PH1984:0038:023
Description:
- Photograph PH1984:0038:023 is apparently taken from the intersection of State and Adams Streets based on the imprinted title. Further research is required to determine if this photograph is in fact taken from the intersection and from which direction the photograph was taken, as well as to identify the domed building at the center left of the photograph. If photographer was looking east along Adams Street, the Chicago Art Institute would be located at the center left of the photograph, however, the Institute never had a dome. Research has revealed no building which would "block" Adams Street looking west and/or State Street looking north or south (Schulze and Harrington).

Reference number:
AP056.S1.2000.PR08
Description:
This project series documents buildings for Concordia University's downtown campus in Montréal from 2000-2009. The office identified the project number as 0004. This project eventually became known as Le Quartier Concordia. This project was the winning submission of an architectural competition by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, in joint-venture with Fichten Soiferman et Associés Architectes, to design an integrated, vertical campus to revitalize and reinvent the University. This project consisted of three interconnected high-rise buildings on either side of Montreal's Guy Street, below De Maisonneuve Boulevard, to rehouse three important faculties: Visual Arts, Engineering and Computer Science, and the John Molson School of Business. These three buildings had glazed curtain wall exteriors with copper-coloured metal lines that created visual consistency inside and outside of all three buildings. Large art installations were also included on the façades. Triple-height atriums on the ground floors of the Engineering Building and the John Molson building added welcoming, public areas to the campus, and connected pedestrians to the Guy-Concordia metro station below. The tops of these two buildings featured massive north-south canopies that pointed from Montreal's Mont Royal down to the St. Lawrence River. The shorter Visual Arts building was directly connected to the Engineering building and today they are known together as the EV Building. The building interiors, comprised largely of stone tiles and concrete, featured large, multi-storey spiral staircases in a nod to the famous exterior spiral stairs of Montreal homes.[1] The Engineering and Visual Arts buildings were completed in 2005 and the John Molson building in 2009. Recladding of the exterior of another campus building to match these was completed in 2011.[2] It should be noted that these project materials were donated to the CCA part way through the project's realization. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 2000-2003. The drawings are mostly originals but reprographic copies and printouts of CAD drawings are also included. The drawings consist of sketches, digital renderings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and construction drawings. The textual records are arranged within the drawings and consist of research.

Reference number:
AP174.S1.2001.D1
Description:
This project file documents an unbuilt design by Testa & Weiser for Carbon Tower (2001), a forty-storey building made almost entirely of carbon fibre. The project was developed in parallel with scripting software designed while Peter Testa and Devyn Weiser co-directed the Emergent Design Group at MIT. "The tower consists of an interdependent set of parts: floor plates hang from a diagrid structure of bundled fibres reinforced by two double-helix covered ramps, which are run in and out of the structure and are themselves made of strands woven at a finer scale. A thin composite skin—glass would be too heavy—wraps the tower’s parts together. A collaboration with Arup in 2002 allowed Testa & Weiser to simplify the scheme even further, by moving all core elements, from elevators to structural supports, to the tower’s perimeter. To take full advantage of the flexibility and energy efficiency of composite materials, Testa & Weiser also imagined that the carbon fibre structures would be formed on site through a process called pultrusion."[1] The file contains a large number of digital files documenting the conceptual and design development of the project; consultation with Arup Consulting Engineers, New York; research on composite materials; fabrication of 3D printed physical models by 3D Systems and Windform; and exhibition of the project at several museums and galleries, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, New York. Also contained in the file are 56 paper drawings (including some sketches done on top of printed computer-aided designs) and two 3D printed physical models produced by 3D Systems.
