AP086.S2
Description:
Cette série contient des documents de deux natures. D'abord, les 26 photographies que Blaise Marchand a colligées alors qu'il était architecte en chef pour l'entretien au ministère des Travaux publics du Québec (1945-1968), illustrent principalement les différentes décorations temporaires installées sur les façades de l'Hôtel du Parlement à Québec, et dans les environs, à l'occasion d'événements spéciaux entre 1949 et 1960 [1963]. Pour la grande majorité, les photographies ont été réalisées par le Service de ciné-photographie de l'Office provincial de publicité du Québec, mais aussi par le ministère des Travaux publics - Service des architectes, ainsi que par le photographe Michel, photographie artistique et commerciale (Québec) et par le studio Photo Montcalm (Québec). Ensuite, les trois publications et le manuscrit ([1956]-1963) conservés dans la série documentent l'intérêt que Marchand portait à l'urbanisme et à la conservation et la restauration du patrimoine bâti. Les titres entre guillemets ont été tirés des légendes qui accompagnaient les photographies lorsque les documents sont arrivés aux archives.

Original directory name: "18_AN- Ausführende Firmen". File consists of records related to the construction, or execution, phase of the BMW Welt project. There are five high-level directories, identified with numerical codes and which element of the construction is being addressed by the records: construction signs, facade engineering, foundations, structural work, and facade steel construction. The firms include Werbetechnik Deger, Bauer, and Maurer Söhne. The bulk of the records is found under the "3060_Stahlbau_Fassade_MSG" directory, consisting of CAD drawings and 3D models for the roof support head points, the service walkways, cover panels, placement of security cameras, the internal helix, the drainage system, etc. These are CAD files, screen captures, and annotated digitisations of printed drawings, the latter two showing very specific details of the structure. There are approximately 500 plotter files in directories "3017 Fassadentechnik" (facade engineering) and "3060_Stahlbau_Fassade_MSG/I_Pläne/Ausgang", some being in archive files (.zip). Files also include some textual records, such as lists, presentations, and correspondence between stakeholders. Most common file formats: JPEG File Interchange Format, Hewlett Packard Vector Graphic Plotter File, Acrobat PDF 1.3 - Portable Document Format, AutoCAD Drawing, Acrobat PDF 1.4 - Portable Document Format
