Description:
UNE HISTOIRE is a project consisting of photographs, photomontages, drawings and a wooden sculpture. A photograph of a worker’s house near a pulp mill in Trois-Rivières became the focus of the series. In an attempt to understand the architecture of that house, and how industrialization was being reflected in the architecture of Québec, Charney went to visit the house in 1974, only to find it had already been torn down. Charney photographed its surroundings and tried to reproduce its likeness in drawings. Unsatisfied with the results, he built a wooden sculpture (UNE HISTOIRE…Le trésor de Trois-Rivières, 1975), a replica of the house, in an attempt to fully “know” and understand the structure.

Description:
Cette série porte sur le travail de documentation photographique de Robert Duchesnay du dôme géodésique du pavilon des États-Unis à l'exposition universelle de 1967 (Expo 67) à Montréal, au Québec. Le dôme, conçu par Buckminster Fuller, mesure 249 pieds de diamètre et 200 pieds de hauteur. Un incendie en 1976 détruit de revêtement de polymère du dôme et ne laisse que la structure en acier. En 1990, la structure est intégrée à l'aménagement du bâtiment d'un musée du l'environnement et les enjeux socio-environnementaux contemporains, la Biosphère. La série contient une sélection d'images de la série intitulée Dome Project élaborée entre 1983 et 1992. Cette série, qui compte 25 photographies, montre le pavillon des États-Unis sous différents angles, depuis l'extérieur et l'intérieur de la structure, ainsi que plusieurs détails architecturaux. La série nous renseigne sur l'état de l'édifice après l'incendie de 1976 et avant qu'il ne soit restauré entre 1993 et 1995 pour devenir la Biosphère; elle nous renseigne aussi sur la pratique artistique de Robert Duchesnay alors que sa principale préoccupation consistait à documenter l'état de ruines du pavillion des États-Unis, afin de sensibiliser l'opinion publique du danger qui menaçait l'édifice de disparaître.

Description:
This project series documents alterations to the emergency department entrance enclosure at the Etobicoke General Hospital in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1983-1984. The office identified the project number as 8322. Along with his firm, John C. Parkin began the design and construction of the Etobicoke General Hospital in 1966. Following this date, he completed numerous additional projects for the site. This project documents alterations made to the emergency department canopy and enclosure screen after the hospital's initial construction. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1976-1984. The drawings consist of elevations, plans and sections while photographs show the construction. The textual records deal primarily with construction requirements and certificates of payment for the work completed.

New Westminster Pier
New Westminster Pier
Reference number:
AP144.S2.D106
Description:
File documents a competition entry for a new pier on the Thames in the City of Westminster, London, England. The Westminster pier project consisted of a restaurant with deck and observation tower, a fixed pier or public walkway, a catwalk, various ramps, and a pontoon. Existing conditions drawings and photographs include: a hydrographic plan, site plan, and section of the pier and pier edge; an enlarged contact sheet of photographs of the site and surrounding area; and a photocopy of a photograph of a typical pier boat, possibly used for reference purposes. Conceptual sketches include numerous thumbnail and annotated diagrammatic sketches which explore the functional relationships of the areas encompassed by the project. Design development drawings show sections through river embankments, restaurant and tower structures, walkways, ramps, and catwalks, at high and low tide and at night and during the day. Axonometric drawings show the principal structures, circulation paths, and access and control points. A group of drawings are probably a competition entry set marked by a hole punched in the upper right hand corner. Presentation panels are composed of reproductions of photographs of the existing site with overdrawing and montage which shows Price's project in relationship to the river. Two presentation panels which show the walkway/ramp, pontoon, and restaurant in partial elevation have been coloured with airbrush. Duplicate reprographic copies were made from the original design development drawings, and some are annotated with notes. File also contains clippings about "sub-marine engineering" which are possibly related to this project. Material in this file was produced in 1979. File contains conceptual drawings, presentation drawings, reference drawings, presentation panels, and textual records.

Description:
The Professional papers series, circa 1950-2008, records the professional activities of Aditya Prakash throughout his career up until his death in 2008. His work in architecture, art, photography, academia and theatre are documented through textual records, drawings, photographic materials, ephemera, books, serials and sound recordings. The earliest materials in this series show Prakash’s interest in architectural photography early in his career through photographs, slides, and negatives taken by him. These materials, dating from before 1970, show most prominently his projects, people, villages and cityscapes. Materials dating from after 1968 show Prakash’s move into academia and his solo architectural career. During this time, the records document Prakash’s research interests on subjects such as urbanization, Chandigarh, the Modular and the environment, through drawings, newspaper articles, government and committee reports, correspondence and presentation materials. Likewise, his teaching is recorded through overhead transparencies, drawings and notes. The series also shows Prakash’s involvement in the professional community, including event photographs, correspondence and records documenting conferences, events and his discussion group Our Get Togethers. Correspondence with architect Charles Correa and frequent letters between Prakash and writer Mulk Raj Anand are of note here. Apart from his architectural career, Prakash’s work as a modern artist is well recorded through drawings, sketchbooks, and photographic reproductions of his art, mostly dating from after 1980. His interest in art as well as his community involvement are documented through exhibition ephemera, correspondence, and exhibition reviews and writings on his artwork. His role as the president of the Lalit Kala Akademi is also documented through publications, event photographs and correspondence. Finally, Prakash’s involvement in theatre, specifically with his amateur theatre troop Abhinet, is captured through scripts, photographs of performances and play reviews.

Description:
The Professional papers series, circa 1950-2008, records the professional activities of Aditya Prakash throughout his career up until his death in 2008. His work in architecture, art, photography, academia and theatre are documented through textual records, drawings, photographic materials, ephemera, books, serials and sound recordings. The earliest materials in this series show Prakash’s interest in architectural photography early in his career through photographs, slides, and negatives taken by him. These materials, dating from before 1970, show most prominently his projects, people, villages and cityscapes. Materials dating from after 1968 show Prakash’s move into academia and his solo architectural career. During this time, the records document Prakash’s research interests on subjects such as urbanization, Chandigarh, the Modular and the environment, through drawings, newspaper articles, government and committee reports, correspondence and presentation materials. Likewise, his teaching is recorded through overhead transparencies, drawings and notes. The series also shows Prakash’s involvement in the professional community, including event photographs, correspondence and records documenting conferences, events and his discussion group Our Get Togethers.
