Description:
Oud lectured in 1924-1925 in Prague and Brno on 'The Development of Modern Architecture in the Netherlands' where he made contact with contemporary international architects involved in avant-garde artists circles. As a result of his lecture tours, Oud was commissioned in 1928 to design an apartment building for a private client in Brno, Czechoslovakia. Oud designed a building where each floor consisted of a single dwelling with a communal ground floor that featured shared and functional spaces. The servants' dwelling occupied a separate wing and met with the residential dwellings at the communal staircase and lobby (Taverne et al. 2001, 319). Project series includes drawings of floor plans and elevations.

AP018.S1.1968.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the College E building at York University in North York, Ontario from 1968-1969. The office identified the project number as 68007. This project, referred to as College E Academic and Dining Complex, consisted of a three-level building with a basement and mechanical penthouse. This project was built by John B. Parkin Associates, in a joint venture with Gordon S. Adamson Associates and Shore & Moffat and Partners. These three architecture firms formed a joint venture known as UPACE (University Planners Architects And Consulting Engineer). This project was part of a larger master plan by UPACE, which built more than a dozen buildings for the university during this time. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1969. These were a set of construction plans, details, elevations, sections, schedules and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings.

Description:
- This drawing shows the interior of a living room, looking towards a bay window. The title design, executed on the front of the mat below the window, includes a small sketch, apparently for the exterior of the project. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).

CI001.S1.D1
Description:
Hubert Rohault de Fleury studied under Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand at the École polytechnique and with Julien-David Leroy at the École des beaux-arts. The confluence of their respective pedagogies is evident in albums DR1974:0002:012:001-049 and DR1974:0002:013:001-008 where Durand's` "rationalized" methodology of design is applied to Leroy's vocabulary of antiquity(1). Hubert's two albums of student drawings for the École des Beaux-Arts (DR1974:0002:012:001-049 and DR1974:0002:013:001-008) are complimentary. The former contains competition drawings and programmes for the monthly competitions (Concours d'emulation) as well as drawing, prints, and programmes for the 1800 (2e), 1801, and 1802 (1er) Grand Prix competitions, each of which trace the entire process from "Concours d'essai" and "esquisse", up to and including, studies for final renderings. The latter album contains large-scale final renderings for the 1800, 1801, and possibly the 1798 Grand prix competitions. As in Durand's "mecanisme de la composition", Hubert proceeds from the simple to the complex, often utilizing the graph paper or hand drawn grid particular to Durand's design methodology (codified in his book 'Precis des Lecons' 1802). This process is readily apparent in both Hubert's "Concours d'emulation" drawings, and, more completely, in the drawings for the Grand Prix competitions. The studies for Hubert's winning 1802 Grand Prix entry for a'Foire' indicate that he isolated and studied different building types before combining them into the unified complex evident in his final renderings. The original final renderings of the Grand Prix winners were kept by the École des beaux-arts. Album DR1974:0002:012:001-049 contains only the prints of the final renderings. The success of Hubert in the Grand Prix competitions is not surprising. His large wash final renderings for the 1800 and 1801 competitions (DR1974:0002:013:001-008) indicate that the neo-classical simplicity then favoured by the judges at the École des beaux-arts dovetailed with the notions of economy implicit in Durand's functionalist approach to design.

Description:
This project series documents the Central Plaza building at York University in North York, Ontario from 1966-1967. The office identified the project number as 6653. This project consisted of a two-storey building with a basement that was connected to a library, Lecture Hall No. 2 and No. 3, and the humanities building that was under construction at the same time. This project was built by John B. Parkin Associates, in a joint venture with Gordon S. Adamson Associates and Shore & Moffat and Partners. These three architecture firms formed a joint venture known as UPACE (University Planners Architects And Consulting Engineer). This project was part of a larger master plan by UPACE, which built more than a dozen buildings for the university during this time.
