Project
AP018.S1.1966.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the Central Plaza building at York University in North York, Ontario from 1966-1967. The office identified the project number as 6653. This project consisted of a two-storey building with a basement that was connected to a library, Lecture Hall No. 2 and No. 3, and the humanities building that was under construction at the same time. This project was built by John B. Parkin Associates, in a joint venture with Gordon S. Adamson Associates and Shore & Moffat and Partners. These three architecture firms formed a joint venture known as UPACE (University Planners Architects And Consulting Engineer). This project was part of a larger master plan by UPACE, which built more than a dozen buildings for the university during this time. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1967. These were a set of construction plans, details, elevations, sections, schedules and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings.

AP198.S1
Description:
Series consists of records documenting two of Kivi Sotamaa and OCEAN North’s projects: the Open Arena – Töölö Football Stadium and the Terra Cultura – Jyväskylä Music and Art Centre. Both projects were international architectural competitions worked on concurrently in 1997. The collaborative process around these projects allowed exploring design methods through the usage of digital tools. Records, for the most part, consist of digital files and show the design process for both projects. In discussions with Greg Lynn, Johan Bettum and Kivi Sotamaa have expressed that they had broached Töölö as a landscape and Jyväskylä as a cloud. Altogether, this vision is visible in the digital drawings for both projects, although more predominantly in the Jyväskylä records which also includes detailed plans. For both projects, digital drawings and models were created using CAD software (Microstation, form*Z, 3D Studio). Many drawings were saved exclusively as raster or vector images. Project records include physical drawings. For Töölö, drawings show mainly the work on the shape of the structure and include printouts from CAD drawings. These are partial plans and sections. The records for Jyväskylä include sections and plans of the different levels of the building as well as an annotated sketch. Textual records in Series 2 provide more context for the design process and the creation and use of methodologies such as particle streaming, used in the design process for Jyväskylä, and Channelling Systems, used in the design process for Töölö.

Project
AP178.S1.1993.PR07
Description:
This project series documents the Faculdade de Ciências da Informação in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 41/90. The office assigned the date 1993 to this project. The Faculty is located on the north campus of the University of Santiago de Compostela, on the Burgo das Nacións Avenue. The building is divided in two sections, one with three stories and the other with two stories. The upper floor is for nine amphitheater classrooms and the lower floors are for the media laboratories and studios. The building also includes an atrium, a library, studios, and media laboratories. The project was realized and is now named the Facultad de Ciencias de la Comunicación. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, working drawings, structural drawings, technical drawings, and mechanical drawings. Textual material includes project documentation and correspondence. Photographic material documents the models, construction work, the built project, and furniture.
