CI005.S1.1949.PR3
Description:
The Netherlands Congress Centre owed its genesis to architect-town planner, W.M. Dudok, who suggested creating a cultural centre for international conferences. In 1956 an ad hoc committee proposed the creation of a congress centre and invited Oud, in 1956, to design a centre that would incorporate a 3000 seat conference hall as well as other rooms for functions and events. Oud created a detailed design in 1958 that featured a seventeen-storey tower with hotel rooms. Oud amended his plans somewhat, creating an oval-shaped conference hall. In 1960 Oud further revised his design to reduce the main hall seating to 1500, and also designated it for use of theatrical events. Oud died in 1963 before the completion of construction. He was replaced by his son, Hans Oud, until the congress centre was erected in 1969 (Taverne et al. 2001, 544-546). Project series includes plans for the Congress Hall Complex.

AP164.S1.1999.D5
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the high-speed train station and hub Zaragoza-Delicias. The project was developed by Abalos & Herreros in collaboration with the firms MECSA and ARUP. The project made it to the second round of the competition. The firm identified this project as number 118. Among the essential characteristics of a train station, such as platforms, arrival, departure and waiting areas, the design also includes a large roof that supports two buildings of mixed housing, offices, hotels and space for other uses. Documenting this project are models, conceptual and design development drawings, correspondence, budgets, project descriptions, clippings, contracts, and reference and digital materials.

AP056.S1.1990.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Canada Life Assurance building in Toronto in 1990. The office identified the project number as 9007. This project consisted of a proposal to renovate the existing Canada Life Assurance headquarters located in the historic Beaux-Arts style building on the corner of Queen and University Streets. This work would also include the construction of a new, 15 storey mixed-use development with approximately 1,000,000 square feet of commercial office space, retail space and a hotel. The design goal was to create an urban campus while extending the corporate headquarters. This proposal was done in joint-venture with Bregman & Hamann and was headed by Marianne McKenna and Bruce Kuwabara. This was not the winning entry for the competition and the project was eventually realized by Shore Tilbe Henshall Irwin. The project is recorded through drawings, a presentation painting and a model dating from 1988-1990. The drawings are mostly originals and consist of sketches, plans, elevations, perspectives and axonometric drawings.
