São Victor, Porto
CD034.S1.1974.PR04
Description:
This project series contains reproductions of photographs, drawings and panels displayed in the exhibit to document the São Victor neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the group of 12 houses built for the São Victor neighbourhood was one of SAAL's most important operations, despite the fact that only a small part of the project was carried out. Maintaining the urban fabric of the 'ilhas' (islands) and their internal community ties, the São Victor design combined the responsiveness inherent in the participatory nature of the project with architectural and technical precision. An important case study, it led Álvaro Siza Vieira, the project architect, being invited to design projects in Berlin and The Hague in the following decade. In many aspects, São Victor represents an ethically and politically-minded architectural practice, with a stress on understanding the link between being responsive to the voice of the people and the permanence of architectural design. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Álvaro Siza worked for SAAL/North with Adalberto Dias, Domingos Tavares, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Francisco Guedes, Graça Nieto, Manuel Borges, Manuela Sambade, Paula Cabral and the residents' association S. Victor, that was founded on April 14th, 1975. The first phase of the project included 32 dwellings and the second, 20 dwellings. The operation began in November 1974, with a construction date in October 1975. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, exhibition panels and photographs. The original material was produced around 1974-1975 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

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.

Ice House II (1972)
AP207.S1.1972.PR01
Description:
The project series documents "Ice House II" a project which consisted of freezing a small house in suburban Minneapolis, by pouring water into a wooden mold surrounding the house and letting the water freeze to create a block of ice. "If the addition of material then leads, paradoxically, to the disappearence of the 'architectural' object, this subtraction only highlights the serial repetitiveness of the dwellings in American suburbia." [1] It is unclear if this project was ever performed. The project series contains photographs of the frozen house, photographic reproductions of aerial views and plans of the neighbourhood for the selection of the house, sketches and a perspective drawing.

Description:
Oud designed a project for the Leiderdorp Dorpsbelanghousing association, an organization providing affordable housing for low-income workers. Oud's designs were positively reviewed in Leidan art circles, including a review by ceramist, W.C. Brouwer. Oud created plans for 23 dwellings that consisted of two types of housing units, Type A and B. Type A housing units were smaller and Type B featured a larger kitchen. Oud also designed another larger house with hairdresser and shop for the housing project. Most of the project was completed by 1915 (Taverne et al. 2001, 96-100). Project series includes two of Oud's drawings for housing units of Blocks 1-3, as well as a photograph of Housing Type B.

Description:
In addition to its regular municipal housing program, the city of Stuttgart initiated the Weissenhof estate project in 1925, which featured the design and construction of 40 homes as part of the international exhibition of modern construction. Originally intended as an affordable housing project, the plans were later tailored to meet the needs of educated middle class citizens. The exhibition featured the experimental designs of various architects, experimenting with home economics and new building types and materials. When it opened in 1927, the Weissenhof estate comprehended 21 projects of 63 dwellings with Oud contributing designs for five identical terraced homes that were built (Taverne et al. 2001, 291-297). Project series includes photographs of exterior and interior views of terraced housing as well as Oud's drawings for plans.

Description:
In 1929, the north Rotterdam neighbourhood of Blijodorp became the site of a municipal housing plan. Previous plans had been formulated in the early 1920s by architects Kromhout and Heijkoop but foundered due to lack of funding. Oud was brought into the project in the early 1930s and combined a perimeter block with row housing in his design of 306 dwellings for workers and eighteen buildings for seniors. The nine housing blocks faced the gardens and feature a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms with storage space situated below the elevated living level. His plans were not realized because the national government withdrew its investment in the housing market (Taverne et al. 2001, 304-310). Project series includes drawings of plans for Blijdorp Municipal Housing and a photograph of a perspective drawing.
