Maison Coloniale
Maison Coloniale
Reference number:
AP066.S2.D19
Description:
Le dossier documente le projet de construction de la Maison Coloniale, une habitation associée à un atelier d'architecture et un hall d'exposition, situé au 4333 avenue Coloniale, à Montréal, Québec. Les matériaux utilisés pour réaliser cette construction sont le béton armé, l'acier et le bois. Le budget alloué pour ce projet était de 300 000$ et la superficie est de 340 mètres carrés. Aussi, le projet s'est mérité le Prix d'architecture du Gouverneur général du Canada. Le dossier contient des dessins, des reprographies, des photographies, des documents textuels, des maquettes et un négatif. Description du projet par l'architecte: "En concevant la Maison Coloniale, entre autres choses qui s'y trouvent inscrites, j'ai pensé à l'état des métiers. La solidarité qui nous lie est tellement ténue, les savoir-faire se déplacent, les langages s'autonomisent. Ici la structure de béton n'aura pour but structural que de survivre à sa peine : le squelette est dehors, qu'est-ce que cela veut nous dire? Partout la division, la séparation des éléments. La juxtaposition, la superposition et la répétition forment un langage dans le langage. Tout y est contact de points et de surface, d'appuis et d'ancrages. Le squelette est dehors, le corps est dedans. Qu'est-ce que cela veut nous dire? La Maison nous dit la nature de notre côtoiement. Elle nous rappelle nos liens possibles et nous apprend qu'à force de séparation, tout s'unit. Elle nous indique la distance qu'il nous reste à franchir pour se toucher et s'émouvoir. Elle est comme vous et moi, un peu résistante et prête à tout donner. Elle nous dit la convivialité et nous rappelle nos moyens d'humains. Elle nous rappelle que c'est nous qui l'avons faite!" Jacques Rousseau, "Éthique et tact", dans Architecture, éthique et technologie, édité par Louise Pelletier et Alberto Pérez-Gómez, McGill-Queen's University Press, Montréal, 1994, p. 137-150.

AP194.S1.1997.PR01
Description:
Project records document OCEAN North’s design for their competition entry for the Töölö Football Stadium in Helsinki in 1997. The project was titled Open Arena by OCEAN North. The site for the football stadium was in the Töölö neighbourhood and adjoining the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, located in a park area. OCEAN North’s entry was a building that would integrate with its natural surroundings while being able to accommodate a variety of activities and events. The structure has three topological surfaces that were devised through an iterative process: initial drawings made in Adobe Illustrator, modelling made with form*Z and manually transferred on Plexiglas sections, modifications made on the Plexiglas sections captured back into the CAD drawing, etc. At some point in the design process, the Channelling Systems approach was developed and used to analyze the structure’s dynamic relationship with its surroundings. Records show different stages of the design process and include at least one photograph of the Plexiglas sections referenced above. Digital files are grouped according to their function: Channelling Systems analysis, 2D graft spatial exploration, and plans and sections. There are also libraries of images and textures which may have been used for other drawings and models. Over half of the files are raster or vector images likely created by CAD software. This includes images of renderings. CAD drawings are in the native Microstation format, although one is in form*Z format. Textual records present the project and for the most part are the accompanying documentation for the competition entry, including legends for plans and sections. Timestamps for some of the digital files extend past the date of the competition. It is likely that these dates reflect when files were transferred to the Jaz drive for storage.

Description:
File documents the partially executed project for the Restricted International Competition "South Friedrichstadt as a Place to Live and Work," West Berlin (now Berlin), West Germany (now in Germany). Material in this file was produced between 1980 and 1988. File documents the design for one of four urban blocks in the area of the Kochstrasse and Friedrichstrasse, Berlin. The competition required the preservation of three existing structures and the construction of mixed-used buildings on vacant lots. The architect develops an overall strategy to occupy the urban block by extending the geometry of the three existing buildings onto the site (DR1991:0018:002; DR1991:0018:004-006), on which he overlays what he calls the "Mercator grid", an orthogonal grid oriented according to the compass (DR1991:0018:016). The "el structures" used by Eisenman in House X, House 11a, and the Cannaregio project reappear in plan, and later as forms emerging from the square compartments delimited by the "Mercator grid", this time developed three-dimensionally (House X, 1975-1977, DR1994:0138:001-1546; House 11a, 1978, DR1994:0139:001-303; Cannaregio project, 1978, DR1991:0017:001-094). After finalizing the urban concept, Eisenman concentrates his efforts on the planning of individual buildings, developing the massing of the building facing Kochstrasse in a series of axonometrics (DR1991:0018:088-092), sections (DR1991:0018:088) and facade studies (DR1991:0018:204-210). A series of scrolled drawings study the L-shaped elements and thin slabs with characteristically gridded surfaces found in House X (DR1991:0018:204 and DR1991:0018:209-210). File contains record drawings, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, schematic drawings, competition drawings, presentation drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

