Project
AP207.S1.1971.PR05
Description:
The project series documents the performance "Falsa Curva D'Autostrada", also know in English as Fake Expressway Bend. The performance was undertaken with a group of Pettena's students from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Minneapolis, in 1971. It consisted of hanging a large tarp from the overpass of an expressway under construction. The tarp extended to the road underneath and was used to create a fake bend in the overpass. The performance was targeting "the excess of uniformity in urban design" by reimagining the linearity of the overpass into a fake curve. The project series contains two photographs of the fake expressway bend, two sketches for the installation, and project descriptions in English and in Italian.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Thunderbird Housing at University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Orberlander worked on this project from 1992-1995 with architectural firm Waisman Dewar Grout Carter. Oberlander landscape design for this project included planting beds, trees and espaliers to screen the windows from the paved commun courtyard. The courtyard also includes a circular barbecue construsted by continuing pavers, the same used as pavement for the courtyard. She also included planting of trees along the facades of the building and along the pathway connecting the student housing to the rest of the campus pavilions. The project series includes sketches, design development drawings, including landscape concept plans with plant lists, landscape elevations and sections, presentation drawings, and working drawings, such as irrigation plans, site plans, landscape plans and planting plans. The project is also documented through working drawings for the new student housing used as reference and photographs of the landscaping work. Textual records for this project comprises a proposal, concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence, including with clients, architects and consultants, and specifications.

AP149.S1.1984.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's post-occupancy study for Aranya Township, India, which was a newly development township completed in 1988 near Indore. Minimum Cost Housing Group initially work on the design of a plot of the township, which was the first one to be built and served as an alternative model to the whole township. The masterplan for the township was created by architect Balkrishna Doshi and the Vastu-Shilpa Foundation in 1981. The other plots started to be planned by and built in 1989. The Minimum Cost Housing Group then returned to Aranya to undertake the post-occupancy survey of the whole site and students from the group kept studying the site up to 2018. The material for this file was produced between 1984 and 2012. The project series contains slides, study drawings of the township and a publication on the post-occupancy study by the McGill group.

Description:
This project series documents the submission for Siza's CODA (Concurso para a Obtenção do Diploma de Arquitecto), for which he submitted his project Casa Rui Feijó in Caminha, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number [17]/60. The office assigned the date 1965 to this project. CODA is the final step for students to obtain their architecture degree. Siza used his preliminary work for the Casa Rui Feijó to develop his submission for his CODA. This project is a vacation house with three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, living room, service bedroom, exterior annex, garage, lounge and terrace. The original project for the home is also described in this fonds (see project series AP178.S1.1963.PR01). Documenting this project are plans and elevations. Also included are a small number of photographs and some project documentation.
