Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Reisman-Jenkinson residence and studio located at 92 Westwood Lane in Richmond Hill, Ontario from 1988-1991. The office identified the project number as 8813. This project consisted of a house and an attached studio with split-face concrete block exteriors for sculptor Stephen Jenkinson and writer Dolly Reisman. The house was divided into four wings, referred to in the documentation as Building A, Building B, Building C, and Building D. Building A was the studio at the front of the property, which had a distinctive marquis roof made of metal that fanned into a skylight. Building B, the main living area, was a loft-style building that included the kitchen, dining room, living room and conservatory on the ground floor and an office and storage spaces in the basement. This building was marked by large glass walls at the front of the property and a pyramid-shaped skylight above the kitchen. Building C extended towards the back of the property and was considered the sleeping wing, housing bedrooms at the ground floor and a playroom in the basement. Finally, Building D, which sat on the back corner of Building C, was the master bedroom and included a gym at the basement level. Buildings B, C, and D created a semi circle whose interior contained an exterior courtyard and gardens. Multiple schemes were investigated for this project, including different layouts of the basements and the ground floor of Building C. The project is recorded through original drawings, textual records and photographs dating from 1988-1991. The drawings document the design and construction of the home and include plans, sections, elevations, axonometric drawings and perspectives of interiors, exteriors and furnishings. Also present are structural, electrical and mechanical drawings issued for construction. Textual records are included to support the drawings. The photographs show the completed home.

Description:
This project series documents the control tower at the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga from 1958-1964. The office identified the project number as 5872. This project consisted of a 100 foot high control tower built onto a single storey building totalling 30,600 square feet in size. The reinforced concrete tower was hexagonal in shape with a steel frame and reinforced concrete slab floor. A transparent skydome forms the ceiling of the central lobby, providing a view of the floor and supporting shafts of the tower. This project won a Silver Massey Medal for Architecture in 1964 and recognition from Canadian Architect magazine and the Beautify Toronto Campaign for its significance. The project is recorded through a presentation board of a photo of the skydome dating from around 1964.

DR1987:0061
Description:
- This drawing is one of four drawings by Arata Isozaki for the "City in the Air" schemes of 1960-1963. Three of these drawings are studies for the "Clusters in the Air" project of 1960-1962: a sketch showing a general view of the project, DR1987:0117, a more finished version of the same view, DR1987:0062, and a three-stage sketch showing trees becoming a forest, DR1987:0116. The sketch of trees demonstrates the principal idea behind the "Clusters in the Air" project; enormous supports (trunks) support passageways (branches) to which living units (leaves) are gradually added. The trees develope side by side, with branches of different trees joining up, creating a "forest" (Isozaki 1992, 20-23, 29). The subject of this drawing is unclear although it is possibly a conceptual drawing for the Marunouchi Project of 1963, a proposal for a "City in the Air" in the central business district of Tokyo (Isozaki 1992, 27, 29). All four drawings are executed on sheets perforated with square holes for insertion into a spiral notebook.

Description:
In order to better coordinate numerous war memorial committees, the Dutch national government instituted a Central Commission for War and Peace Memorials. The commission initiated a national monument project in 1946 with the direction of J. Henrick Muller, who chose Dam Square, Amsterdam, for its site. The existing plan drew on an existing municipal Amsterdam memorial. Sculptor John Raedecker designed a sculpture group supported by an obelisk and Oud was enlisted by Raedecker to create the memorial's spatial design for the sculptures and urns. Oud chose the memorial site opposite the palace in Dam Square. Despite pressure to change the site position, the committee submitted Oud's design and it was approved in 1950. The sculptures and monument were completed in 1956 with an opening ceremony held in May (Taverne et al. 2001, 457-460). Project series includes partial sections and plans showing sculptures by Raedecker.

Description:
In order to better coordinate numerous war memorial committees, the Dutch national government instituted a Central Commission for War and Peace Memorials. The commission initiated a national monument project in 1946 with the direction of J. Henrick Muller, who chose Dam Square, Amsterdam, for its site. The existing plan drew on an existing municipal Amsterdam memorial. Sculptor John Raedecker designed a sculpture group supported by an obelisk and Oud was enlisted by Raedecker to create the memorial's spatial design for the sculptures and urns. Oud chose the memorial site opposite the palace in Dam Square. Despite pressure to change the site position, the committee submitted Oud's design and it was approved in 1950. The sculptures and monument were completed in 1956 with an opening ceremony held in May (Taverne et al. 2001, 457-460). Project series includes partial sections and plans showing sculptures by Raedecker.
