Synopsis:
The fonds documents architectural projects from 1955-1969 by the Montréal-based firm of Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Sise. Most of the 44 projects are located in Canada, and include major buildings such as Place Ville Marie, Place Bonaventure, and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Two projects are in Italy, and there is a proposed exhibition pavilion for Osaka, Japan. The fonds consists primarily of architectural drawings - design development, presentation and working drawings - and some presentation panels probably used for exhibition purposes.

Description:
This drawing entitled "sketch proposals" is apparently a preliminary design proposal for a stage and upper gallery within a building located on Hanover Square, New York. Ground floor and first floor plans and two rough interior axonometric views of the stage and gallery are included. It cannot be determined from the drawing if the design is for the interior of an existing structure. The scope of Price's design responsibilities are also undetermined. The drawing is numbered '07' and is presumably one of at least six other drawings which are not part of the CCA's collections.