Description:
Series consist of records associated with different projects devised by OCEAN and OCEAN North prior to 1999 and retained as reference material by Johan Bettum, who did not collaborate on every project. Records occasionally include some photographs, but for the most part are images from work done with CAD software. These include plans, diagrams, renderings and views (sections, perspectives) of buildings, landscapes, exhibition scenography, and exhibited items. The amount and type of materials varies largely between projects. Files were transferred to CCA on a CD and their timestamps suggests that materials were copied for reference purpose in the first few months of 1998. The CD cover bears the date of June 3rd 1999. Projects date from 1994 to 1998. Projects included in the reference files are: Barbican, London (OCEAN Helsinki): likely an exhibition design. Museum, Buenos Aires (OCEAN U.K., 1997): a building design for a competition. Finnish Embassy, Canberra (OCEAN Oslo & Helsinki, 1996): an international architectural competition entry. Helsinki Nightclub (OCEAN Helsinki): a building design. Jeil’s Hospital, Seoul (OCEAN U.K., 1996): a building design. Jyväskylä Music and Arts Center (OCEAN Oslo & Helsinki, 1997): an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. Lasipalatsi Media Square (OCEAN U.K.): a landscape design. Synthetic Landscape I-II, Oslo (OCEAN Oslo, 1995-1996): a landscape design. See also Series 1 for more records on this research project. Surfscape, Helsinki (OCEAN Helsinki, 1997): sculpture for an exhibition. Töölö Football Stadium, Hels. (OCEAN Oslo & Helsinki, 1997): an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. Urban Surfaces, Oslo (OCEAN, 1997-1998): photographs of an exhibition.

Series consist of records associated with different projects devised by OCEAN and OCEAN North prior to 1999 and retained as reference material by Johan Bettum, who did not collaborate on every project. Records occasionally include some photographs, but for the most part are images from work done with CAD software. These include plans, diagrams, renderings and views (sections, perspectives) of buildings, landscapes, exhibition scenography, and exhibited items. The amount and type of materials varies largely between projects. Files were transferred to CCA on a CD and their timestamps suggests that materials were copied for reference purpose in the first few months of 1998. The CD cover bears the date of June 3rd 1999. Projects date from 1994 to 1998. Projects included in the reference files are: Barbican, London (OCEAN Helsinki): likely an exhibition design. Museum, Buenos Aires (OCEAN U.K., 1997): a building design for a competition. Finnish Embassy, Canberra (OCEAN Oslo & Helsinki, 1996): an international architectural competition entry. Helsinki Nightclub (OCEAN Helsinki): a building design. Jeil’s Hospital, Seoul (OCEAN U.K., 1996): a building design. Jyväskylä Music and Arts Center (OCEAN Oslo & Helsinki, 1997): an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. Lasipalatsi Media Square (OCEAN U.K.): a landscape design. Synthetic Landscape I-II, Oslo (OCEAN Oslo, 1995-1996): a landscape design. See also Series 1 for more records on this research project. Surfscape, Helsinki (OCEAN Helsinki, 1997): sculpture for an exhibition. Töölö Football Stadium, Hels. (OCEAN Oslo & Helsinki, 1997): an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. Urban Surfaces, Oslo (OCEAN, 1997-1998): photographs of an exhibition.

