Description:
This project series documents interior design work for Creative Copy and Design in Toronto in 1992. The office identified the project number as 9203. This project consisted of interiors for the high resolution imaging company, Creative Copy and Design, located on the ground floor of King James Place at 145 King Street East. The office was made up of an unfinished ground floor and existing mezzanine at the back, totalling 2630 square feet. The ground floor interiors consisted mainly of the reception area, which was visible from the sidewalk through the office's glass storefront. The reception area was comprised of two long, boomerang-shaped counters, and one rectangular counter behind them, made of wood with plastic laminate tops. The wood was stained to match the corrugated wood wall that ran the length of the room, directly behind the three counters. A large, ellipse-shaped lighting fixture made from fibre glass panels and steel stud framing was a prominent feature above the reception area. Bathrooms and a processing area were located behind the wall, as well as a stair case leading to the mezzanine, which contained work stations and an additional processing area. The program also included electrical and mechanical installation. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1992. The drawings consist of sketches, a floor plan, and a set of construction drawings with specifications and schedules. The photographs show the completed project.

The project series documents the installation "Brano di Città" presented at the Galleria Enrico Fornello, in Prato, in 2009. The installation consists of covering the walls and the floor of an entire gallery space with branches and dry leaves. "The material is predominant here, and “becomes” architecture. It is a piece of city, or a ghost of it, where nature turns into architecture, or a work of architecture structures itself, describes itself with natural materials."

Description:
The Architectural projects series, 1957-2007, records 82 architectural projects of Aditya Prakash throughout his career as an architect in Chandigarh, India. Most of these projects were completed with his daughter, Chetna Prakash, through his private practice, Arcon Architects, from 1982-2007. These projects include private residences, housing complexes, university campuses, schools, factories, theatres, sport and yoga centres, offices and furniture, among others. The projects include built work, competition entries and proposals, though it is not always clear which projects were realized. While many projects were located in Chandigarh, the series documents projects across northern India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The projects in this series were identified based on their unique locations and dates. Some projects, located at the same site, consisted of multiple buildings and were designed and/or constructed over long periods of time. The materials for projects like this are described together in one project series, instead of being separated out by building or time period. These projects are recorded largely through original drawings, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, axonometric views and working drawings. However, materials for each project are sparse, often consisting of only 1-10 drawings. Textual records and photographs are also included in the materials for a few projects. The photographs show completed work, while the textual records primarily consist of client correspondence.

Description:
- This album contains plans, elevations and sections as well as written documents - the contract, specifications, work logs, letters and financial records - for the Hippodrome national, Paris. Most of the drawings and documents date from 1845, when the Hippodrome national was constructed, including the contract and contract drawings (DR1974:0002:017:025 and DR1974:0002:017:027 - DR1974:0002:017:031), a description and cost estimate, structural drawings, and plans, sections and elevations, some coloured, showing the various elements of the design. The construction of the building is documented by two work logs, one of which is probably a draft (work log: DR1974:0002:017:017:001-027; draft work log: DR1974:0002:017:044:001-038). The building was designed in the Islamic Revival style. It was constructed primarily of painted canvas stretched on frames and attached to the structural framework (Dupavillion, 81). Several preliminary drawings for the Hippodrome national are included: an elevation and plan dated 1844 and a pencil rendering of an elaborate Moorish façade, probably alternate designs (DR1974:0002:017:004, DR1974:0002:017:026, and DR1974:0002:017:060), and a watercolour perspective view, plan and section (DR1974:0002:017:001 - DR1974:0002:017:003), possibly for a different site, dated February 1845. Four drawings dated February 1846 are for additions to the hippodrome, including a portico on the front of the princes' pavilion, and a pedestrian bridge over the service court entrance (DR1974:0002:017:011, DR1974:0002:017:012, DR1974:0002:017:016 and DR1974:0002:017:037). Plan DR1974:0002:017:015 is probably also related to these additions. It has not been determined if these additions were carried out. Also included are three record drawings of the Circus of Maxentius and the hippodrome at Villa Borghese in Rome; a copy of "L'Entr'acte" containing an article on the proposed construction of a hippodrome (cirque) in Paris; and two letters requesting information on the Hippodrome national.

The construction of the building is documented by two work logs, one of which is probably a draft (work log: DR1974:0002:017:017:001-027; draft work log: DR1974:0002:017:044:001-038). The building was designed in the Islamic Revival style. It was constructed primarily of painted canvas stretched on frames and attached to the structural framework (Dupavillion, 81). Several preliminary drawings for the Hippodrome national are included: an elevation and plan dated 1844 and a pencil rendering of an elaborate Moorish façade, probably alternate designs (DR1974:0002:017:004, DR1974:0002:017:026, and DR1974:0002:017:060), and a watercolour perspective view, plan and section (DR1974:0002:017:001 - DR1974:0002:017:003), possibly for a different site, dated February 1845. Four drawings dated February 1846 are for additions to the hippodrome, including a portico on the front of the princes' pavilion, and a pedestrian bridge over the service court entrance (DR1974:0002:017:011, DR1974:0002:017:012, DR1974:0002:017:016 and DR1974:0002:017:037). Plan DR1974:0002:017:015 is probably also related to these additions. It has not been determined if these additions were carried out. Also included are three record drawings of the Circus of Maxentius and the hippodrome at Villa Borghese in Rome; a copy of "L'Entr'acte" containing an article on the proposed construction of a hippodrome (cirque) in Paris; and two letters requesting information on the Hippodrome national.

Description:
- This album contains plans, elevations and sections as well as written documents - the contract, specifications, work logs, letters and financial records - for the Hippodrome national, Paris. Most of the drawings and documents date from 1845, when the Hippodrome national was constructed, including the contract and contract drawings (DR1974:0002:017:025 and DR1974:0002:017:027 - DR1974:0002:017:031), a description and cost estimate, structural drawings, and plans, sections and elevations, some coloured, showing the various elements of the design. The construction of the building is documented by two work logs, one of which is probably a draft (work log: DR1974:0002:017:017:001-027; draft work log: DR1974:0002:017:044:001-038).
