Project
Maison Coloniale
AP066.S2.D19
Description:
Le dossier documente le projet de construction de la Maison Coloniale, une habitation associée à un atelier d'architecture et un hall d'exposition, situé au 4333 avenue Coloniale, à Montréal, Québec. Les matériaux utilisés pour réaliser cette construction sont le béton armé, l'acier et le bois. Le budget alloué pour ce projet était de 300 000$ et la superficie est de 340 mètres carrés. Aussi, le projet s'est mérité le Prix d'architecture du Gouverneur général du Canada. Le dossier contient des dessins, des reprographies, des photographies, des documents textuels, des maquettes et un négatif. Description du projet par l'architecte: "En concevant la Maison Coloniale, entre autres choses qui s'y trouvent inscrites, j'ai pensé à l'état des métiers. La solidarité qui nous lie est tellement ténue, les savoir-faire se déplacent, les langages s'autonomisent. Ici la structure de béton n'aura pour but structural que de survivre à sa peine : le squelette est dehors, qu'est-ce que cela veut nous dire? Partout la division, la séparation des éléments. La juxtaposition, la superposition et la répétition forment un langage dans le langage. Tout y est contact de points et de surface, d'appuis et d'ancrages. Le squelette est dehors, le corps est dedans. Qu'est-ce que cela veut nous dire? La Maison nous dit la nature de notre côtoiement. Elle nous rappelle nos liens possibles et nous apprend qu'à force de séparation, tout s'unit. Elle nous indique la distance qu'il nous reste à franchir pour se toucher et s'émouvoir. Elle est comme vous et moi, un peu résistante et prête à tout donner. Elle nous dit la convivialité et nous rappelle nos moyens d'humains. Elle nous rappelle que c'est nous qui l'avons faite!"

Project
Quinta da Bela Flor, Lisboa
CD034.S1.1976.PR01
Description:
This project series contains one reproduction of a photograph displayed in the exhibit to document the Quinta da Bela Flor neighbourhood, in Lisbon, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: Artur Rosa's project in the neighbourhood grew out of a shanty town, built on a difficult site, dating back to the 19th century, with reports of families living in hillside caves that today flank the entrance to a nearby highway. The process was based on voluntary work, and its ending presented a huge disappointment to the local brigade. In 1976 and 1977, Artur Rosa, also a practicing artist, produced three works that reflected on SAAL, its failure and the subsequent sense of persecution felt by many brigade leaders. The decision not to present the project but rather the artistic interventions aims at revealing the performative nature of the process, its poetic intensity and the way it related to its protagonists. In 1977 the architect presented a performance at the Fine Arts Society in Lisbon in which he closed the documentation of the project in a darkened room. The following year, he presented a structure with the documentation closed inside, and finally he used the project drawings in a collage with photographs on the occasion of the first public tap in Quinta da Bela-Flor. Those poetic artistic interventions are his form of publicly mourning the end of the SAAL process. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Artur Rosa worked for SAAL/Lisbon and Central South with Etelvina José, Hélio Oliveira, José Luís Teles Rebolo, José Miguel Fonseca, Luís Pereira, Manuel Coutinho Raposo, Maria Fernanda Carvalho, Maria Isabel Rodrigues Lobo, Nuno Blanco Bártolo, Nuno Martins and the residents' association Cooperativa de Habitação Económica Bela Flor, that was founded on February 13th, 1976. The project included 288 dwellings. The operation began in September 1976, with a construction date in December 1976. This project series contains a reproduction of a photograph of a model. The original photograph was produced around 1976 and was reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

Project records from Mr. Koz
AP168.S2
Description:
The Project records from Mr. Koz series, 1996, consists of records produced by Seiichi Kozu of Studio KOZ, a local architect who managed the physical construction and installation of Denari’s show “Interrupted Projections” at Gallery MA in Tokyo, Japan. The series consists of 20 drawings and/or reprographic copies, 19 layouts, 16 slides, and a small amount of promotional material including three posters and one promotional pamphlet. Records date from 1996. For Interrupted Projections, in collaboration with Tokyo-based architect Seiichi Kozu (Mr. Koz) of Studio KOZ, Denari used traditional construction techniques to build a structure inside the gallery space that blended floor, wall and ceiling into a continuous curved surface. This surface displayed printed logos for fictional corporations, designed specifically for the exhibition. The majority of drawings and reprographic copies in the series relate to the construction of the principal architectural installation built on the third floor of Gallery MA. This includes plans and sections for the third floor, as well as working drawings that detail specifications such as dimensions, materials, layouts, and assembly techniques. The series also contains a set of five drawings that include first and second floor plans and sections of Gallery MA. The majority of writing on the drawings is Japanese, aside from one reprographic copy with third floor plans and sections that contains notes in English about elements of the installation such as lighting and the placement and size of fictional company logos. Photographic materials in the series comprise 16 slides that contain images of the built installation, as well as images of the exhibition open to the public, including slides of visitors interacting with the NaviCam. The series also includes printed layouts of the 3D digital renderings for the Interrupted Projections model alongside a pantone sheet, which were used as a reference during the construction process. Promotional material in the series includes three small posters for the exhibition, as well as a brochure that highlights selected works from the show.

AP056.S1.1987.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Di Stefano residence located at 98 Tetherwood Boulevard in London, Ontario from 1987-1990. The office identified the project number as 8720. This project consisted of a V shaped house with a red brick masonry veneer and cedar shingles that was about 3300 square feet in size. From above, the two arms of the V appeared almost as separate structures, connected only at the front of the home by an entrance hall. However, the front facade of the home joined the two arms fluidly using a curved wall that matched the round street court in front of the home. One arm of the house was two storeys with a garage and kitchen on the ground floor and bedrooms on the second. This arm was shorter than the other but opened onto a patio in the backyard. The other arm contained the master bedroom and great hall on the ground floor and in place of a second storey, had a sloped roof with four chimneys. There was also a basement for storage, with future plans for a rec room and workshop. Several design schemes were investigated for this home, with variations on the floor plan layout, the shape of the house, the number of storeys, and the positioning of the garage and patio. The project is recorded through original drawings used for design and construction which date from 1987-1990. The large part of the drawings consist of sketches, plans, elevations, sections, details, isometrics and perspectives.
