AP207.S1.2017.PR01
Description:
The project series documents the installation "Levitazione" designed by Pettena and presented at the Fattoria Montellori in Fucecchio near Florence, in 2017. The installation used the existing wooden roof structure of the exhibition space to hang wood beams from it giving the impression of tree trunks with roots. For Pettena, the installation is "a story telling about the wish for a synthesis in the relationship between nature and artifice as well as between emotion and reason, between project strategies and laws of nature." [1] The project series contains sketches, drawings and two photographs of the installation.

Project
AP018.S1.1972.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the offices of law firm Davies, Ward and Beck in Toronto from 1972-1973. The office identified the project number as 7205. This project consisted of the design of the 47th floor of Commerce Court, some of which was to be used by the law firm, while the rest would be rented to subtenants. This was the first in a series of projects for this office, with several changes to occur in the subsequent decade. The planning for these future projects was already underway when this one began. This original project included 25 offices for lawyers, with the partners occupying corner offices, board and conference rooms, secretary and student offices, a library, a lunch room, a switchboard room and other work areas. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1971-1976. The drawings are mostly reprographic copies that include plans, details and mechanical and electrical drawings. The textual materials include correspondence, certificates of payment, conference reports and change orders. Box AP018.S1.1972.PR05.003 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
