Description:
Manuscript DR1974:0002:036:006:001-006 documents a project in which the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères would apparently retain the property of its archives and the Hôtel d'Etchegoyan. The project proposes the creation of a new street to provide access to the rear of the opera house and to isolate it from the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères. The principal façade of the opera house was to be on the property of the Hôtel du Timbre facing rue de la Paix. The manuscript includes proposed construction costs and rental income for the opera house, including its boutiques and café, and the adjacent shopping arcades, apartments, and houses.

Description:
This project series documents the master plan for the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto in 1991. The office identified the project number as 9107. This project consisted of long-range planning for renovations and additions to the music school, located in Victorian-era McMaster Hall on Bloor Street and originally built in 1881. This plan came in preparation of the Conservatory's separation from the University of Toronto in 1987. The program recognized the need for 73,450 square feet of space for the school to carry out its teaching, administrative, public, and performance duties. The building had a basement, six floors above grade and two levels of parking. The work was to focus around public spaces for socialization and to create grand spaces for the performance of music. Smaller teaching and practice rooms, along with administrative spaces, were also to be included. The plan proposed the restoration of McMaster Hall, the restoration of Memorial Hall to the east of the building as a 220-seat recital hall, the creation of a new enclosed courtyard surrounded by cloisters, and renovations to the South Pavilion as a cafe. A new West Wing was also proposed to accommodate teaching and practice areas, while a new East Wing would contain a 550-seat concert hall. These changes were to be carried out in phases, with 3 phases proposed as the most effecient and cost effective. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings, a magazine, and textual records dating from 1991. The drawings include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and sections. The magazine is a special issue of the Canadian Architect Awards of Excellence, featuring this project, and the textual records present the complete project proposal.

Description:
This project series documents the first scheme and final design of The Design Exchange in Toronto from 1988-1994. The office identified the project numbers as 8801 for the first scheme and 9231 for the final design. Although two project numbers were used, materials for each project cannot be clearly separated. This project consisted of the renovation, restauration and expansion of the old Toronto Stock Exchange building, located at the base of the Ernst Young Tower in the Toronto Dominion Centre. The Design Exchange (D/X) was a new cultural institution, dedicated to the economic and cultural promotion of design in the country through exhibits, lectures, banquets, trade shows and other events. With Shirley Blumberg as the partner-in-charge, the art deco style trading floor was restored as an open event space, with the original Charles Comfort murals retained. In order to create harmony between the art deco building and the neo-modernist renovations, bold, linear architectural elements such as stairs, walls, screens and bridges were reiterated throughout the design. A staircase from the trading floor led to an overlooking bridge and created a connection between the trading floor, trading gallery and resource centre. Other areas of the 40,000 square foot building included an exhibit space, café, member's lounge, retail store, seminar rooms and administrative offices. Coloured planes of cobalt blue, chartreuse and ochre were set against a material palette of red oak, cherry, limestone, glass and stainless steel. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1988-1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include a large amount of sketches. Also included are plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and drawings for custom furnishings. The photographs show the completed interiors of the building.

File documents the unexecuted project for the University Art Museum, Long Beach, California. Material in this file was produced between 1986 and 1988. California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), commissioned Eisenman/Robertson Architects to design an art museum adjacent to the main campus entrance. The 67,500-square-foot building was to comprise four galleries, a black-box theater, an auditorium, a cafe, conference rooms, a library, offices, preparation spaces, and storage vaults. The project, sited on a 23-acre arboretum, included landscaping; terraced sculpture courtyards, botanical gardens, and a two-acre pond. Eisenman linked the northern and southern parts of the arboretum by an elevated public walkway through the museum. Sets of drawings were presented on 8 and 30 April, 2 June, and 5 Aug. In the first design phase Eisenman explores the cartographic figures which form the basis of his artificial excavation when superposed: a series of sketches establishes the analogical relationships which fix the relative scales of the plans and produce the superpositions; another series contextualizes the superposed figures by placing them within the museum site (DR1987:0859:087-090). The second phase concerns the building; the working model shows the building carved out of a square pit, from which spring an oil derrick and a reconstruction of a recreational pier (Rainbow Pier, 1920s) used here as circulatory bridge (DR1987:0859:160). In the third phase the architect systematizes his archeological procedure by using five significant cartographic dates - 1849, 1889, 1949, 1989, 2049 - each corresponding to a specific superposition (see DR1987:0859:274-277). In the fourth phase, Eisenman simplifies the superposition of 2049 to a few iconic colour-coded forms: ranch (green), ranch house (blue), campus site (red), and water forms (river and pond) (gold). Material for the fourth phase includes three relief models, four presentation drawings, and a model (property of the CSULB) (relief models: DR1987:0859:001-003; drawings: DR1987:0859:004-008). Eisenman "inhabits" his artifical archeology by detailed planning of interior spaces, and gives substance to the cartographic traces in a series of sketch sections, perspectives, and working models. Working models reveal how the central "canal" area gradually became the museum's access point (DR1987:0859:484-490); the museum, galleries, offices, and preparation areas are on one side of this deep cut, while the cafeteria and black-box theater are on the other. The upper level was to house offices, meeting rooms, and the library. File contains audiovisual material, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, reference drawings, working drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

Description:
- This album contains mostly design development and presentation drawings - plans, sections and elevations - for three projects: structures for Parc de Clichy, an "entrepôt de vins" with a "guinguette", and a "maison du blanchisseur". Structures proposed for Parc de Clichy include one - or possibly two - washhouses, a sewer, a reservoir and a manège (riding school). There appears to be two alternate designs for the manège and three for the reservoir. The first reservoir design is a simple building with arched entrances and a small balcony (DR1974:0002:009:020 - DR1974:0002:009:025); the second design is more elaborate, consisting of a rectangular building enclosing the reservoir basin and two square two-storey buildings with Ionic columns and quoins (DR1974:0002:009:031 - DR1974:0002:009:035). The first manège design (DR1974:0002:009:011 - DR1974:0002:009:019) consists of an unornamented rectangular building with a central octagonal space. The final proposal for structures at Parc de Clichy in this album (DR1974:0002:009:036 - DR1974:0002:009:049) incorporates both the reservoir and the second design for the manège, one on each side of rue de Lavoir. The reservoir is virtually identical to the first reservoir design, and the manège complements the reservoir in its exterior appearance. Many of the drawings for structures for Parc de Clichy depict the hydraulic systems. Twenty-three drawings for the "entrepôt de vins" include variant designs for site layout and buildings (probably warehouses) and for the adjacent "guinguette" (open air cafe). Parc de Clichy and the "entrepôt de vins" were perhaps at the same location, as indicated by drawings DR1974:0002:009:011, DR1974:0002:009:069 and DR1974:0002:009:078. An unidentified building on site plans for the "entrepôt de vins" is similar in plan and siting to the first manège design for Parc de Clichy. The relationship of the five variant designs for a "maison du blanchisseur" to the other projects in this album is unclear. All of the buildings in the album were intended to be finished in stone or a combination of stone, brick and/or tiles.
