Project
AP018.S1.1974.PR20
Description:
This project series documents the design of a condominium complex in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec from 1974-1976. The office identified the project number as 7426. This project consisted of a proposed condominium complex, composed of multiple low-rise buildings, with approximately 40-54 units located on Senneville Road next to the Lake of Two Mountains. Many schemes were considered for this project, including one with a series of modular buildings on a diagonal grid, and another with a perimeter of modular buildings with a courtyard in the middle. Despite the scheme, these condo buildings were always low-rise, with a few units per building. This may have been due to the fact that the lot was zoned for single dwelling, townhouse, duplex or triplex homes with a maximum of three storeys. There were also several schemes for the parking, such as a parking garage, individual driveways, or parking underground each unit. This project, commissioned by TransAtlantic Consultants Limited in Montreal, changed many times as budgets were reduced over the years. In the end, it seems the project was never constructed. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1974-1976. Most of the drawings are original design drawings of plans, sections, elevations and an isometric, with some reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice memos, survey and site data, local by-laws, construction documentations, cost estimates and research. There is an index to the textual records, created by the office, located before file AP018.S1.1974.PR20.007.

Description:
This project series documents Phase 2A of work completed for Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island from 1991-1992. The office identified the project number as 9104. This project consisted of interior work for part of the company's headquarters and was the second in a series of projects that the firm would complete for the headquarters. The 300,000 square foot building was predominantly one-storey and located on the block between Saratoga, Grand, London and Newport Avenues. The three projects were known as Main Street, Phase 2A and Phase 2B. Phase 1 was completed in 1986 by Barton Myers Associates with Shirley Blumberg as partner-in-charge. These subsequent projects by KPMB were also headed by Shirley Blumberg and continued the initial style she had established in Phase 1. These projects saw the conversion of a historic brick and masonry mill into the company's new offices. The office structure was inspired by the layout of a Greek town, with a main street running through it. This phase included office areas for the engineering soft toys department, the creative services department, human resources and legal services, as well as a fabric library, fabric storage room, conference rooms, and a presentation theatre with a curved backdrop. Planning for the next phase and an east wing also began during this time. The project is recorded through drawings and a project model dating from 1988-1992. These are mostly original drawings and include sketches, plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, details, and some construction drawings. Many of the drawings focus on the office furniture.

Sub-series
AP197.S1.SS9
Description:
This subseries is comprised of notes, drafts, research, and photographic materials that were organized by topic. Unlike Kenneth Frampton’s research files which are arranged in Series AP197.S2, these files were compiled for book projects, articles, book reviews, lectures, interviews, conference addresses, and keynote speeches, and document over 300 of Frampton's published or unpublished texts. The materials include notes, contracts, drafts, correspondence, final copies of texts, photographic materials, and research materials. This subseries also includes Frampton’s curriculum vitaes, notebooks, and covers he designed for the journal Architectural Design (1962-1964). The files are organized alphabetically by the topic explored, namely architects. Some of these architects include: Alvar Aalto; Tadao Ando; Georges Baines; Luis Barragan; H.P. Berlage; Mario Botta; Alberto Campo Baeza; David Chipperfield; Alvaro Siza; Michael Kagan; Louis Kahn; Rem Koolhaas; Kengo Kuma; Kisho Kurakawa; Adolf Loos; Le Corbusier; Raphael Moneo; Carlo Scarpa; O.M. Ungers; Raj Rewal; Rogelio Salmona; Frank Lloyd Wright; and Monica Pidgeon. Subjects explored in these texts include: photography; the predicament of environmental design; reciprocal regionalism; the British Library; China's sacred sites; reflections on the oppositions of architecture and building; reflections on Perspecta; and the role of education. Large portions of these boxes document the publications "World Architecture 1900-2000: a Critical Mosaic" (1999), "Le Corbusier" (1997 and 2002), "American Masterworks: the Twentieth Century House" (1995), and "American Masterworks" (2008). Some folders may include coloured tabs with the note "copied." These tabs were used to identify whether the particular writing/project in question had been added to Frampton's curriculum vitae.
