Description:
- This drawing shows three plans for the wing which extends behind the west end of the chapel at St. Peter's Convent, Woking. There is a ground floor plan at l., and a first-floor plan at r. The center plan shows a third floor, or a modified part of the ground floor, without the dispensary. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.

Description:
This project series contains eight reproductions of drawings displayed in the exhibit to document the Leal neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that the project: ... pioneered the concept of community association, with the first resident activities dating back to the early 1970s. In 1974, immediately after the revolution, the residents opposed the building of a car park that would have involved their relocation and resettlement. The project of the architect Sérgio Fernandez, which originated in a pre-revolutionary resident organization, was conceived through the dynamics of the resident process, and had a project-oriented clarity that came from an economic sense of design, adapting to the needs and political character of the intervention. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Sérgio Fernandez worked for SAAL/North with António Corte Real, Carlos Delfim, Emídio Fonseca, José Manuel Soares, Vítor Sinde and the residents' association Bairro do Leal, that was founded on April 30th, 1975. The first phase of the project included 16 dwellings and the second, 33 dwellings. The operation began in October 1974, with a construction date in April 1976. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, cadastral and implementation plans, and an axonometric view. The original drawings were produced in 1975 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

Description:
The project series documents the renovation of the Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR) tower in Geneva, Switzerland. There were two competition finalists: Abalos & Herreros received the second phase of the project which was not realised. The firm identified this project as number 197. "The project approaches the two presented problems in a single way: the image change of the existing complex and the extension of the floor area at the roof top. […] [A] single type of curtain wall has been developed with windows of reasonable shape and format which curve at the top floor to take advantage of the maximum volume allowed by local building laws, generating an image of the building which is completely different than the actual one. The use of silk printed glass in the whole building, with motives from plants, creates an impression from the interior to be situated in a garden. At the same time the exterior appearance underlines the building’s singularity at the pedestrian level. […] The created extension of the building has a trae [sic] singular shape which one day could host a possible showroom or multifunctional rooms or as executive floor.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Blaise Sahy. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development, presentation and working drawings, digital, graphic, presentation and reference materials, correspondence, notes, and a model.

Description:
The project series documents the renovation of the Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR) tower in Geneva, Switzerland. There were two competition finalists: Abalos & Herreros received the second phase of the project which was not realised. The firm identified this project as number 197. "The project approaches the two presented problems in a single way: the image change of the existing complex and the extension of the floor area at the roof top. […] [A] single type of curtain wall has been developed with windows of reasonable shape and format which curve at the top floor to take advantage of the maximum volume allowed by local building laws, generating an image of the building which is completely different than the actual one.

Description:
Project series AP154.S1.1979.PR01, George & Annette Murphy Center at Asphalt Green, New York, N.Y. (1979), documents an executed project to recycle a municipal asphalt plant into a youth sports and arts center. Clients for the project were the New York City Department of General Services and the Neighborhood Committee for the Asphalt Green, chaired by Dr. George Murphy. The asphalt plant was a parabolic structure built in the 1940s by the firm Kahn and Jacobs. Pasanella + Klein worked on the adaptive reuse project with HOK, successors to Kahn and Jacobs. The transformed interior includes two gymnasia of different sizes, a running track, art and photography studios, offices, lockers, showers and a theatre. The design includes an on-site total energy plant. The project series consists of presentation drawings. References: Kerr, Laurie.

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Discovery Parks' site on the Simon Fraser University campus, in Burnaby, British Columbia. Created in 1979, Discovery Parks is an organization with the mission to accomodate scientific and technological research activities by building and renting research installations. Initially founded by the provincial government, Discovery Parks became self-governning and independant in 1990. Oberlander worked on this project from 1979-1984 with Russell Vandiver Architects. The project consisted in creating three research building north of University Drive, in the Naheeto Park, with landscaped recreational areas between each buildings. The project was later reduce to one research building located at the corner of Nelson Way and University Drive, on the far east end of the initial site. Oberlander's landscape design consisted in trees planting along the street, the parking lot and the driveway, and creating a recreational area for staff and students. The project series contains textual records, including research, Oberlander's concept notes, project proposals, correspondence with architect and clients, specifications, and financial documents. The project series also comprises photographs and working drawings, such as proposed sites plans, site plans, grading plans, planting plans and landscape plans.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for landscape master plan of Smith College campus, Northampton, Massachusetts. Oberlander worked on this project from 1995-1997 in collaboration with Shavaun Towers from landscape architectural firm Rolland/Towers. The project required to preserve the historic landscaping, initially design by Frederick Law Olsmsted, while also taking into account future growth of the campus. In this idea Oberlander and Towers bases their landscape master plan on six key concepts: to preserve the sacred spaces of the campus, to restore Olmsted vision, to develope open spaces in an hierarchical fashion, to limite vehicular traffic and separate it from pedestrian circulation, to provide stronger pedestrian connexions and commun spaces for social interactions, and to expande and enhance the Botanic Garden on the campus. The project series contains concept notes by Oberlander, research and reference material, proposal, meetings notes, contract, correspondence, mostly with landscape architects, clients and consultants, and financial documents. The project is also documented through landscape master plans for Oberlander and Towers proposal and campus landscape plans and previous landscape working drawings used as reference.The project series also contains photographic materials, such as slides and photographs, of the college landscaping, and postcards of Smith College.
