Housings
AP185.S1
Description:
This project, 1998-2000, documents the conception and design of Housings, mass-customized prefabricated residences, by the architecture firm KOL/MAC. KOL/MAC began by digitally blending a typical 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom colonial house with a range of other objects or use cases. The result was six related houses that explored the relationship between customization and mass prefabrication. Housings relates to KOL/MAC’s exploration of what they call chimerical projects, where form and function are combined to create uniquely hybridized structures. The project records are largely in CAD formats, including Alias Wire, Maya, and IGES files; there are a number of raster image formats, including TIF, Alias pix, Mac Pict images, and JPEG. The materials include renderings, wireframe drawings, and still images of the various Housings structures. There is also a body of material from and related to the concrete manufacturer, YTONG, as well as a small amount of video material, which is only partially accessible due to format obsolescence.

Project
AP018.S1.1968.PR01
Description:
This project series documents St. John's City Hall and Civic Centre in Newfoundland from 1968-1970. The office identified the project number as 68002. This project consisted of three phases of development, with phase I being city hall, phase II being a commercial redevelopment, and phase III being additional public buildings. The master program included plans for a library, department store, supermarket, retail stores, a movie theatre, a hotel with a restaurant and banquet hall, a bus terminal and 160 residential units. It is not clear from the project materials whether these buildings were realized. The city hall site consisted of a concrete building on New Grower Street, which sat atop a concrete podium with parking below. A system of diagonal terraces with pedestrian areas also made up the podium. City hall, which was approximately four-storeys at its maximum height, included council chambers, offices, a great hall with artifacts and memorials, and municipal departments, among others. This project won an Award of Excellence for The Canadian Architect in 1968. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of mechanical and electrical drawings dating from 1970.

Description:
This project series documents renovations and expansions to the Dorchester Corporation offices in Chicago from 1987-1988. The office identified the project number as 8736. This project primarily consisted of the expansion and renovation of the offices located on the 23rd and 24th floor of the historic Jeweler's Building located at 35 East Wacker Drive. The client, Marex Properties Limited, requested the interior modernization of the terracotta-faced building, without compromising its historical character. This included the general update of public spaces, the redesign of typical office corridors, washrooms, windows and signage. The 23rd floor was gutted and rebuilt with a new glass façade, exterior deck and interior layout. An additional 4,000 square feet of space was added to the 24th floor by pushing the exterior walls outward. A complete upgrade of life safety, HVAC, mechanical and electrical systems was also implemented. Led by Marianne McKenna and Thomas Payne, this project won the 1990 Modernization Award of Excellence from Buildings Magazine. The project is recorded through drawings and photographic materials dating from 1987-1989. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans and elevations.

Description:
This project series documents the federal women's prison in Kitchener, Ontario, now called The Grand Valley Institution for Women, from 1992-1994. The office identified the project number as 9227. This project, built for Public Works Canada and Correctional Services Canada, consisted of a large, main prison building with nine small cottages lining the property. The main building included the admission and discharge area, food services, recreation spaces and spirituality centre, as well as an area for prisoners requiring enhanced security. The spirituality room was a window-rimmed rotunda that pierced the slanted roof of the main stucco building. The smaller cottages were wood-sided with aluminum windows and could house eight people. While many were built to house eight prisoners, some designs replaced prisoner's rooms with children's bedrooms for inmates who had children staying with them. There was also a large, green space in the centre of all the buildings, with plans to build a baseball diamond, daycare building and an additional cottage in the future. The project is recorded through drawings dating from1992-1995. The drawings and mostly originals and include site surveys, sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings.
