Description:
- Part of a larger group of prints and other works from the design development process of Le Corbusier's unexecuted Villa Chimanbhai project, acquired from the Chimanbhai family. Included are photographs of a model, cut-outs sent to the client which demonstrate changes in the dimensions of individual rooms, and letters from the office of Le Corbusier to the client. Also includes a letter dated 1989 by B.V. Doshi indicating his interest in the project. The larger group of Chimanbhai material includes a model, which is not the model in photographs DR1990:0022:001 - DR1990:0022:004, and at least three series of prints -- some with annotated changes.

Description:
This project series documents the Sheff Residence at 105 Glen Road in Toronto from 1997-2001. The office identified the project number as 9727. This project consisted of a large home for architect Gerald Sheff and his wife Shanitha Kachan. The work included the demolition of a single-storey dwelling already on the property to create a roughly 7,900 square foot, mixed-level home. This project investigated multiple schemes for the residence, which looked at different room configurations and placements, different building heights, and different levels of finish for certain rooms. Built overlooking a ravine, the house had a stone veneer exterior with accents of wood siding and large glass windows. The home had a maximum height of two-storeys with a basement and included a swimming pool and backyard deck. This residence won the Ontario Association of Architect's Award of Excellence in 2003. The project is recorded through a model and drawings dating from 1996-2000. The majority of the drawings are sketches, but plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are included. There are also many drawings of furnishings including closets, benches and custom furniture.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Hamilton Trade Centre and Arena in Hamilton, Ontario from 1982-1985. The office identified the project number as 8207. The project consisted of a 60,000 square foot exhibition hall and arena, which had a capacity of 18,000. Opening in November 1985, the building was designed to host sports events (primarily hockey) and concerts. The project was reported to have cost $42 million. Along with Parkin Partnership as the architecture firm, John C. Parkin’s engineering company Parkin Engineers Ltd. worked as structural engineers on the project. The building, commissioned by the city of Hamilton, was officially called Copps Coliseum after the former Hamilton mayor, Victor Copps, who pushed for its creation throughout his career. In 2014, the name was changed to FirstOntario Centre. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of construction drawings, research, construction and presentation photographs, and textual records dating from 1982-1987. The textual records show design research, client correspondence, contractor work, specifications, publicity, and financial records. Any original drawings for this project are arranged within the textual records.

Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for the Mill Creek Public Housing Complex between 40th Street, Aspen Street, and Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1950s as Dan Kiley's associate. They both were consulting for Louis Kahn's office, Kahn, McAllister, Braik, & Day. The first phase of the project consisted of a complex of three seventeen-storey apartment towers accomodating 218 units on a four-acre site. The landscape design consisted of a system of pedestrian areas to connect the site with the city, including a central alley linking Fairmount Avenue to a common green space. Trees to provide shade were planted around the parking spaces and the housing towers. The project was completed in 1954, but most of the landscaping by Kiley and Oberlander was never realized. The Mill Creek complex was demolished in 2002 to make space for the new low-rise public housing development. The project series contains only two reprographic copies of landscape plans.

Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1950s as Dan Kiley's associate. They both were consulting for Louis Kahn's office, Kahn, McAllister, Braik, & Day. The first phase of the project consisted of a complex of three seventeen-storey apartment towers accomodating 218 units on a four-acre site. The landscape design consisted of a system of pedestrian areas to connect the site with the city, including a central alley linking Fairmount Avenue to a common green space. Trees to provide shade were planted around the parking spaces and the housing towers. The project was completed in 1954, but most of the landscaping by Kiley and Oberlander was never realized. The Mill Creek complex was demolished in 2002 to make space for the new low-rise public housing development. The project series contains only two reprographic copies of landscape plans.

Description:
This project series documents a new building for the Fields Institute of Research in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Toronto from 1993-1995. The office identified the project number as 9318. This project consisted of a four-storey building, characterized by a rusticated limestone and red-brick exterior, located at 222 College Street. The building's layout consisted of offices, conference rooms, classrooms, resource centres, computer training facilities, a library, and the main lobby and reception. At the core was a grand atrium with a wood-lined helical staircase that ran the height of the building, a stucco fireplace and an elliptical reception desk. Designed to encourage spontaneous thought and interaction, the institute featured slate chalkboards throughout. The roof was comprised of a Douglas fir deck on metal trusses, while the interior finishes included tiles, carpet, wood, metal, stone and concrete.[1] The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, a presentation painting and textual records dating from 1993-1996. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives and axonometric drawings. The photographic materials include images for presentation and research, while the textual records document completion schedules. [1] "Fields Institute Facilities."
