Description:
This project series documents the control tower at the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga from 1958-1964. The office identified the project number as 5872. This project consisted of a 100 foot high control tower built onto a single storey building totalling 30,600 square feet in size. The reinforced concrete tower was hexagonal in shape with a steel frame and reinforced concrete slab floor. A transparent skydome forms the ceiling of the central lobby, providing a view of the floor and supporting shafts of the tower. This project won a Silver Massey Medal for Architecture in 1964 and recognition from Canadian Architect magazine and the Beautify Toronto Campaign for its significance. The project is recorded through a presentation board of a photo of the skydome dating from around 1964.

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 project series documents the general design for Crabtree & Evelyn stores across the Unites States from 1997-1998. The office identified the project number as 9716. This project consisted of the prototype design for the cosmetic and homecare stores. It was first implemented in Philadelphia, with subsequent stores in Roseville, Minnesota, Farmington, Connecticut and Raleigh, North Carolina following a similar design. These stores had custom display furnishings and fixtures including leaf-shaped tables, wavy tables, round cash counters, curved wood shelves in the corners and beech wood and sandblasted glass shelves lining the walls. The project is recorded through drawings and accompanying textual records dating from 1997-1998. The drawings include sketches, plans, elevations, perspectives, furnishings, details and construction drawings.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Reisman-Jenkinson residence and studio located at 92 Westwood Lane in Richmond Hill, Ontario from 1988-1991. The office identified the project number as 8813. This project consisted of a house and an attached studio with split-face concrete block exteriors for sculptor Stephen Jenkinson and writer Dolly Reisman. The house was divided into four wings, referred to in the documentation as Building A, Building B, Building C, and Building D. Building A was the studio at the front of the property, which had a distinctive marquis roof made of metal that fanned into a skylight. Building B, the main living area, was a loft-style building that included the kitchen, dining room, living room and conservatory on the ground floor and an office and storage spaces in the basement. This building was marked by large glass walls at the front of the property and a pyramid-shaped skylight above the kitchen. Building C extended towards the back of the property and was considered the sleeping wing, housing bedrooms at the ground floor and a playroom in the basement. Finally, Building D, which sat on the back corner of Building C, was the master bedroom and included a gym at the basement level. Buildings B, C, and D created a semi circle whose interior contained an exterior courtyard and gardens. Multiple schemes were investigated for this project, including different layouts of the basements and the ground floor of Building C. The project is recorded through original drawings, textual records and photographs dating from 1988-1991. The drawings document the design and construction of the home and include plans, sections, elevations, axonometric drawings and perspectives of interiors, exteriors and furnishings. Also present are structural, electrical and mechanical drawings issued for construction. Textual records are included to support the drawings. The photographs show the completed home.

Description:
The project series documents the 1979 design entry for the Görlitzer Bad swimming pool. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 48/70; in the past the office identified the project as number 159. The office assigned the date 1979 for this project. This project was submitted to the International Architectural Exhibition Berlin competition (International Bauaustellung, IBA, circa 1979-1987), an urban renewal strategy for West Berlin, Germany. Siza would later submit proposals to the IBA for Block 70 and 89 (Fränkelufer residential complex), Block 121 (Bonjour Tristesse), Block 11-12 (Kottbusser Damm), Monument to Gestapo victims Prinz- Albrecht-Palais, and a proposal for the Kulturforum. The Görlitzer Bad swimming pool was Siza's first international project and first competition. Preceding the IBA competition, Siza attended the 1976 International Design Zentrum (IDZ) symposium in Berlin, "Stadtstruktur-Stadtgestalt". Brigitte Fleck, responsible for national and international architecture competitions for the Senate of Berlin (1971-1985), invited Siza to participate in the IBA competition to design the swimming pool for Kreuzberg. Fleck had heard of Siza’s participation in the IDZ symposium and became interested in Siza’s work with the Servicio Ambulatorio de Apio Lokal (SAAL). By this time Siza’s work with SAAL had been published in the December 1976 and March 1978 publications of the Lotus International Quarterly Architectural Review (numbers 13 and 18). Fleck felt that Siza's work with SAAL would be relevant to the IBA. In 1979, Siza entered his design for the Görlitzer Bad swimming pool to be built on a vacant area on the east side of Kreuzberg. The design for the pool was strongly opposed by the public because the dome over the main swimming pool was said to resemble a mosque. This area of Kreuzberg was largely populated by Turkish Muslims and there was hostility towards this immigrant community. Although Siza’s entry went through the first round of the IBA competition, it did not win the competition and was only awarded a special prize. The project series contains sketches and studies, as well as conceptual and design development drawings of elevations, site plans, and floor plans. Documentation for the competition includes site plans for the competition and a strata plan. The photographs, negatives, contact sheets, and slides mostly document the model and drawings for the project.
