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.

DR1983:0859
Description:
The plan of the building in pen and black ink and grey wash over graphite was executed by a draughtsman in Soane's office on the basis of pin-pricks transferring the design from another sheet. Soane's changes to this initial plan concern the addition of saucer domes in the main hall, and recesses in the "Eat. Room", which resulted in a change in the position of the fireplace in "Mr. Rs Room". The front porch was widened, presumably from the Doric version shown by Dorothy Stroud (1984, pl. 150) to one which includes "trelliage", showing a concern for setting this rural building in its landscape. This change, and its reflection in drawings in the Soane Museum (Drawer 4, set 4, Items 14-24) are discussed by Pierre du Prey (1986).

Project
AP164.S1.2003.D2
Description:
The project series documents the two Sociópolis projects for the account of the Instituto Valenciano de Vivienda. The firm identified this project as number 162. The first project was for two communes (2003); a retirement centre and a youth centre. Both communes would have lived together around a shared vegetable garden. Abalos & Herreros worked with the landscaping architect Teresa Galí. The project was not built. The second project was for an apartment tower in Valencia, Spain (2004-2005). It was built by Abalos + Sentkiewicz after the dissolution of Abalos & Herreros in 2008. Documenting the project are conceptual drawings, presentation documents, dummies, project descriptions, correspondence, digital, photographic and reference materials.

AP018.S1.1956.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the Sun Life building on University Avenue in Toronto from 1956-1960. The office identified the project number as 5631. This project consisted of a 215 foot office building with 6 floors of basements, including 4 floors of underground parking, 14 office floors, and 2 mechanical floors. The top floors of the building were smaller in area than the rest. The rectangular building had a glass and aluminum curtain wall and was set back from the sidewalk on three sides to allow for landscaped forecourts. The project is recorded through a mounted photograph of the building's front entrance dating from around 1960.