Description:
Series consists of reference documentation in the form of portfolios of selected materials from various OCEAN North projects. It is likely that Kivi Sotamaa did not contribute to all of the included projects. For the most part, records are images of work done with CAD software: preliminary drawings; fully developed plans and renderings of buildings; landscapes; and installations. Images also include digitized photographs of models and installations. Content from AP198.S2.001 – OCEAN North Portfolio 1999 consists primarily of this type of visual material and is organized per project. Additionally, a few textual records describe some of the projects. There are two versions of a general presentation document in Pagemaker. Content from AP198.S2.002 – OCEAN North Press CD 2000 is organized into three sections: “about'OCEANnorth”, “OCEANnorth_Essays”, and “OCEANnorth_Projects”. This last directory is further organized by year and by project, each project having a text and an image sub-directory. Overall, there are 48 textual records describing the network, its vision and its projects, alongside more than 200 raster images. The Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre competition entry was not included in this project selection. The following projects are documented in this series: - Töölö Football Stadium, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Extraterrains, a furniture design project. - Finnish Embassy in Canberra, an international architectural competition entry. - Habitare Pavilion (1996 and 1997), exhibitions installations. - Chamberworks, an architectural installation for an exhibition. - a-drift NYT Time Capsule, a competition entry for a time capsule for the New York Times. - Synthetic Landscape Pavilion and Phases 1, 2 and 3, a landscape design. - Sandefjord Hotel, preliminary design. - Landscraper, design study for an exhibition. - IntenCities, multidisciplinary installation project. - Barbican’s Valo exhibition design. - Constantini (sic) Museum, a building design for a competition. - Kyoto, a study of urban design. - Jeil’s Hospital, a building design. - Urban Surfaces exhibition.

Description:
The Project records from Neil Denari series, 1994 – 2004, consists of records produced by Denari for his show “Interrupted Projections” at Gallery MA in Tokyo, Japan. It documents the development and final design for the principal architectural installation built on the third level of the gallery, as well as related materials displayed on the gallery’s fourth floor. The series also contains photographic and video documentation of the exhibit, the show catalogue, and promotional materials. The series includes 4003 digital files (1 GB), 53 slides, 21 transparencies, seven drawings and/or reprographic copies, two VHS video cassettes, one exhibition catalogue, and a small amount of promotional material comprising one large and two small posters, one postcard, and one t-shirt. The majority of records date from 1994-1996. Denari used a combination of physical drawings and digital modelling to draft the design for Interrupted Projections. The series contains one ink drawing and one transfer print with plans and sections of the third floor gallery space, two reprographic copies of drawings with elevations and plans of existing conditions of the third and fourth floors at Gallery MA, and three graphite hand drawings of the installation. Digital files in the series include two original Softimage databases containing full and partial 3D models of the installation, as well as one forward-migrated database containing models compiled from the two original databases. The original models were created in Softimage ’95 on Windows NT and will not open in contemporary versions of Autodesk Softimage. The forward-migrated model database was created by members of Autodesk’s Montreal office for the Archaeology of the Digital exhibition Complexity and Convention and will open in Softimage 2014. Each Softimage model database is made up of several directories that contain information necessary to render all models and their animation into a “scene” (such as textures, lighting, camera movements, etc.). When the Interrupted Projections models were migrated, the information from all directories in both original databases was compiled into the Scenes directory of a single database. These updated scene files (SCN) contain all the elements needed to render the models without the need for additional directories. Each scene file has a corresponding scene TOC file (scene table of content), which can be used to further modify the information in the scene. Scene files in the migrated database contain full and partial models for Interrupted Projections, including one animated scene that follows a camera path through the interior and exterior of the final model. These files document the various stages of design work for the project, as well as Denari’s use of animation features in Softimage to visualize and study the spatial character of his drawings. Project collaborator Duks Koschitz created additional animations of the model that were edited and shown on the fourth floor of the exhibition. A compilation of his work is included on a VHS tape in the archive. The video, which spans one minute 16 seconds, contains four animations that move around the 3D gallery space. Koschitz attempted to reflect the concerns of the project in the movements of the camera, focusing on details such as the fictional company logos or curvatures in the surface of the model. The majority of photographic materials in the series are digital renderings of the model, comprising 38 slides, 14 diapositives, and seven digital images. Photographic materials also include images of the completed show, including seven diapositives that document the built work from various views on the third floor of Gallery MA, as well as the exhibition of materials on the fourth floor. A small number of slides document the exhibit open to the public, and include images of visitors interacting with the Sony Navicam. Most of the diapositive photographs and a small number of slides were taken by Fujitsuka Mitsumasa, a photographer of architecture based in Tokyo. A second VHS tape in the archive provides in-depth documentation of the Interrupted Projections exhibition, containing 45 minutes of raw video footage that explores Gallery MA and surrounding areas of Tokyo. The Interrupted Projections book contains in print the text and images from the installation and website. It was written by Denari and designed by Michiharu Shimoda, a graphic designer and underground trip-hop artist who was also responsible for the design of the fictional logos used in the exhibit. The book acts as an extension of the content of the show, as well as exhibition catalogue, and covers Denari’s other projects represented in the show. The series also contains a small amount of promotional media for Interrupted Projections, including one large and two small posters, a postcard, and a t-shirt.

