AP056.S1.1987.PR02
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the design of Ottawa City Hall in Ottawa, Ontario from 1987-1988. The office identified the project number as 8711. This competition for Ottawa's new city hall called for a contemporary building that would integrate the old city hall, originally built in the 1950s and located on Green Island in the Rideau Canal. Set between Sussex Drive and Union Street, this project consisted of 1 building with 6 distinct parts: the old office building, the new office building, the City Room, the Council Chamber, the podium, and the daycare centre. The old office building was the original modernist-style city hall that would now serve as office spaces for civic workers. It would be renovated to create better circulation with the new extension. The new office building, serving a similar function, would sit behind the old one to create an L-shape on half of the perimeter. It had a large civic tower on one end that would serve as an observation deck. The City Room, a three-storey element in the centre of the structure, had a distinctive roof made up of more than a dozen small pyramids. Whitton Hall would be used as a ceremonial space, the building's lobby, a major central assembly hall, and meeting rooms. The council chambers were located in a self-contained rotunda, which also had press offices on the ground floor. The daycare centre consisted of a rectangular pavilion, set on a diagonal axis from the rest of City Hall. All of these elements sat on a raised podium that had landscaped terraces and gardens around the building's exterior. The terrace offered stunning views of the Ottawa cityscape across the canal. The podium contained one level of parking, with two additional levels below ground. This project was conceptualized to have two distinct fronts, one with its formal address on Sussex Drive that had a ceremonial entrance called the Plaza of Nations, and one off Union Street beneath the podium and underneath the Peace Bell. KPMB's entry proposed a building that would integrate with the existing system of green parks and walkways already present on the island. However, this was not the winning design for the competition and the project was eventually realized by architect Moshe Safdie. This project is recorded through drawings, photographs, a model and watercolour paintings dating from 1987-1988. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, surveys and site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and axonometrics of the design. There are also a number of presentation panels that show the final competition submission with short texts about the design intention and construction phasing. The watercolours present the building's exterior and photographs show different views of the project model.

Description:
- This album contains drawings by Hubert and Charles Rohault de Fleury for six projects related to horses, with some pertaining to larger issues of urban development. The drawings range from design development drawings to highly finished renderings - mostly plans, elevations and sections. The proposed projects are in a pared-down classical style typical of the Rohault de Fleury's utilitarian structures. The projects include a stud-farm, Haras de Madrid, Bois de Boulogne (1819); a horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary, Clos St. Charles, nouveau quartier Poissonnière, including studies for the development of the quartier (1823-1825); Clos d'équarrissage, fôret de Bondy (probably 1825-1827); and three projects for horse slaughterhouses: Plaine de Grenelle (1824), an unnamed project (probably between 1825 and 1827), and La Villette (1835-1836). Hubert's project for a stud-farm on the site of the old Château de Madrid consists mostly of highly finished plans, elevations, and sections for the stables (DR1974:0002:014:001 - DR1974:0002:014:013). Hubert's project for a horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary for the Clos St. Charles area is apparently part of a larger project to develop the nouveau quartier Poissonnière (DR1974:0002:014:014 - DR1974:0002:014:029). The numerous site plans show the horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary, proposed roads, and properties to be purchased and sold. Included is a property lots plan for the quartier (DR1974:0002:014:014). Hubert's Clos d'équarrissage is the most extensive project in the album. Forty-three finished drawings - including construction drawings and plans showing variant configurations for the disposition of buildings - depict a slaughterhouse, a factory for the preservation of muscles, buildings for the preservation and processing of offal, and workers' housing (DR1974:0002:014:051 - DR1974:0002:014:088, DR1974:0002:014:091 - DR1974:0002:014:093, DR1974:0002:014:095 and DR1974:002:014:096). Hubert's drawings for a horse slaughterhouse, Plaine de Grenelle, range from detailed design development drawings to highly finished site plans (DR1974:0002:014:030 - DR1974:0002:014:048) and a bird's-eye view of the slaughterhouse (DR1974:0002:014:033). The drawings for an unidentified slaughterhouse are possibly for this project (DR1974:0002:014:049 - DR1974:0002:014:051). Charles's project for a slaughterhouse at La Villette consists of variant site plans (DR1974:0002:014:089 - DR1974:00002:014:090, DR1974:0002:014:095, DR1974:0002:014:104).

