Description:
The sub-series documents the executed exhibition project for entitled "Corridart" in Montréal, Québec, in 1976. The exhibition consists of a series of 16 installations by 60 artists spread on 7 km on Sherbrooke street between Atwater and Pie XI streets. The exhibition was curated by Melvin Charney and was financed by the ministère de la Culture du Québec as a cultural component for the Montreal Summer Olympics of 1976. Charney himself designed one of the installation "Les maison de la rue Sherbrooke" representing historical buildings of Sherbrooke street that were demolished to built new structures for the Expo 67 and later the Summer Olympics. The installations were illegally demolished after a week, on the evening of July 13th, two days before the opening of the Olympics by the City of Montréal in a controversial decision by the Mayor of Montréal, Jean Drapeau. The sub-series includes diazoprints for installation supports and maps of the installation site, photographs documenting the complete length of the North and South sides of Sherbrooke Street and a report with photographic documentation.

- A sectional elevation of a small, one-room garden pavilion with a dome and shallow portico. The two columns of the portico support an arch and a coffered barrel vault. On the interior the facing wall is decorated with ornate pilasters and panels set on either side of a central niche housing a sculpted figure (Mars or Minerva) above a couch, or seat. The inside of the dome is richly decorated with coffers that rise spirally to a glazed occulus. The basic architectural forms are drawn mechanically and the details are added freehand.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Bank of Montreal Central Computer Complex Two in Scarborough, Ontario from 1977-1982. The office identified the project number as 7709. The Central Computer Complex Two was built to be used by the Bank of Montreal as a data processing centre with offices for staff on site. The complex consisted of three octagonal buildings joined by tunnels and skywalks. The first building, Central Computer Complex Two (CCC2), was a three-storey data processing equipment building. The second building, Central Facilities Building (CUB), was a three-storey building devoted to shipping and receiving and employee spaces such as a library, exercise room, cafeteria and lounge, and a medical exam area. The third building, Staff Support Offices, was a four-storey building that contained employee offices. In addition, each building had a penthouse that contained mechanical and electrical equipment. A large part of the project was administered through John C. Parkin’s engineering firm, Parkin Engineers limited, with Paul Keenan acting as president. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, presentation boards and textual records dating from 1977-1982. The majority of reprographic copies are drawings used in the construction phase of the project. The photographs show the construction of the building. The textual records include design planning notes, client and contractor correspondence, site reports, change orders, supplementary instructions, specifications, detail drawings, meeting minutes, schedules, and invoices for work completed. Box AP018.S1.1977.PR08.074 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Synopsis:
The Ulrich Königs Chemnitz Stadium project records, 1995-1996, document the competition entry and design for an innovative stadium in Chemnitz, Germany. The project was a collaboration between Peter Kulka, Ulrich Königs, Cecil Balmond, and Arup Group, Ltd. The design was primarily driven by the theoretical and methodological processes made possible by computer-aided design, rather than aesthetics. The project records have both digital and physical components, which chiefly include renderings, wireframe drawings, digital 3D models, photographs, slides, video, and a booklet.

Description:
The project series documents a series of performances entitled "Il Mestiere Dell'Architetto". The first edition was performed by Pettena in Maiano, near Florence in 2002. It consisted of a series of images of Pettena rock climbing that represents the work of the architect "and the role of those who work in the discipline, what is represented here is the need to make choices and at the same time the difficulty of doing so, of taking routes that, while they may appear impassable, are actually the very essence of the artist’s thought and language [...]." [1] Another version was performed in 2004 at the Ex-Meccanotessile complex, in Florence, 2004, and consisted of a series of photographs of a man climbing the interior roof structure of the building. Unlike the 2002 edition of this performance, "not even nature offers its support to those who, despite moving with caution, often find themselves in a situation of impasse." [2] A final version of the performance was created in 2012 by Pettena. The digitally created installation consisted of a gradually fading shape of a climber drawn in leaves that slowly disperse. In this installation, compared to the two previous ones, the architect "seems to find here a solution and ultimate freedom through the final choice of ‘giving in’ to the prevalence of natural environment." [3] The project series contains a sketch and photographs of the 2002 performance, photographs of the 2004 performance, and a drawing for the 2012 performance.
