Port Eliot
AP144.S2.D66
Description:
File documents an unexecuted proposal for the long-term redevelopment of Lord Eliot's estate in Port Eliot, St Germans, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cedric Price's objective was "to increase the enjoyment and delight of the total property while in no way reducing its effectiveness as an agricultural unit" (Price with Murray 1971, 27). Drawings include site plans and plans of the existing house, and design development drawings for the estate, which locate woodland areas, a viaduct, a tidal estuary, and important views from the house. Renovations to the existing house are indicated on some of the drawings. Some material from this file was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 27. File also contains material for a later executed design for a garden maze. Material in the file was produced between 1903 and 1991, but predominantly between 1966 and 1980 and between 1983 and 1987. File contains a conceptual drawing, design development drawings, reference drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

Series
Dessins et tableaux
AP104.S1
Description:
Series I consists of sketches, drawings and paintings, mostly created by Parizeau. From the period he spent in Europe (1923-1933), there are 11 student drawings in the standard presentation format of the École des Beaux-arts de Paris, a volume of course notes, as well as unidentified drawings, sketchbooks and paintings of primarily buildings and landscapes executed in Paris and during his travels in France. Drawings relating to Parizeau's architectural career in Montreal are represented in a number of independant projects, including a small chapel beside the St. Lawrence River, a pair of two-storey cabin-cottages outside of Montreal, and several residences in the city. The documents are mostly original preliminary studies with some reproductions of working drawings. It should be noted that there are also photographs of exterior details of the Laroque Residence and the Jarry Residence in documents CO2 in Series II. Reproductions of designs for worker housing by French architect Eugène Beaudoin in 1938 perhaps give a clue to Parizeau's relatively early employment of modernist forms. A residence in Baie D'Urfé is unlikely to be connected to Parizeau because its date, ca. 1955, is a decade after his death. Parizeau's concern with furniture and interior design is represented in the Archive with many lively perspective sketches in colour, and elevation and plan studies of several kinds of rooms and types of furniture. Some preliminary drawings for interiors were grouped with the Gillow house in Ville Mont-Royal, and the Walter Downs Residence in Montreal. The artworks by Parizeau consist of paintings and drawings of landscapes, buildings, still lifes and figure studies on loose sheets and in bound sketchbooks. These works are executed in a variety of media, including pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour on paper, and oil paint on masonite panels. Studies of buildings in Brittany and Paris are the subjects in three small sketchbooks, while larger spiral-bound drawing books contain some architectural plans, elevations and details. Most of these artworks and sketches were likely created in Europe before 1933.

Synopsis:
The Office dA project records, 1991-2007, document the firm’s work on the Casa La Roca, Witte Arts Center, and Tongxian Arts Center projects. All three projects involved the use of traditional and locally-sourced materials, such as brick and terracotta block, to create continuous surfaces that appear structural despite remaining an architectural effect in the skin of the building. The archive consists of approximately 8362 digital files (8.5 GB), 1461 drawings and reproductions, four models and approximately 40 model pieces, as well as photographic materials, textual records and ephemera.

AP018.S1.1981.PR15
Description:
This project series documents changes to the CN Telecommunications Building made by Air Canada in Toronto from 1981-1984. The office identified the project number as 8115. The project consisted of electrical, mechanical and architectural changes made to the 6th, 7th, and 8th floors of the CN telecommunications building at 151 Front Street West. This was to allow for Air Canada's computer equipment centre, requiring 20,000 square feet of space, and support offices for 184 employees. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1980-1984. Most of the drawings are reprographic copies showing details. The textual records include correspondence, conference and site reports, a definitive study to determine the project scope, financial records, change orders, supplementary instruction, contract data, tender documents and specifications.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Student Housing at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project from 1991-1993 with architectural firm Matsuzaki Wright Architects. The landscape concept consisted in including the student housing building in a native woodland setting. Oberlander integrated the building with the existing woodland by adding native trees around the building and the access pathways and drives. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape concept plans, and landscape plans, and working drawings, such as grading plans, planting plans and landscape sections. It also contains construction drawings for the building used as reference. The project is also documented through textual records, such as concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence, including correspondence with architects, clients and consultants, reports and studies on the site, specifications, financial documents, and photographs of the landscaping.

Description:
File documents a project for an arts centre at Bennington College, Vermont. It was designed by the Chicago-based firm of Robertson Ward Jr., F.A.I.A. for whom Price was a consultant while he worked on other projects in Detroit (see Detroit Think Grid, 1954-1968, AP144.S2.D73). Design requirements specified that no metal or rubber materials be used, and Price collaborated on the development of custom structural wood connectors. Architectural working drawings show Phase 1 of the project for a two-storey studio (1970). Later structural drawings, created in collaboration with Chicago consulting engineers, The Engineers Collaborative, show both a visual arts building and a performing arts building. Material in this file was produced between 1970 and 1973. All drawings are stamped and signed by Robertson Ward. Jr., registered architect, State of Vermont. Information on attribution based on the content of the file and on notes by Howard Shubert, CCA Curator of Prints and Drawings, in conversation with Cedric Price. File contains working drawings.

Oberlander worked on this project in 1991-1993 with architectural firm Downs Archambault & Partners. The landscape design included tree planting for the stairs leading to the amphitheatre and planting around plaza and paved pathways connecting the new campus buildings. The university is now known as the Thompson Rivers University after a merging with the BC Open University in 2005. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape concept plans, details and planting plans, presentation drawings, including elevations and sections, and working drawings, such as irrigation plans, site plans, planting plans and details. The project is also documented through concept notes by Oberlander, proposals, correspondence with architects and clients, specifications, including landscape specifications, and also photographs of the landscaping.

This project series documents the Parcelas 191 e 192 in Porto, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 34/70. The office assigned the date 1976 for this project. The Comissariado para a Renovação Urbana da Área de Ribeira/Barredo was an organization responsible for the rehabilitation of the historic district of Porto. Alvaro Siza was selected to study the area and to propose architectural solutions for the Mercado da Ribeira (see project series AP178.S1.1976.PR01 in this fonds) Parcelas 191 e 192, and Largo da Lada (see project series AP178.S1.1976.PR03 in this fonds). For this project, Siza worked on two houses. Special attention was paid to the windows. This project was realized. Drawings include studies, elevations, sections and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation. Photographic materials include photographs of drawings.
