Description:
The portfolio 'Oeuvre de C. Rohault de Fleury', published in 1884 (DR1974:0002:029), is introduced by a succinct 'Notice Biographique', the author of which remains unknown. It provides valuable information on his family background and a narrative description of his major works (including unexecuted projects), illustrated by the accompanying unbound prints. The commentary is particulary informative concerning Charles Rohault de Fleury's work at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, the 1859 opera house project for the Théâtre Imperiale de l'Opera, and his innovative use of iron (reinforced) floors and roof trusses in both his public and domestic projects. Another copy of this portfolio is located in the CCA library. Album DR1974:0002:026:001-038 (1854-1858) contains drawings of architectural ornament by Charles and/or Georges Rohault de Fleury. Some of the drawing are possibly studies of ornament for Charles' architectural projects of the 1850's such as Hôtel Soltykoff, although others appear to be typical student drawings of classical architecture and ornament executed by Georges. Included are twelve drawings of architectural ornament and sculpture submitted by Georges to a newly introduced 'dessin' Prix d'emulation at the École des beaux-arts (see series CI001.S1: Architetural Education).

Synopsis:
Le fonds PGL architectes, 1959 – 1994, témoigne des activités de la firme d’architecture montréalaise, Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc architectes, autant que ses sociétés affiliées et firmes remplaçantes. La majorité du fonds comprend des documents qui représentent 70 projets architecturaux, incluant des projets entrepris à travers le Québec, à Ottawa, à de multiples endroits au Nunavut, ainsi que des projets internationaux. Le fonds met en évidence la participation du PGL dans la construction d'infrastructure coloniale au Nunavik et au Nunavut, y compris les travaux sur des écoles associées avec des foyers fédéraux, qui sont reconnus comme faisant partie du système des pensionnats autochtones du Canada. De plus, le fonds documente l’utilisation des panneaux de fibre de verre modulaires employés par PGL. Pour la plupart, les documents dans ce fonds se composent des dessins, des documents photographiques, et des documents textuels. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The PGL architectes fonds, 1959 - 1994, documents the work and activities of the Montréal-based architecture firm, Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc architectes, and its successor and affiliate companies. The records within this fonds represent 70 architectural projects undertaken by the firm, which include projects throughout Québec, Ottawa, and various locations in Nunavut, as well as some international projects. The fonds offers evidence of PGL’s participation in the construction of colonial infrastructure in Nunavik and Nunavut, including work on schools that are connected to Federal Hostels which are recognised as part of Canada's Indian Residential School system. The fonds also contains records documenting PGL’s use of modular, fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels in construction. The records within this fonds largely consist of drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

Description:
Like his father Hubert, Charles Rohault de Fleury also studied at the École polytechnique with Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand (1820-1821), and at the École des Beaux-Arts (1823-1825), Charles studied under his father and Louis Hippolyte Lebas. The CCA collection contains his printed exercise book from the École polytechnique and an album of drawings of the orders executed at both schools. The printed exercise book (DR1974:0002:001:001-105), primarily dated to 1821, provides an overview of the first year curriculum at the École polytechnique reflecting the emphasis placed on the course in descriptive geometry. The exercises proceed from the simple to the complex; from the analysis of simple shapes to the interpretation of basic architectural elements. Many of the problems have been solved by Charles, and carry the approval seal of his professor. A large engraving included in the album provides a succinct table recording the career paths of graduating students in the various Écoles d'application, a description of the core curriculum, and a historical and chronological outline of the École polytechnique from its inception to 1828. Charles' studies of the architectural orders (DR1974:0002:019:001-033), many of which are copied directly from Charles Normand's 'Nouveau parallele des ordres d'architecture...,' demonstrate the continued application of Durand's methodology applied to typical Beaux-Arts studies. The orders executed at the École polytechnique are pared down to their essential form and porticos are abstracted and grouped according to their tetrastyle, hexastyle, or octastyle configurations, whereas the orders completed at the École des beaux-arts are simplified, but still reflect the traditional mimetic interpretation of classical antiquity, with its fidelity to mouldings and details. The conspicous abscence of the composite order and the addition of the 'Dorique Romain and Moderne', attest to the continued influence of Durand's ''Precis'. The information regarding George's architectural career is limited to twelve drawings for architectural ornament and sculpture (1858-1859) submitted to a newly introduced, and obligatory, 'dessin' Concours d'emulation at the École des beaux-arts (1).

