiving as a semantic machine that continually evolves and develops possible futures for architecture.

This chapter reviews several developments in the social sciences and the arts that date back to the 1990s and motivated this study of archives as practice. It refers to Jacques Derrida and Paul Ricoeur as key protagonists that led to the rethinking of the role of archiving as a tool of memory. It also details the emergence of the trend of “archival ethnography,” which witnessed the advent of the archival turn in anthropology. The chapter elaborates how archival scholarship took an empirical turn in the mid-1990s, coinciding with the “archive fever” in the arts and the “archival turn” in anthropology that opened venues for investigating architectural archiving. It explores the realm of architectural practice wherein the computer radically changed working dynamics and led to the practice's own archival turn in the mid-1990s.