The original models were created in Softimage ’95 on Windows NT and will not open in contemporary versions of Autodesk Softimage. The forward-migrated model database was created by members of Autodesk’s Montreal office for the Archaeology of the Digital exhibition Complexity and Convention and will open in Softimage 2014. Each Softimage model database is made up of several directories that contain information necessary to render all models and their animation into a “scene” (such as textures, lighting, camera movements, etc.). When the Interrupted Projections models were migrated, the information from all directories in both original databases was compiled into the Scenes directory of a single database. These updated scene files (SCN) contain all the elements needed to render the models without the need for additional directories. Each scene file has a corresponding scene TOC file (scene table of content), which can be used to further modify the information in the scene. Scene files in the migrated database contain full and partial models for Interrupted Projections, including one animated scene that follows a camera path through the interior and exterior of the final model. These files document the various stages of design work for the project, as well as Denari’s use of animation features in Softimage to visualize and study the spatial character of his drawings. Project collaborator Duks Koschitz created additional animations of the model that were edited and shown on the fourth floor of the exhibition. A compilation of his work is included on a VHS tape in the archive. The video, which spans one minute 16 seconds, contains four animations that move around the 3D gallery space. Koschitz attempted to reflect the concerns of the project in the movements of the camera, focusing on details such as the fictional company logos or curvatures in the surface of the model. The majority of photographic materials in the series are digital renderings of the model, comprising 38 slides, 14 diapositives, and seven digital images. Photographic materials also include images of the completed show, including seven diapositives that document the built work from various views on the third floor of Gallery MA, as well as the exhibition of materials on the fourth floor. A small number of slides document the exhibit open to the public, and include images of visitors interacting with the Sony Navicam. Most of the diapositive photographs and a small number of slides were taken by Fujitsuka Mitsumasa, a photographer of architecture based in Tokyo. A second VHS tape in the archive provides in-depth documentation of the Interrupted Projections exhibition, containing 45 minutes of raw video footage that explores Gallery MA and surrounding areas of Tokyo. The Interrupted Projections book contains in print the text and images from the installation and website. It was written by Denari and designed by Michiharu Shimoda, a graphic designer and underground trip-hop artist who was also responsible for the design of the fictional logos used in the exhibit. The book acts as an extension of the content of the show, as well as exhibition catalogue, and covers Denari’s other projects represented in the show. The series also contains a small amount of promotional media for Interrupted Projections, including one large and two small posters, a postcard, and a t-shirt.

Description:
The Project records from Neil Denari series, 1994 – 2004, consists of records produced by Denari for his show “Interrupted Projections” at Gallery MA in Tokyo, Japan. It documents the development and final design for the principal architectural installation built on the third level of the gallery, as well as related materials displayed on the gallery’s fourth floor. The series also contains photographic and video documentation of the exhibit, the show catalogue, and promotional materials. The series includes 4003 digital files (1 GB), 53 slides, 21 transparencies, seven drawings and/or reprographic copies, two VHS video cassettes, one exhibition catalogue, and a small amount of promotional material comprising one large and two small posters, one postcard, and one t-shirt. The majority of records date from 1994-1996. Denari used a combination of physical drawings and digital modelling to draft the design for Interrupted Projections. The series contains one ink drawing and one transfer print with plans and sections of the third floor gallery space, two reprographic copies of drawings with elevations and plans of existing conditions of the third and fourth floors at Gallery MA, and three graphite hand drawings of the installation. Digital files in the series include two original Softimage databases containing full and partial 3D models of the installation, as well as one forward-migrated database containing models compiled from the two original databases.
