AP180.S1
Description:
This series documents the architectural projects of Umberto Riva from the 1960s to the mid-2000s. Most of these projects were undertaken for sites in Italy, with the exception of Apartment Mieli (1994) in the United States and a project for a new settlement in the Oued Touil valley, Algeria (1980). The series contains original drawings and some reprographic copies for various private residences, such as Casa Frea (1983) and Casa Insinga (1987) in Milan. Riva's projects for industrial buildings are also represented, for example his work for the thermoelectric power plant Centrale Edison in Torviscosa, Italy (2003). Also documented are Riva's designs for public spaces, such as his work for the Piazza San Nazaro (1989) in Milan and proposals for the redevelopment of historical neighbourhoods in Otranto (1987) and in Binago (1988), as well as designs for shops and private entreprises. Furthermore, this series contains materials related to redesigns for gallery spaces, such as redesigns for the Centro Palladio in Vicenza (1999) and the Palazzo dell'Arte in Milan (1995). Projects for exhibition installations by Riva are arranged in series AP180.S3.

Project
AP178.S1.1983.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the Plano de Expansão da Cidade de Macau (Areia P. e Porto E.) in Macau, China. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 16/80. The office assigned the date 1982 to this project. Macau is a Chinese-Portuguese peninsula near the Pear River Delta on the south coast of China. After 1950, the speedy industrial growth caused massive waves of immigration and created housing problems. Macau's governement wanted to reorganize the urban landscape in order to readapt the territory to the economic and political realities. Siza was hired by the P&T Group as part of a team of specialist-consultants to rethink the districts of Areia Preta and Porto Exterior. A first proposal was submitted in 1984. The proposed plans were accepted by the authorities years later, but never realized due to the construction of hotels and casinos instead of housing. Documenting this project are studies, plans and project site plans. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models and project site. These materials date from 1981-2012.

AP165.S7.SS1
Description:
The Drawings and scripts sub-series, 1980 – 2000, consists of 2538 digital files (2 GB) that document Hoberman’s work in AutoCAD to create his patented transformable designs. The majority of records are AutoCAD drawing files and AutoLISP scripts, dating from the mid to late 1990s. Drawings in the sub-series comprise a variety of Hoberman’s expanding installations, toy products and architectural structures, as well as a series of industrial patents and production drawings that detail the manufacturing and assembly of parts. AutoLISP scripts included in the sub-series were written and used by Hoberman for customized command within the AutoCAD environment as the in-program language. These scripts allowed Hoberman to solve the complex mathematical and geometrical calculations necessary to control the design and engineering of each component of his structures. Notable projects include: Iris Dome at Expo 2000 World's Fair, Hanover (2000); Expanding Hypar at California Science Center, Los Angeles (1998); Expanding Helicoid at Inventor's Hall of Fame, Akron (1998); Expanding Fabric Dome at Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (1997); Iris Dome at Museum of Modern Art, New York (1994); Geodesic Sphere at Technorama der Shweiz, Winterthur (1993); and Expanding Sphere at Liberty Science Center, Jersey City (1991).

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the British Columbia Institute of Technology (B.C.I.T.) site at the Discovery Parks Multi Tenant Facility, located on Willingdon Avenue, in Burnaby, British Columbia. Created in 1979, Discovery Parks is an organization with the mission to accomodate scientific and technological research activities by building and renting research installations. Initially founded by the provincial government, Discovery Parks became self-governning and independant in 1990. Oberlander worked on the Discovery Parks B.C.I.T's site from 1979-1984 with Russell Vandiver Architects. The concept of B.C.I.T's site was to create a park like environment for an industrial research site. The site was surrounded by a woodland and included a wetland. To reflect the existing condition of her landscape design, Oberlander added a rentention pool and a restored woodland, creating a urban forest using native plants. The project was completed in 1982. The project series contains textual documents, such as correspondence with client and architects, financial documents, minutes of meetings, specifications and Oberlander's concept notes. The project is also documented through working drawings, including grading plans, irrigation plans, landscape plans and sites plans. It also included reference drawings of the site, photographs of the completed landscape and a mounted photographs of the a section of the landscape design by Oberlander.