Description:
- This album contains prints and drawings - primarily design development and presentation drawings - mainly for projects for ideal hospitals and for the unexecuted redevelopment of the École de médecine and the surrounding area in Paris by Hubert Rohault de Fleury. Projects for ideal hospitals include: two block plans for hospitals for 400 patients on the site of Hôtel-Dieu (DR1974:0002:008:002 - DR1974:0002:008:003); nine site plans coloured with wash for hospitals for varying numbers of patients, eight of which are for a site near the barrière de Monceau (DR1974:0002:008:010 - DR1974:0002:008:014 and DR1974:0002:008:017 - DR1974:0002:008:020); five block plans for hospitals with no site indicated (DR1974:0002:008:004 - DR1974:0002:008:008); and plans, sections and elevations, most coloured with wash or watercolour, for a more developed project for an ideal hospital for 1000 to 1200 patients with no site indicated (DR1974:0002:008:022 - DR1974:0002:008:025, DR1974:0002:008:027 - DR1974:0002:008:028). The five other drawings for hospitals included in this album are apparently related to the nine site plans (DR1974:0002:008:015, DR1974:0002:008:016, DR1974:0002:008:021, DR1974:0002:008:029, and DR1974:0002:008:030). Plans, elevations and sections for the redevelopment of the area surrounding the École de médecine include the addition of a second amphitheatre to the École de médecine, an addition to the Clinique de l'École de médecine, the alteration of the École de mosaïque for use as a salle de dissection, and alterations to the École royale gratuite de dessin (DR1974:0002:008:031 - DR1974:0002:008:064). Also included are several designs for a classically-inspired fountain to be located at the entrance to the Clinique de l'École de médecine (DR1974:0002:008:042 - DR1974:0002:008:049), and drawings for the Académie de médecine, an institution which was probably housed at the École de médecine during this period (DR1974:0002:008:065 - DR1974:0002:008:068). The album includes record drawings of medical buildings by other architects: a presentation drawing of the Albergo dei poveri in Palermo, designed by Orazio Foretto Palermitano; tracings from drawings of a project for Hôtel-Dieu in Paris, designed by Charles-François Viel de Saint-Maux; the 1775 Grand Prix project for an École de médecine designed by Paul Guillaume Lemoine; prints of the the Hospice de la charité in Lyon, designed by Jean Pollet, and two hospital projects in Dijon designed by Paul P. Petit (DR1974:0002:008:069 - DR1974:0002:008:077).

Description:
The three portfolios of "Croquis", originally attributed to Hubert Rohault de Fleury, but probably also including work by Charles, are particularly informative of the range of artistic and architectural interests of these architects. While some of the drawings in these portfolios may be travel sketches or based on travel sketches (Charles is known to have visited some of the locations depicted (1)), the majority are probably copied or adapted from books and prints. In some cases, these sources have been identified. The stylistic range of the drawings is eclectic; in addition to the expected Classical material, Gothic, Romanesque, Islamic, Exotic Revival (namely Etruscan and Egyptian), Renaissance and Baroque periods and styles as well as contemporary 19th century architecture are all represented. The subject matter is equally varied. DR1974:0002:032:001-066, two portfolios, includes arabesque ornament (some from Palazzo del Te and Palazzo Ducal in Mantua (2)), Islamic ornament motifs, tile patterns, Sicilian architectural subjects - mainly church interiors, and stonework and woodwork from Romanesque and Gothic structures . DR1974:0002:031:001-055, three portfolios, contains drawings of classical figures, Christian imagery and architectural sculpture from antique, medieval [?] and 19th century sources, sculpture from the 16th century sepulchral monument of Maximillian I, Italian Classical structures and contemporary classically-inspired subject matter including a number of Parisian fountains and monuments, and several English townhouses. DR1974:0002:030:001-065, four portfolios, includes drawings of Classical, Gothic and Exotic Revival buildings and interiors as well as a number of drawings of non-architectural subject matter including military subjects - fortification, armaments, soldiers, and revolutionary battle scenes - and topographic views. A folder of Italian views and buildings in this portfolio may have been intended for publication. The designs for interiors, Empire furniture, garden structures and several of the buildings are probably original designs by Hubert. (1) A description of Charles' travels based on his sketchbooks held by the Académie d'architecture is found in Académie d'architecture, 'Catalogue des collection' (Paris: Académie d'architecture, 1988) 35-36 and 230-241. (2) These drawings were copied from Wilhelm Zahn, 'Gemalte Ornamente von Julio Romano' (s.l., s.n, ca. 1833)., The three portfolios of "Croquis" were originally attributed to Hubert Rohault de Fleury, but probably also including work by Charles. The source and purpose of many of these drawings is unclear; some may be record drawings and travel sketches or based on travel sketches, but the majority are probably copied or adapted from books and prints. The stylistic range and subject matter of the drawings is broad and eclectic: arabesques, Islamic ornament, stonework and woodwork from Romanesque and Gothic structures (DR1974:0002:032:001-066); classical and Christian imagery, architectural sculpture from antique, medieval [?] and 19th century sources, Italian Classical structures, nineteenth century classically-inspired subject matter (DR1974:0002:031:001-055); non-architectural subject matter including military subjects, topographic views, and Italian views and buildings, possibly intended for publication (DR1974:0002:030:001-065). Portfolio, DR1974:0002:030:001-065 also includes interiors, Empire furniture, garden structures and Classical, Gothic and Exotic Revival buildings, some of which are probably original designs by Hubert Rohault de Fleury.

