AP041.S1.1975.D2
Description:
This project series document the series FRAGMENTS is a group of photographs and mixed-media pieces depicting the frontal images of buildings in various states of neglect. Some of the photographs are altered, many are Xeroxed and drawn upon with coloured pencils. The title refers to the “elemental fragments which emerge out of the time-worn existence of buildings.” These images led to the creation of a project, Construction, 1975-1977, in which Charney explores the forms of these original buildings through sketches and then the construction of wooden sculptures.

AP041.S1.1967.D2
Description:
This project series documents a submission for a design competition commissioned by the Government of Canada for its pavilion at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka, Japan. Fashioned from construction cranes and scaffolding, Melvin Charney's submission (in collaboration with Harry Parnass and Janos Barancs) garnered significant interest and media coverage, and served as a turning point away from traditional architecture practice towards public art. The competition was won by architect Arthur Erickson. Material includes presentation drawings, a photograph of the no longer existant model, and competition documents including correspondence and a copy of the competition programme.
