Description:
Series consists of records documenting two of Kivi Sotamaa and OCEAN North’s projects: the Open Arena – Töölö Football Stadium and the Terra Cultura – Jyväskylä Music and Art Centre. Both projects were international architectural competitions worked on concurrently in 1997. The collaborative process around these projects allowed exploring design methods through the usage of digital tools. Records, for the most part, consist of digital files and show the design process for both projects. In discussions with Greg Lynn, Johan Bettum and Kivi Sotamaa have expressed that they had broached Töölö as a landscape and Jyväskylä as a cloud. Altogether, this vision is visible in the digital drawings for both projects, although more predominantly in the Jyväskylä records which also includes detailed plans. For both projects, digital drawings and models were created using CAD software (Microstation, form*Z, 3D Studio). Many drawings were saved exclusively as raster or vector images. Project records include physical drawings. For Töölö, drawings show mainly the work on the shape of the structure and include printouts from CAD drawings. These are partial plans and sections. The records for Jyväskylä include sections and plans of the different levels of the building as well as an annotated sketch. Textual records in Series 2 provide more context for the design process and the creation and use of methodologies such as particle streaming, used in the design process for Jyväskylä, and Channelling Systems, used in the design process for Töölö.

DR1988:0015:001-029
Description:
Part of a miscellaneous group of visual and textual documents collected by Oswald Mathias Ungers, apparently to represent the work of artists/architects in Die gläserne Kette. Primarily formal studies and other material relating to projects for buildings but also includes biographical material. Includes 17 drawings, 12 photographs, 9 prints, and 4 sheets of text. Most of the drawings are studies of architectonic massing of forms, a few are identified by project name, such as "Das Maler Haus" (the Painter's house) and the Christian Science Cathedral. Design of the subject of the photograph, drawing, or reproduction is attributed to Carl Krayl, following Ungers's attributions, unless otherwise stated. Many of the works in this group are inscribed with the name "Krayl" in blue ball-point pen; this might be the hand-writing of Frau L. Krayl who wrote the note on DR1988:0015:026 R/V. The photographs DR1988:0015:001 to DR1988:0015:006 are of the same model. Tim Benson has suggested that the model is a competition entry for changes to Alexanderplatz, Berlin (Shubert). DR1988:0015:007 to DR1988:0015:009 illustrate different views of the same plaster model. DR1988:0015:010 appears to be a photograph of a model for "Das Maler Haus", which is represented by the prints DR1988:0015:024 and DR1988:0015:025.

Description:
This project series documents buildings for Concordia University's downtown campus in Montréal from 2000-2009. The office identified the project number as 0004. This project eventually became known as Le Quartier Concordia. This project was the winning submission of an architectural competition by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, in joint-venture with Fichten Soiferman et Associés Architectes, to design an integrated, vertical campus to revitalize and reinvent the University. This project consisted of three interconnected high-rise buildings on either side of Montreal's Guy Street, below De Maisonneuve Boulevard, to rehouse three important faculties: Visual Arts, Engineering and Computer Science, and the John Molson School of Business. These three buildings had glazed curtain wall exteriors with copper-coloured metal lines that created visual consistency inside and outside of all three buildings. Large art installations were also included on the façades. Triple-height atriums on the ground floors of the Engineering Building and the John Molson building added welcoming, public areas to the campus, and connected pedestrians to the Guy-Concordia metro station below. The tops of these two buildings featured massive north-south canopies that pointed from Montreal's Mont Royal down to the St. Lawrence River. The shorter Visual Arts building was directly connected to the Engineering building and today they are known together as the EV Building. The building interiors, comprised largely of stone tiles and concrete, featured large, multi-storey spiral staircases in a nod to the famous exterior spiral stairs of Montreal homes.[1] The Engineering and Visual Arts buildings were completed in 2005 and the John Molson building in 2009. Recladding of the exterior of another campus building to match these was completed in 2011.[2] It should be noted that these project materials were donated to the CCA part way through the project's realization. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 2000-2003. The drawings are mostly originals but reprographic copies and printouts of CAD drawings are also included. The drawings consist of sketches, digital renderings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and construction drawings. The textual records are arranged within the drawings and consist of research.

