Project
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.

Project
Jasmac, Toronto (1988)
AP056.S1.1988.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a proposal for a mixed-use building located at 100 Yorkville Street in Toronto in 1988. The office identified the project number as 8807. This project proposed an eight-storey building with three levels of underground parking to be used as a mix of retail spaces, restaurants, an office, a gallery and residences. The residential areas comprised the top four floors and would range from around 29,000 square feet to 34,000 square feet in total area. On the exterior, the building would integrate the original facades of existing buildings along Scollard Street. The development also wrapped around a large courtyard at its centre, accessible from pedestrian walkways connected to sidewalks. The project is recorded through drawings, aerial site photographs and a project model dating from 1987-1988. The drawings are mostly originals and include site surveys, sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and axonometric drawings.
