Description:
This series documents the architectural projects of Umberto Riva from the 1960s to the mid-2000s. Most of these projects were undertaken for sites in Italy, with the exception of Apartment Mieli (1994) in the United States and a project for a new settlement in the Oued Touil valley, Algeria (1980). The series contains original drawings and some reprographic copies for various private residences, such as Casa Frea (1983) and Casa Insinga (1987) in Milan. Riva's projects for industrial buildings are also represented, for example his work for the thermoelectric power plant Centrale Edison in Torviscosa, Italy (2003). Also documented are Riva's designs for public spaces, such as his work for the Piazza San Nazaro (1989) in Milan and proposals for the redevelopment of historical neighbourhoods in Otranto (1987) and in Binago (1988), as well as designs for shops and private entreprises. Furthermore, this series contains materials related to redesigns for gallery spaces, such as redesigns for the Centro Palladio in Vicenza (1999) and the Palazzo dell'Arte in Milan (1995). Projects for exhibition installations by Riva are arranged in series AP180.S3.

Description:
This project series documents an addition to the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto from 1978-1980. The office identified the project number as 7816. From 1973-1975, Parkin Architects Planners designed and constructed the Toronto Sun press plant and office building at 333 King Street East. This project documents an office addition made to the original building. This consisted of the addition of three floors to the existing three-storey structure. The top floor, the sixth, was the main focus of this project and included the executive suite with offices, a boardroom, a sunroom, and a private cafeteria. The project is recorded through drawings and textual materials dating from 1979-1982. Most drawings are reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials. The textual records consist of correspondence, site and meeting reports, financial records, change orders, contractor and consultancy records, supplementary instructions, specifications, tender documents, schedules, interoffice letters, a project notebook and project agendas. File AP018.S1.1978.PR10.002 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the garden of Mr & Mrs Wong residence on South Cambie Street in Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project in 1954-1956 with architect Harry Lee from Duncan McNab’s office. Oberlander’s concept for the landscape was to create a garden with rock outcropping, due to the complicated site on which the house was built. She “designed a main walkway paralleling the side yard property line to connect S. Cambie Street to the rear alley.” [1] The walkway, decorated with flowerpots, leads to a u-shaped paved courtyard with a central lawn area with decorative rocks. Between the expose rock at the front of the property and the façade of the house, she created a lawn area with a pathway of steppingstones at the side of house leading to the backyard. The project series contains only six drawings, including two sketches, two design development drawings of landscape plans, and working drawings for the residence used as reference. The project is also documented through photographs of the residence and the landscaping, and a plant list. Source: [1] Herrington, Susan.

Description:
The project series documents "Achipensierio" a series of installations designed by Pettena from 2001 to 2018. The installation consists of variations of a building frame either made of metal beams or trellis covered in plants or straw. The building frame is designed to change form and appears deconstructed depending on the point of view. "Described by Gianni Pettena as “a contemporary Stonehenge,” but also as “a lesson in spatial perception,” this work metaphorically reaffirms the idea that there are no longer any frontiers today, when one is referring to themes relating to physical space, between the sensibility of the architect and that of the environmental artist." [1] The "Archipensierio" installations were presented in various venues from 2001 to 2018, including: "Archipensierio 2" at the Manifesta 7 in Rovereto, in 2008; "Archipensierio 5" at the Court Carrée du Louvre, in Parigi, for FIAC 2009; and "Archipensierio 6" at the UMOCA, in Salt Lake City, in 2013. The project series contains sketches, elevations, plans, drawings and photographs of the installations. It also includes a small model for the Archipensierio I, 2001 installation.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the University of Waterloo Centre for Environmental Sciences and Engineering in Waterloo, Ontario in 1995. The office identified the project number as 9502. This project consisted of a proposal to create a new, environmentally sustainable campus building within the scope of the University's master plan. The integrated complex would consist of the five-storey Research Laboratories building and the four-storey Earth Sciences office building, interconnected by the three-storey Interior Street. Corridors in the Research Laboratories building would separate visitors from the rigorously controlled environments of the labs and act as a hub of student activity. Glazed walls would allow visibility into the labs from the corridor. The office building, with a café and museum at its ground level, would have loft-like offices with operable windows for more eco-friendly temperature control. Other ecological features were proposed including a breathing, green wall, the use of local, sustainable materials and a bio-reactor plant, among others. This proposal was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings, a model and some accompanying textual records dating from on or around 1995. The drawings are predominantly original sketches and presentation drawings.
