Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Reisman-Jenkinson residence and studio located at 92 Westwood Lane in Richmond Hill, Ontario from 1988-1991. The office identified the project number as 8813. This project consisted of a house and an attached studio with split-face concrete block exteriors for sculptor Stephen Jenkinson and writer Dolly Reisman. The house was divided into four wings, referred to in the documentation as Building A, Building B, Building C, and Building D. Building A was the studio at the front of the property, which had a distinctive marquis roof made of metal that fanned into a skylight. Building B, the main living area, was a loft-style building that included the kitchen, dining room, living room and conservatory on the ground floor and an office and storage spaces in the basement. This building was marked by large glass walls at the front of the property and a pyramid-shaped skylight above the kitchen. Building C extended towards the back of the property and was considered the sleeping wing, housing bedrooms at the ground floor and a playroom in the basement. Finally, Building D, which sat on the back corner of Building C, was the master bedroom and included a gym at the basement level. Buildings B, C, and D created a semi circle whose interior contained an exterior courtyard and gardens. Multiple schemes were investigated for this project, including different layouts of the basements and the ground floor of Building C. The project is recorded through original drawings, textual records and photographs dating from 1988-1991. The drawings document the design and construction of the home and include plans, sections, elevations, axonometric drawings and perspectives of interiors, exteriors and furnishings. Also present are structural, electrical and mechanical drawings issued for construction. Textual records are included to support the drawings. The photographs show the completed home.

The bubble is a wonder of surface tension. In its architectural interpretation, the bubble can be understood as a feat of engineering or as a metaphor for an enclosed hermetic environment.

Description:
The project series documents the Habitações em Concepcion Arenal in Cádiz, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 61/80. The office assigned the date 1989 for this project. The project, located on Calle Concepción Arenal, consisted of two four-storey buildings on adjacent properties interrupted by Calle Botica (referred to as Block A and Block B in the project materials). Above Calle Botica, the two buildings reached toward each other with white visors on their roofs that shaded the street below. The project program described the buildings' use as commercial spaces and dwellings. Both volumes had interior courtyards that allowed natural lighting and cross ventilation for all residences. Towards the street, the buildings' lower façades were made from local stone, in stark contrast to the top façades in white plaster. The interior courtyards were faced in white plaster on all levels. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, slides and textual records dating from 1988-1992. The drawings include plans, elevations, sections, details, axonometric drawings and sketches, while the slides and photographs mostly show the built project. Textual records include specifications, correspondence, reports on the protection of Cádiz's Old Town, and building programs.

Description:
Series 3, Tongxian Art Center, Beijing, 2000 – 2007, documents the development of a multiphase project for a public arts complex thirty miles from Beijing. Phases are distinguished when possible. Phase I of the project is the gatehouse (realized), which consists of housing and studio space for artists-in-residence. It is conceived as a brick monolith that has been shrink-wrapped or vacuumed into its shape – a metaphor for the optimization of the building’s limited space. Regional materials are incorporated through the use of local brick and native chudumu wood on the exterior. The gatehouse was completed in 2003. Phase II of the project is the art center (unrealized), which consists of public spaces, sculpture courts, administrative spaces and infrastructural needs of the institution, connected through a series of alleyways. The layout is organized to maximize interaction between inhabitants while maintaining a level of privacy. In addition to phases I and II, records in the series document a design referred to as Tongxian Gatekeeper (unrealized). Drawings, circa 2006, illustrate a building to house animals and agriculture in the southwest corner of the Tongxian Art complex grounds. The series contains sketches, drawings and reprographic copies from pre-design to construction stages of the project, two models including a wood model of the art center and a cardboard model of the gatekeeper wall, and photographic materials. The series also contains textual documents including correspondence with on-site project coordinator Timothy Clark, as well as meeting agendas, project schedules, agreements and proposals, and other project documentation. Digital material includes photographs of construction, CAD drawings, renderings, e-mail, and a video featuring the project team. The majority of material in the series relates to phase I of the project, the gatehouse. Some files include documentation about the involvement of contemporary artist Ai Wei Wei in a supervisory role for the project.
