AP178.S1.1988.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the Casa Guardiola in Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 56/80. The office assigned the date 1988 to this project. The project consisted of a house located on the Bay of Cadiz in Santa Maria del Mar in Spain. The holiday house was comissioned by a bull breeder. The client asked for four different architects to propose a design. These architects were Álvaro Siza, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk, and Frank Gehry. Siza's design included a structure of reinforced concrete and a series of courtyards. None of the architects' proposals were built. Documenting this project are sketches, studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, competition documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the model.

Description:
This project series documents the design of the Toronto-Dominion Bank Centre in Toronto in 1962. The office identified the project number as 6266. This project consisted of designs for the now famous modernist building complex, the Toronto-Dominion Centre. The design of the Toronto-Dominion Centre is almost wholly credited to architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Originally, firms John B. Parkin Associates in joint venture with Bregman + Hamann had designed the Centre, but their designs were criticized and eventually van der Rohe was brought on as the design consulting architect for design, while the other firms still acted as primary architects. This project consisted of early designs for the project. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of floor plans, site plans and elevations dating from 1962-1963.
