AP056.S1.1989.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the design of the Broadcast Centre Development on Front Street in Toronto in 1989. The office identified the project number as 8910. This project, commissioned by Graywood Developments Ltd., consisted of a mixed-use development located on the property directly east of the new CBC headquarters. This project was also referred to as the CBC/Graywood Development in the documentation and was an entry for a site development competition. The project proposed a mixed low-rise and high-rise tower that would contain a hotel and condominiums. The hotel would comprise the first six floors, creating a base for the tower, which would hold residential properties above the eighth floor recreation centre. A triple-height club lounge was proposed at the 43rd floor, visually separating the lower tower from the penthouses above it. These penthouses would be set back from the levels below with a long, pointed tower extending above them to complete the top of the building. This project was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings, a model and photographs of the model dating from 1988-1989. The drawings consist of site surveys, sketches, elevations, sections, plans, perspectives, axonometric drawings and presentation drawings

Description:
This project series documents the offices of Gluskin Sheff and Associates Inc. in Toronto from 1994-1995. The office identified the project number as 9416. Located on the 46th floor of BCE Place on Wellington Street, the offices were shaped like two conjoined octagons and were conceived as a mix of open and closed office spaces. Beech wood, panoramic views and curved lines created serenity in an attempt to offset the high-energy of daily investment activity. Similarly, custom-curved furnishings such as the trading desk added organic forms to the office environment. Sandblasted glass screens were used throughout the office to create transparency, while clear glass created openness in enclosed spaces.[1] This project was led by Marianne McKenna and Bruce Kuwabara. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records and a project model dating from 1994-1995. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, model and presentation drawings, plans, elevations, perspectives, drawings of custom furnishings and construction drawings. The textual records consist of a staffing schedule. [1]Bruce Kuwabara et al., Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna, Blumberg (Gloucester, MA: Rockport Publ., 1998), 120-127.

Description:
This project series documents the Laboratório Showroom Habitação Dimensione Fuoco in San Donà di Piave, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 39/90. The office assigned the date 1993 to this project. The firm Dimensione Fuoco Vetroveneto commissioned Siza to design the extension of a building. The design proposed by Siza was a 3000 square metre triangular building, connecting with the existing structure with a courtyard and a boundary wall. It was intended that the cultural organization Circolo Architteture would occupy the space. The program included spaces for architectural conferences and exhibitions, a library and archives. Siza was also supposed to design a sculpture in the park near the building. It is not clear if the project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and construction work.
