The sketches are for various subjects including I-beams (DR1994:0011:001 R/V), a column-to-beam connection and an unidentified building (DR1994:0011:002 R/V), and a sketch plan of Mies' 1928-1929 design for the Friedrichstrasse office building in Berlin (DR1994:0011:030). Notes DR1994:0011:003 - DR1994:0011:024 are written in German and are generally illegible. Many changes have been made to the notes, and some sheets appear to have been reordered or struck out. Some of the notes may be about urban planning. The number in the upper left corner of sheets DR1994:0011:010, DR1994:0011:012-016 and DR1994:0011:020-021 may indicate the order of the topics dealt with in the notes. Notes DR1994:0011:025 are illegible. Notes DR1994:0011:026 are written in English, and may be notes of a lecture. The notes in sketchbook DR1994:0011:027:001-035 are written in German, are generally illegible, and are usually written in point form or sometimes as lists. Chicago is mentioned on several of the sheets. There is a shift in the clarity of the handwriting halfway through the sketchbook and some of the notes in the latter half may relate to Mies' readings of philosophy. Some of the notes in sketchbook DR1994:0028:001-008 R/V are written in German and some in English. The first and second pages of the sketchbook describe measurements for addresses on the campus of IIT, as well as for the Power Plant. The last three pages of the sketchbook discuss the architectural education programm at IIT and an exhibition of student work.

Description:
The series documents the design of Beaver Lake Pavilion, built for the City of Montréal between 1955 and 1959 as part of the redevelopment of Mount Royal Park. Sise worked with architect Guy Desbarats (1925-2003) on the project. The pavilion was built as part of a larger public works project directed by the City during the 1950s and 1960s during which time many park facilities were built. Beaver Lake Pavilion is recognized to have encouraged a renewal in the architectural forms of public facilities (1). The file contains 43 working drawings which depict every aspect of construction of the pavilion (location plan, floor plans, elevations and sections, as well as numerous detail drawings). Included with the drawings is documentation collected by Sise to support his design, including a topographical map of the park (Mount-Royal - Design Map - 1877), as well as a 1955 book published by the City Planning Department of the City of Montreal (Montreal Master Plan - Open Spaces). (1) "Pavillon-restaurant du Lac au Castors, 1955-1958", ARQ, no 91 (juin 1996), p. 21. _____________________ La série documente la conception du pavillon du Lac aux Castors construit pour la Ville de Montréal entre 1955 et 1958, dans le cadre du réaménagement du parc du Mont Royal. Ce pavillon s'insère dans un vaste chantier dirigé par la Ville de Montréal durant les années 1950 et 1960 alors que de nombreux équipements de parcs furent construits. Sise s'était associé pour l'occasion à l'architecte Guy Desbarats (1925-2003). Le pavillon du Lac aux Castors est reconnu pour avoir favorisé le renouvellement des formes architecturales des équipements publics (1). Le dossier comprend 43 dessins d'exécution réalisés à la mine de plomb sur toile concernant tous les aspects de la construction du pavillon (plan d'implantation, plans des étages, élévations et coupes, ainsi que des dessins de nombreux détails). De plus, il contient la documentation colligée par Sise pour l'appuyer dans sa tâche de conception, soit une reproduction d'une carte topographique du parc du Mont-Royal (Mount-Royal - Design Map - 1877), ainsi qu'une publication réalisée par le Département d'urbanisme de la Ville de Montréal en 1955 concernant les espaces publics (Montreal Master Plan - Open Spaces).

AP018.S1.1973.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Eaton’s store building at Dundas Square in Toronto from 1973-1977. The office identified the project number as 7303. This project, commissioned by The T. Eaton Co. Limited, consisted of a one million square foot department store with thirteen floors, ten above ground and three below. The building boasted nine floor of retail space, seamlessly connected through elevators and escalators. The remaining floors hosted office and storage spaces. Located at the corner of Yonge and Dundas streets, the Eaton’s store was connected to the Eaton Centre mall to its south. The mall, designed and built simultaneously with the Eaton’s store, was designed by the architecture firm Craig Zeidler Strong. For the Eaton’s store project, Parkin Architects Planners created a joint venture with architect C. Blakeway Millar, referred to as Parkin Millar in the documentation. Parkin Millar was the associate architects on this project, with the Eaton’s company architect, E.L. Hankinson, working as the primary architect. Each of the firms mentioned worked closely together to develop a cohesive design for the Eaton’s store and Eaton’s Centre mall, which is evident in the materials. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records, a book and presentation boards dating from 1973-1977. There are a large number of original drawings and sketches for the project. Most of the reprographic copies are arranged within the textual materials. There are presentation boards of the Vancouver Eaton's store in this project series that were likely used as reference by the architects. The textual records consist of correspondence, meeting minutes, site reports, change orders, consultancy records, inter-office letters, and specifications. Also in this project series is a special edition of the Eaton News, a monograph with in depth descriptions of the project.

Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the outdoor playground of the Children's Creative Centre. The Centre was part of the Canadian Federal Pavilion built for the Universal and International Exposition of 1967 (Expo 67), located at the south end of Notre-Dame Island in Montréal. Oberlander worked on this project from 1965-1966. She based her design on children's spontaneous exploration, to encourage self-motivation and creative play. The playground included a rolling terrain, looping paths, a wobble walk made of short logs embeded in the ground, a canal, and "giant wooden building pieces and a rocking boat in water replaced static sculptures". [1] The playground included a sand beach-like area with drifwood and plants to be used as play props. At the centre of the playground was a grass mound with an interior cave and a high wooden platform only reachable by a commando rope. A forty-foot long circulating water channel was situated in the east section of the playground and included two small islands linked by bridges, but was narrow enough to allow children to jump over it. The project series contains sketches, preliminary landscape concept plans, site plans, general landscape plans at different stages of design development, several sections and detail drawings for the playground's equipment and installations, and presentation drawings, including perspective views. The project series also contains architectural, electrical, and structural drawings of the Pavilion, which were provided to Oberlander for reference. Also included are photographs of the playground, research material on playgrounds, and articles and publications on the project, including Oberlander's writings, and publications on Expo '67.