While some of the drawings in these portfolios may be travel sketches or based on travel sketches (Charles is known to have visited some of the locations depicted (1)), the majority are probably copied or adapted from books and prints. In some cases, these sources have been identified. The stylistic range of the drawings is eclectic; in addition to the expected Classical material, Gothic, Romanesque, Islamic, Exotic Revival (namely Etruscan and Egyptian), Renaissance and Baroque periods and styles as well as contemporary 19th century architecture are all represented. The subject matter is equally varied. DR1974:0002:032:001-066, two portfolios, includes arabesque ornament (some from Palazzo del Te and Palazzo Ducal in Mantua (2)), Islamic ornament motifs, tile patterns, Sicilian architectural subjects - mainly church interiors, and stonework and woodwork from Romanesque and Gothic structures . DR1974:0002:031:001-055, three portfolios, contains drawings of classical figures, Christian imagery and architectural sculpture from antique, medieval [?] and 19th century sources, sculpture from the 16th century sepulchral monument of Maximillian I, Italian Classical structures and contemporary classically-inspired subject matter including a number of Parisian fountains and monuments, and several English townhouses. DR1974:0002:030:001-065, four portfolios, includes drawings of Classical, Gothic and Exotic Revival buildings and interiors as well as a number of drawings of non-architectural subject matter including military subjects - fortification, armaments, soldiers, and revolutionary battle scenes - and topographic views. A folder of Italian views and buildings in this portfolio may have been intended for publication. The designs for interiors, Empire furniture, garden structures and several of the buildings are probably original designs by Hubert. (1) A description of Charles' travels based on his sketchbooks held by the Académie d'architecture is found in Académie d'architecture, 'Catalogue des collection' (Paris: Académie d'architecture, 1988) 35-36 and 230-241. (2) These drawings were copied from Wilhelm Zahn, 'Gemalte Ornamente von Julio Romano' (s.l., s.n, ca. 1833)., The three portfolios of "Croquis" were originally attributed to Hubert Rohault de Fleury, but probably also including work by Charles. The source and purpose of many of these drawings is unclear; some may be record drawings and travel sketches or based on travel sketches, but the majority are probably copied or adapted from books and prints. The stylistic range and subject matter of the drawings is broad and eclectic: arabesques, Islamic ornament, stonework and woodwork from Romanesque and Gothic structures (DR1974:0002:032:001-066); classical and Christian imagery, architectural sculpture from antique, medieval [?] and 19th century sources, Italian Classical structures, nineteenth century classically-inspired subject matter (DR1974:0002:031:001-055); non-architectural subject matter including military subjects, topographic views, and Italian views and buildings, possibly intended for publication (DR1974:0002:030:001-065). Portfolio, DR1974:0002:030:001-065 also includes interiors, Empire furniture, garden structures and Classical, Gothic and Exotic Revival buildings, some of which are probably original designs by Hubert Rohault de Fleury.
