Description:
This project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's post-occupancy study for Aranya Township, India, which was a newly development township completed in 1988 near Indore. Minimum Cost Housing Group initially work on the design of a plot of the township, which was the first one to be built and served as an alternative model to the whole township. The masterplan for the township was created by architect Balkrishna Doshi and the Vastu-Shilpa Foundation in 1981. The other plots started to be planned by and built in 1989. The Minimum Cost Housing Group then returned to Aranya to undertake the post-occupancy survey of the whole site and students from the group kept studying the site up to 2018. The material for this file was produced between 1984 and 2012. The project series contains slides, study drawings of the township and a publication on the post-occupancy study by the McGill group.

Description:
This series documents Pierre du Prey's research and writing on the Ockham Park album held in the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture. The album consists of nineteen folios of drawings and manuscripts devoted to proposed alterations to the Jacobean house, Ockham Park, in Surrey, England. The house, built circa 1638, was altered by architect Nicholas Hawksmoor between 1729 and 1730. Du Prey originally began this research in 1979-early 1980s for a publication project. He returned to this research in 2016 on the occasion of Phyllis Lambert's 90th birthday. Pierre du Prey produced a book from this research which he gave to Lambert for her birthday. The series contains materials from Pierre du Prey's early research on the album from 1979 to 1985, as well as the additional research and writing he produced in 2016. Also included are photographic reproductions of drawings and manuscripts in the Ockham Park album, correspondence, notes and manuscript for du Prey's catalogue.

AP206.S1.1983.PR03
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for an office block and residences called Electra Complex in Meerut, India around 1983. The competition entry proposed a mid-rise office block with decks wrapping the building's exterior, which would connect via ramp to the neighbouring residential block. Both building types would feature shops, walkways and parking at their ground level. The proposal also included the design of a children's park next to the residential complex. This project is recorded through drawings, including a large number of reprographic copies, textual records and a photograph and negatives dating from around 1983. The drawings consist of plans, elevations, sections and perspectives, while the textual records consist of the project proposal report with the accompanying photo and drawings. The negatives are of the architects with presentation materials and reproduced drawings. It does not appear that this project was ever built.

Description:
The Netherlands Congress Centre owed its genesis to architect-town planner, W.M. Dudok, who suggested creating a cultural centre for international conferences. In 1956 an ad hoc committee proposed the creation of a congress centre and invited Oud, in 1956, to design a centre that would incorporate a 3000 seat conference hall as well as other rooms for functions and events. Oud created a detailed design in 1958 that featured a seventeen-storey tower with hotel rooms. Oud amended his plans somewhat, creating an oval-shaped conference hall. In 1960 Oud further revised his design to reduce the main hall seating to 1500, and also designated it for use of theatrical events. Oud died in 1963 before the completion of construction. He was replaced by his son, Hans Oud, until the congress centre was erected in 1969 (Taverne et al. 2001, 544-546). Project series includes plans for the Congress Hall Complex.

Description:
This project series documents a land use study for the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1974. The project number assigned by the office is unknown. During this time, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, were commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of a study to determine, amongst other things, where to place future hangars for Air Canada, near the airline's existing hangars. The project also proposed locations for passenger and cargo terminals and cargo terminals, parking, and air cargo areas, with future expansions in mind. This study included both short term and long term planning of the airport land. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1973-1974, which include sketches and reprographic copies of site plans.
