Description:
This project series documents a housing project on Pakhowal Road in India, likely sometime around the 1980s-1990s. The exact location of Pakhowal Road is unknown, but it might be in Ludhiana. The project proposed three-storey blocks of flats in a range of sizes, which were staggered to provide adequate lighting for each resident. Different categories of typical blocks were designed that ranged from 3-6 flats in each and included garages for 9-cars. There were to be a total of 234 flats, with room for an additional 52 if the zoning allowed for a fourth storey. The project is recorded through original drawings of a site plan, floor plans and elevations, probably dating from around the 1980s-1990s.

Description:
This project series documents a proposal for Phat Studios in New York City from 1996-1997. The office identified the project number as 9618. This project, designed for record label Def Jam Records, was to be built on the corner of Jamaica Avenue and 160th Street in Queens. The design would then potentially be replicated for Def Jam in Los Angelos and Atlanta. The project would consist of a recording studio, restaurant, comedy club, listening lounge and retail space for label co-founder Russel Simmon's Phat Farm clothing brand. This project was never realized. The project is recorded through drawings and a photograph of the existing site dating from 1996-1997. The drawings are mostly original sketches but some digital renderings of the project are also included.

Description:
The material in this project series contains racist language. Please take care when viewing this material and seek help from trusted sources if needed. This project series documents a study on the relocation of the First Nations community of South Indian Lake in Manitoba. The community was relocated due to planned flooding that would be caused by the diversion of the Churchill River for a hydroelectric development. Part of the hydro project included works on Nelson River which would flood the area around the southeast shore of Southern Indian Lake. The study assessed the relocation site for the community and included a proposed plan which outlined economic, social, and educational programmes to be integrated along with the physical development of the region. The proposed plan was not implemented.

Description:
Le dossier documente le projet de construction du Bar Braque, siuté au 980 est, rue Rachel, à Montréal, Québec. Le budget aloué pour ce projet était de 200 000$. Aussi, le projet s'est mérité le Prix d'excellence de l'ordre des architectes du Québec, distinction en architecture, en 1983. Le dossier contient des dessins, des documents textuels, des reprographies, des photographies, des négatifs, des diapositives, des panneaux et un photomontage. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Le bar Braque, du 980 est, rue Rachel à Montréal est un projet d'insertion d'une construction sur un site rendu vacant à la suite d'un feu, il y a plusieurs années. Une construction neuve a permis d'envisager le projet comme un geste entier d'intégration à la rue et à la ville. Les études de façade témoignent de la volonté de réaliser une architecture interprétative du caractère commercial montréalais. On peut y voir les liens fragiles qu'elle établit avec les voisines et simultanément l'importance qu'elle s'accorde par rapport à elles. Aussi, tente-t-elle de vibrer aux textures et aux couleurs préviliégiées des matériaux aptes à assumer les rôles commerciaux et culturels du lieu : bar dans la ville." Jacques Rousseau, Section A, nº 5-6, vol. 2, janvier 1985, p. 12-13.
