Description:
- This album contains drawings of architectural ornament - mostly highly finished - by Charles and Georges Rohault de Fleury. Although primarily from unidentified sources (DR1974:0002:026:002 - DR1974:0002:026:025, and DR1974:0002:026:038), there are a few drawings with identified sources, and twelve drawings of architectural ornament submitted by Georges to the Concours d'émulation (monthly competitions) held at the École impériale des beaux-arts, Paris. The subject matter of the drawings of architectural ornament from unidentified sources consists of capitals, friezes, festoons, moldings, cartouches, and vegetal and floral ornament. Identified subject matter includes a Composite capital and entablature from the Louvre (DR1974:0002:026:024), details from the Temple of Jupiter Stator, Rome (DR1974:0002:026:007 and DR1974:0002:026:013), and a Corinthian capital from Hôtel Soltykoff, Paris (DR1974:0002:026:038). The drawings for the Concours d'émulation by Georges are numbered "1er" to "12e" and were submitted to concours dating from 16 June 1857 to 22 October 1858 (DR1974:0002:026:026 - DR1974:0002:026:037). An unbound sheet inserted in the front of the album may be a portrait of Charles Rohault de Fleury (DR1974:0002:026:001).

AP018.S1.1976.PR23
Description:
This project series documents the design of the new National Gallery of Canada for a limited architectural competition in Ottawa, Ontario in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7630. This project consisted of designing a new gallery to house Canada's most prized artworks and artefacts in a competition run by Public Works Canada on behalf of National Museums of Canada. The building site was down the street from Canada's parliament buildings, with views of the Ottawa River and across to Quebec. The design submitted by Parkin Architects Planners was highly modular, with cubes turned on an angle making up the majority of the building. The six-storey building design had three floors of galleries, while other levels were to be used for staff, services, and storage. A panel of international architects and representatives anonymously chose Parkin's design as the winner of the competition in early 1977. However, after cited lack of funds, and controversies over the chosen site and the way in which the competition was run, the newly formed Canada Museums Construction Company sought another design and architect for the new National Gallery. The dispute over this decision is recorded in materials from this project series and related project series. Eventually, Parkin did participate in the construction of the National Gallery's final design, but as the minor partner in a joint venture with Moshe Safdie (see materials in project series AP018.S1.1983.PR02 in this fonds for more information). The project is recorded through drawings, including presentation boards, photographs, and textual records dating from 1974-1985. The drawings are a mix of original design drawings and site drawings. The site drawings were prepared for the competitors by Public Works Canada and the National Capital Commission. The drawings prepared by these government agencies are bilingual. The textual records primarily consist of guidelines, specifications, and other information from Public Works Canada to the competitors. The textual documentation also includes financial records and correspondence on the controversy surrounding the competition.

Reference number:
AP056.S1.1999.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Canadian Embassy in Berlin, Germany from 1999-2005. The office identified the project number as 9903. This project consisted of a new embassy building for Canada in the reunified German capital located at the junction of Leipziger Platz and Potsdamer Platz. The embassy was built in joint venture with Gagnon Letellier Cyr Architects and Smith Carter Architects and Engineers. The firms were selected for the project by the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade after a national competition was held. The competition jury had chosen a different design, by architecture firm Saucier + Perrotte.[1] The embassy, built to follow the original octagonal wall of Leipziger Platz, had a stone exterior punched with windows, as dictated by the District Office of Central Berlin's guidelines.[2] It occupied the first four floors of the Leipziger Platz block and all floors of the Ebertstrasse block. Inside, the Focus Canada Centre off the Ebertstrasse entrance served as the central government information centre and included interactive kiosks. The Embassy Reception Hall, complete was an Inuksuk at its entrance, was a space that greeted guests and provided consular services. The Canada Lounge defined the ground floor and provided a space where visitors could engage with Canadian news through newspapers, radios and televisions. The cylindrical Great Timber Hall pierced through the embassy. This wood-lined space had a sky-light ceiling to allow natural light to flow inside and served as an executive meeting room and a space for special guests, entertainment, events and exhibits. Retail spaces were also provided along Vossstrasse and a residential component made up the upper floors of Leipziger Platz. The project is recorded through a model and drawings dating from 1998-2000. The large part of these drawings are sketches, but plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are also included.
