Project
AP018.S1.1973.PR14
Description:
This project series documents a site investigation for an office for J. Douglas Crashley in downtown Toronto from 1973-1975. The project was identified as number 7314. During this time, J. Douglas Crashley, a prominent Toronto entrepreneur, sought to develop a combined high-rise, low-rise office building in downtown Toronto. This project investigated possible sites in the CN Tower area to build that office tower. The project often refers to the Walker House, which was a 19th century hotel on the corner of York and Front Streets that developers hoped to demolish. This site, and sites next to the Toronto Convention Centre and CN Tower were also investigated. The proposed office building ranged from 25 to 40 storeys, with three levels of underground parking. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1973-1975. The drawings are mostly originals that show typical floor plans, sections, elevations and site plans, while the textual records include correspondence, a meeting report and drawing transmittals.

AP178.S1.2003.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the Recupero del Palazzo Donnaregina / Museu de Arte Contemporâneo in Napoli, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 55/00. The office assigned the date 2003 for this project. The Palazzo Donnaregina was built during the 19th century and served multiple functions during his history, including a bank and a school of administration. In 2001, the building was abandoned after a flood. In 2005, the Campania Regional Government bought the building and leased it to the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporane. Àlvaro Siza and the Studio DAZ-Dumontet Antonini Zaske were selected to renovate and repurpose the builsing into a contemporary art museum. The museum included exhibition halls, a library, a bookshop, and a mediatheque. The project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings, plans, and details. Textual material includes project documentation, catalogs from suppliers, and correspondence. Photographic material documents Siza's visits, project site, and construction work.
