PH1984:0004
Description:
- The competition drawing by Hannes Meyer and Hans Wittwer for the League of Nations Building in Geneva (DR1984:0705) is similar to the competition drawing shown in photograph PH1984:0004. Both objects show axonometric representations for the building. The photograph lacks the toboggan-like element within the tower and the illegible inscription at the lower right is apparently different from the illegible inscription at the lower right of the drawing.

Primarily theoretical and visionary in intent, this group includes copies of drawings and texts by Hans Scharoun (pseusonym Hannes) that were circulated in Die gläserne Kette.

Pierlucio Pellissier fonds
AP215
Synopsis:
Le fonds Pierlucio Pellissier, 1946-2020, documente les projets de conservation et de commissariat entrepris par Pierlucio Pellissier, architecte, conservateur et professeur, entre 1996 et 2003. Le fonds comprend des documents textuels et photographiques touchant à trois projets distincts : les restaurations de deux églises décorées par l’architecte et artiste Guido Nincheri (1885-1973), qui en assura également le design architectural, soit Sainte-Amélie à Baie-Comeau, Québec (1938-1939) et Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense, Montréal (1919), et le commissariat d’une exposition sur l’œuvre de Guido Nincheri tenue à Montréal en 2001. Le travail de conservation et de restauration des fresques de Nincheri, qui ornent les deux églises, forme la plus grande partie de la documentation, mettant en lumière la spécificité du médium et les problématiques de la conservation d’œuvres d’art à portée publique.

Maison de Verre (1965, 1969)
AP197.S1.SS1
Description:
Located on 31 Rue St Guillaume in Paris, France, Maison de Verre was designed between 1928 and 1931 by furniture designer and architect Pierre Chareau, architect Bernard Bijvoet, and metal craftsman Louis Dalbet. Although the home was built, no original drawings exist for this project. In 1965, as Hodder Fellow at Princeton University, Kenneth Frampton along with Robert Vickery and Michael Carapetian measured the home and its details. Originally, their intention was that this research lead to a book project, but they later published their work as an article entitled "Maison de Verre" in a 1969 issue of Perspecta. This subseries includes measurement sketches and sixteen axonometric representations on vellum that were produced from this research. Photographs document Maison de Verre and provide various interior and exterior views of the house. Photographs by Michael Carapetian, published in the Perspecta article, “Maison de Verre (1969),” are also included in this subseries. Textual documentation includes drafts of the publication on Maison de Verre, as well as notes, correspondence, and various research files on Paul Nelson, Pierre Chareau, and Maison de Verre.

Series
Architectural projects
AP018.S1
Description:
The Architectural Projects series, 1945-1986, is the largest series in the fonds and documents the projects worked on by Parkin’s two firms throughout his career. These projects include built work, urban planning, proposals, competitions and feasibility studies. The majority of the projects were based in Toronto and the surrounding area, but projects from across Canada and some international projects in the Caribbean, Middle East, and Northern Africa are also included. These individual projects were identified and separated based on distinct project numbers assigned by the creating offices. The general numbering rule at the offices was two digits to represent the year, followed by two or three digits to represent the consecutive project number for that year (YY###). For instance the 7th project taken on in the year 1980 would be assigned the project number 8007. This chronological ordering has been respected in the arrangement of this series. These projects are recorded primarily through textual records and drawings, but some photographs, paintings, artefacts and one book are also included in this series. The amount of drawings and textual materials for the projects vary greatly. Materials for projects before 1971, from the firm John B. Parkin Associates, are very sparse, sometimes with only a few files or drawings representing a project. Materials after 1971, from the firm Parkin Architects Planners, are much more complete and often contain drawings from initial sketches to finished construction work. Among these drawings are plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives, and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings. Textual records for these projects typically include correspondence, meeting minutes, specifications, site reports, consultancy files and other construction documentation. The photographic materials in this series often show construction progress and completed work. Also present are presentation panels with mounted drawings, photographs and paintings for some projects. The artefacts typically consist of material samples for construction. The textual records for projects are almost always in English, but some drawings are in French or are bilingual for projects commissioned by the Government of Canada. Although John C. Parkin is the creator of this series, the partners at his firms and other employees played a significant role as creators of the contents. Especially in the material from Parkin Architects Planners, the names of his partners such as J.B. Mar, P.H. Warren, D.L. Wilson, and L. Payne are often marked as authors of the materials.

Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California: Conceptual drawing, possibly for the parish house
DR1987:0663
Description:
- This drawing is possibly a conceptual drawing for Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California. The area enclosed by the plan is similar to that of the sketch plan for the parish house and cloister on drawing DR1987:0667. If this drawing is for the parish house, then the road at the upper centre of the drawing would be an access road off Narcissa Drive, the northern boundary of the site, while the curve at the bottom would represent Palos Verdes Drive South.

Synopsis:
The Lionel March fonds, circa 1957-2017, documents the work and activities of architect and professor Lionel March. The records within this fonds illustrate March’s architectural career, representing five professional and personal building projects, including the 1964 Whitehall plan; as well as his academic career in research and teaching, spanning England and North America, most notably March’s work with the Centre for Land Use and Built Form Studies (now the Martin Centre) and his research at UCLA. The fonds is largely composed of books from March’s library, textual records, slides and photographs, and drawings.
