AP086.S2
Description:
Cette série contient des documents de deux natures. D'abord, les 26 photographies que Blaise Marchand a colligées alors qu'il était architecte en chef pour l'entretien au ministère des Travaux publics du Québec (1945-1968), illustrent principalement les différentes décorations temporaires installées sur les façades de l'Hôtel du Parlement à Québec, et dans les environs, à l'occasion d'événements spéciaux entre 1949 et 1960 [1963]. Pour la grande majorité, les photographies ont été réalisées par le Service de ciné-photographie de l'Office provincial de publicité du Québec, mais aussi par le ministère des Travaux publics - Service des architectes, ainsi que par le photographe Michel, photographie artistique et commerciale (Québec) et par le studio Photo Montcalm (Québec). Ensuite, les trois publications et le manuscrit ([1956]-1963) conservés dans la série documentent l'intérêt que Marchand portait à l'urbanisme et à la conservation et la restauration du patrimoine bâti. Les titres entre guillemets ont été tirés des légendes qui accompagnaient les photographies lorsque les documents sont arrivés aux archives.

Description:
This project series documents the Forbes residence on Richmond Street West in Toronto in 1995. The office identified the project number as 9521. From the drawings, the project seems to be a proposal for a two-storey house. It also seems to investigate multiple schemes for the residence, looking at different room and building configurations. The home had a maximum height of two-storeys with a basement and was conceived to be 3607.5 square feet. The project is recorded through drawings dating from1995. The majority of the drawings are sketches, but plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are also included.

AP206.S1.1972.PR02
Description:
This project series documents a house in Jammu, India around 1972. The project consisted of a two-storey, five bedroom home with a tower for water tanks. The porch at the home's entrance separated the main house from a round office volume. The home's exterior featured several curved walls, patterned with rubble, some of which curled into the house's interior. The project is recorded through working drawings of plans, elevations and sections, likely dating from around 1972. The titling on the drawings implies that the home was designed for a specific client, but the titles were left incomplete.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the St. Michael's College Lands Competition at the University of Toronto in 1987. The office identified the project number as 8724. The lands were located at the corner of Bay and St. Joseph Streets. Sketches for the proposal show axonometric schemes of rectangular building configurations, ranging from 16 storeys to 25 storeys. The project appears to be for a residence, as the drawings investigate different numbers of units in the building, with commercial spaces at grade. The project is recorded through sketches and a project model dating from around 1987.