Inter-Action Centre
AP144.S2.D82
Description:
File documents Inter-Action Centre, a completed project for a community centre commissioned by Ed Berman and the Inter-Action Trust, for a disused site at Talacre Public Open Space in Kentish Town, Camden, London. The construction was divided into two phases. Foundations, steel frame and trusses were constructed first and could be used for open-air community events while funds were being raised for the second phase. Phase II included cladding, fittings, finishes, services prefabricated units, and log cabins. The building was intended as a flexible short life-span building in which the interior spaces would be independent of the roof and exterior walls. Functional areas suggested by Cedric Price include: assembly halls, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, studios, areas for performance, media resources, lounging and dining, and a gym and a nursery. Cedric Price had been engaged by the concepts of flexible architecture, indeterminacy, impermanence, and the fusion of information technology, entertainment, and educational activities in earlier unrealized projects such as Fun Palace (AP144.S2.D46) and Oxford Corner House (AP144.S2.D59). Existing conditions drawings include photographs of the site; reprographic copies of electrical and drainage systems; ordinance surveys of Kentish Town; and landscape and playground layout. Conceptual drawings include sketches of overall massing; diagrammatic plans; drawings and diagrams of site conditions; notes for the structural framework; rendered interior elevations; plans showing impact of site context on building design; diagrammatic sketches of relationship between functional requirements and structural form. Schematic drawings include diagrammatic plans; sections of structural system and exterior wall; cladding details; and axonometric views of supports. Design development drawings and working drawings include plans, elevations, sections, details and axonometric views. Presentation drawings include watercolours and other renderings; reprographic copies, possibly for publication; and perspectives drawings. Some material from this file was published in "Inter-action Centre." 'RIBA Journal'. (November 1977), 458-465; "Intervista A Cedric Price: London Interaction Centre." 'Domus'.

Description:
- This group is comprised of drawings and photographs for Francis Fowke's winning entry in the 1864 competition for the Natural History and Patent Museums, South Kensington, London, and correspondence and pamphlets related to John Liddell's subsequent claim (1866) of sole authorship of the external treatment of Fowke's design. A hand-coloured reprographic copy (DR1989:0026:005) is apparently an elevation for Fowke's final design for the Natural History and Patent Museum, and a photograph of the section through the Patent Museum (DR1989:0026:001) is also possibly for Fowke's final design. Other drawings (DR1989:0026:003, DR1989:0026:006, and DR1989:0026:007 R/V) and another photograph (DR1989:0026:002) are possibly for preliminary designs for the competition. Many of the letters are by John Liddell to the First Commissioner of Works (W.F. Cowper and later, Lord John Manners), and Alfred Waterhouse asserting his claim to authorship of the external treatment of Fowke's design (DR1989:0026:013, DR1989:0026:015, DR1989:0026:017, DR1989:0026:029, DR1989:0026:031-33, DR1989:0026:036, DR1989:0026:040). The First Commissioner's secretaries' replies to these are also included (DR1989:0026:016, DR1989:0026:035, DR1989:0026:041-043). Liddell compiled many of these letters, as well as some not included in this group, into a pamphlet in order to publicize his case (DR1989:0026:020, DR1989:0026:023-24, DR1989:0026:026-27, DR1989:0026:039, DR1989:0026:044-045). There are ten copies of this transcribed correspondence as well letters to the editors of four London newspapers (DR1989:0026:022, DR1989:0026:025, DR1989:0026:028, DR1989:0026:030, DR1989:0026:051). Also included is Liddell's correspondence to two of the competition judges (DR1989:0026:019, DR1989:0026:037, DR1989:0026:038) and several Members of Parliament (DR1989:0026:014, DR1989:0026:018, DR1989:0026:021, DR1989:0026:034) solicting support for his claims. A letter from Fowke to Liddell accompanies the payment of Liddell's portion of the competition premium (DR1989:0026:009). Three letters discuss a recommendation for Liddell from Sir Henry Cole (DR1989:0026:010-012). Pamphlets include two copies of pamphlets (one incomplete) published in 1863 by the House of Commons describing Sir Richard Owens' ideas for the Natural History Museum, with hand-coloured plans and sections drawn by Sir Henry A. Hunt and printed by Henry Hansard (DR1989:0026:046-47); two copies of the competition guidelines, each annotated with sketches, probably by Fowke and Liddell (DR1989:0026:048-049); and two copies of the description of Fowke's design, one with his motto and modifications (DR1989:0026:050 ?). The tabletop designs on the verso of some of the sketches date to 1907 and are unrelated to the other material in the collection (DR1989:0026:006 R/V and DR1989:0026:007 R/V).
