DR1985:0288
Description:
- This preparatory drawing shows an oblique bird's-eye view for the north side of Fallingwater, a three-storey single-family dwelling designed as a part masonry, part cantilevered concrete slab construction. Rough quarry stone walls form a series of staggered blind screens which protect the privacy of the family sleeping quarters on the second and third floors. A broad concrete slab (later built as concrete trellis beams) serves doubly as bridge and canopy over the main entrance below.

Project
AP018.S1.1958.PR04
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.