Description:
This project series documents buildings for Concordia University's downtown campus in Montréal from 2000-2009. The office identified the project number as 0004. This project eventually became known as Le Quartier Concordia. This project was the winning submission of an architectural competition by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, in joint-venture with Fichten Soiferman et Associés Architectes, to design an integrated, vertical campus to revitalize and reinvent the University. This project consisted of three interconnected high-rise buildings on either side of Montreal's Guy Street, below De Maisonneuve Boulevard, to rehouse three important faculties: Visual Arts, Engineering and Computer Science, and the John Molson School of Business. These three buildings had glazed curtain wall exteriors with copper-coloured metal lines that created visual consistency inside and outside of all three buildings. Large art installations were also included on the façades. Triple-height atriums on the ground floors of the Engineering Building and the John Molson building added welcoming, public areas to the campus, and connected pedestrians to the Guy-Concordia metro station below. The tops of these two buildings featured massive north-south canopies that pointed from Montreal's Mont Royal down to the St. Lawrence River. The shorter Visual Arts building was directly connected to the Engineering building and today they are known together as the EV Building. The building interiors, comprised largely of stone tiles and concrete, featured large, multi-storey spiral staircases in a nod to the famous exterior spiral stairs of Montreal homes.[1] The Engineering and Visual Arts buildings were completed in 2005 and the John Molson building in 2009. Recladding of the exterior of another campus building to match these was completed in 2011.[2] It should be noted that these project materials were donated to the CCA part way through the project's realization. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 2000-2003. The drawings are mostly originals but reprographic copies and printouts of CAD drawings are also included. The drawings consist of sketches, digital renderings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and construction drawings. The textual records are arranged within the drawings and consist of research.

Description:
The project series documents Poli's work on the Interplanetary Architecture project, which was also made into a film by Superstudio directed by Alessandro Poli (the film is not included in the fonds). The project reflects Poli's deep fascination with the moon landing in 1969. Poli uses this major media event as a catalyst for thinking about a new approach to architecture and tools for design, including the idea that film and the movie camera should become part of the toolset. The project also seems to be in some way a response to Epoch magazine's challenge for a "Primo concorso di architettura nello spazio" (the first architectural competition in space), and includes much imagery and textual references to a new road or architectural links between the earth and other planets, including an earth moon highway. In his storyboard, Poli also makes reference to his earlier Piper project, and some imagery features wheels and an amusement park. The Interplanetary Architecture project was exhibited by Superstudio in Rome in 1972 and featured in "Casabella" magazine in April 1972 (no. 364). The project was also featured in the 2010 CCA exhibition "Other Space Odysseys". In the accompanying CCA publication, Poli describes this project as "a voyage off earthbound routes in quest of architecture unfettered by the urban nightmare, by induced needs or by planning as the only tool for regulating and solving the world's problems" (Poli quoted in Borasi and Zardini, 2010, 110). Poli's work on this project is deeply tied to the Zeno project, which was also featured in this exhibition and is included in this fonds (see AP148.S1.1972.PR01). For the Zeno project, Poli envisioned a dialogue between astronaut Buzz Aldrin and an Italian peasant, Zeno of Riparbella. Poli felt that these two shared a similarity in that both their homes were isolated capsules, one that provided a lens from which to see the rest of the world and understand their place in it. The material in the series includes numerous photomontages and collages of astronauts in space, as well as drawings of plantery shapes and structures. There are also texts, some of which include calculations of distances and diameters of planets, as well as notebooks and sketchbooks, many of which Poli included in a folder he entitled "Storyboard." The series also includes an unsent letter from Poli to Adolfo Natalini which describes how, after the moon landing, everything - the planet, the moon, the stars - is architecture, and that this will necessitate the need for new design tools, such as the movie camera. Some works are signed Alessandro Poli-Superstudio.
