Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Canada Life Assurance building in Toronto in 1990. The office identified the project number as 9007. This project consisted of a proposal to renovate the existing Canada Life Assurance headquarters located in the historic Beaux-Arts style building on the corner of Queen and University Streets. This work would also include the construction of a new, 15 storey mixed-use development with approximately 1,000,000 square feet of commercial office space, retail space and a hotel. The design goal was to create an urban campus while extending the corporate headquarters. This proposal was done in joint-venture with Bregman & Hamann and was headed by Marianne McKenna and Bruce Kuwabara. This was not the winning entry for the competition and the project was eventually realized by Shore Tilbe Henshall Irwin. The project is recorded through drawings, a presentation painting and a model dating from 1988-1990. The drawings are mostly originals and consist of sketches, plans, elevations, perspectives and axonometric drawings.

CD034.S1.1975.PR02
Description:
This project series contains seven reproductions of drawings displayed in the exhibit to document the Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood, in Setúbal, south of Lisbon, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the Setúbal port-city experienced the political vibrations of the revolutionary year with great intensity. The Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood was designed for a fishing community living in a difficult area to build on due to its steep incline. The challenge that the project architect Gonçalo Byrne faced was to maintain the structure of single-family housing with the outhouse or courtyard, the typology that the local populations requested, while making a large urban gesture. The proposal was based on two types of housing (the square and rectangular plans). This overcame the problem of the 36 percent slope in an architecturally striking manner, while it also managed to fulfil the major requirement inherent in any SAAL operation of minimizing costs. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Gonçalo Byrne worked for SAAL/Lisbon and Central South with Ana Ferreira Rebocho, Berta Sá Caetano and the residents' association Casal das Figueiras, that was founded on October 30th, 1975. The project included 420 dwellings. The operation began in July 1975 , with a construction date in October 1976. This project series contains reproductions of implementation plans and design development drawings. The original drawings were produced in 1978-1979 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.
