Description:
Les Maisons de la Rue Sherbrooke was both a site-specific installation/construction for Corrid’Art (1976), commissioned by the Programme art et culture, XXIe Olympiade, and a series of drawings and constructed photographs. The installation consisted of the construction of two full-sized facades of 19th century greystone town houses out of rough plywood and pipe scaffolding. The facades were erected in a vacant lot on Rue Sherbrooke, and mirrored the townhouses which still stood on the opposite side of the intersection. The constructed photographs of the same name, and also The Site, Les Maisons, 1976 and The Site Altered, Les Maisons, 1976, depict an intersection in which one side of the street mirrors the other perfectly. By reprinting the photograph, reversed and superimposed on itself, Charney fills a vacant lot with a suggestion of its past. One week after the installation of Les Maisons de la Rue Sherbrooke municipal authorities of the City of Montreal ordered it to be destroyed. Demolition began the night of July 13, 1976.

Description:
This project series documents the Sheff Residence at 105 Glen Road in Toronto from 1997-2001. The office identified the project number as 9727. This project consisted of a large home for architect Gerald Sheff and his wife Shanitha Kachan. The work included the demolition of a single-storey dwelling already on the property to create a roughly 7,900 square foot, mixed-level home. This project investigated multiple schemes for the residence, which looked at different room configurations and placements, different building heights, and different levels of finish for certain rooms. Built overlooking a ravine, the house had a stone veneer exterior with accents of wood siding and large glass windows. The home had a maximum height of two-storeys with a basement and included a swimming pool and backyard deck. This residence won the Ontario Association of Architect's Award of Excellence in 2003. The project is recorded through a model and drawings dating from 1996-2000. The majority of the drawings are sketches, but plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are included. There are also many drawings of furnishings including closets, benches and custom furniture.

Description:
This project series documents the expansion of the Golden Rock Airport in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis (previously West Indies) from 1976-1980. The office identified the project number as 7629. This project consisted of the expansion of the passenger terminal to accommodate larger, international flights in order to increase tourism to the island. The expansion included alterations to the check-in and ticketing areas to improve passenger flow, enlargement of the departure lounge and concession areas, and the enlargement of the arrivals area. The project consisted of two phases of demolition and construction. As of the early 2000s, the airport was renamed the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport. This project was commissioned by Transport Canada Airports and Construction Services for the Canadian International Development Agency. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1984. The drawings contain some French language or bilingual materials. The textual records include correspondence, meeting and site reports, financial records, construction orders, interoffice letters, resource data, construction and detail planning records, contracts, the project proposal and specifications. Box AP018.S1.1976.PR22.013 contains an index to the textual materials, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the Parque de Pedras Salgadas in Pedras Salgadas, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 50/00. The office assigned the date 2002 to this project. The project consisted of extensive work to the spa resort located in Pedras Salgadas Park for owner VMPS - Águas & Turismo, S.A, part of Unicer (now Super Bock Group). The work included the demolition of many buildings, the restauration and alterations of others and the construction of new buildings. Work on the Hotel Avelames, the thermal spa, the public pools and the Casa de Chá were the primary focus of the site for Siza. These four components of the project were divided by the office, with the Hotel Avelames, spa and Casa de Chá arranged together under AP178.S1.2002.PR06.SS1 and the public pools arranged under AP178.S1.2002.PR06.SS2. Architect Luís Rebelo de Andrade also constructed eco-houses and treehouses on the site later on. This project was realized in tandem with a similar project by Siza, the Parque de Vidago (AP178.S1.2002.PR05), also owned by Unicer. For this reason, the materials for both projects are mixed together. A large number of materials for this project can be found in project subseries AP178.S1.2002.PR05.SS1. These files have been identified at the file level in the Parque de Vidago project subseries.

This project series documents the Edifício Zaida Habitação e Comércio in Granada, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 98/90. The office assigned the dates 1998-2006 to this project. The project was divided in three components, each represented in the following project subseries: the Zaida building (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS1), the Caja Rural de Granada (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS2) and the Casa Pátio (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS3). The project, realized with local architect Juan Domingo Santos, redeveloped three ajacent parcels of land that faced the Plaza Puerta Real. This included the demolition of the nineteenth century Zaida Hotel that existed on the site and the incorporation of an existing nineteenth century courtyard style home (Casa Pátio). The project was built in two phases, beginning with the Zaida building in phase 1 and continuing with the Casa Pátio in phase 2. The Zaida building was six-storeys with commerical and office spaces on the first three levels and residential dwellings on the upper three. The two bottom floors of the building's exterior were constructed from grey stone, while the top four storeys were white stucco. The bank branch Caja Rural de Granada was located on the ground level of the building. While the architect sought to save and preserve the Casa Pátio, eventually it had to be reinterpretted and attached to the main volume. It was integrated with the main building using the same white stucco exterior.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and planning for additional projects in North York, Ontario from 1976-1983. The office identified the project number as 7626. The project consisted of a ten storey office building located at 1500 Don Mills Road with approximately 250,000 square feet of space. Owned and commissioned by Marathon Realty, the majority of the building's space was designed for rental. The ground floor of the building was to host retail spaces and a connection to local transit. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I was the construction of this office building and Phase II was the construction of an additional office building and a parking structure on the same property. Under this project number, only Phase I was realized, with the additional buildings receiving their own project numbers from the office later on. The project is recorded through drawings, construction progress photographs, textual records and a mounted work of art dating from 1974-1983. The textual records include correspondence, site reports, tests and inspections, meeting minutes and reports, specifications, tenders documents, detail planning records, change orders, supplementary instructions and financial records. Also included is an article written by John C. Parkin for Canadian Architect on the development of the property, which previously hosted his own offices until their demolition before the start of this project (see box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025).
