Maison de Verre (1965, 1969)
AP197.S1.SS1
Description:
Located on 31 Rue St Guillaume in Paris, France, Maison de Verre was designed between 1928 and 1931 by furniture designer and architect Pierre Chareau, architect Bernard Bijvoet, and metal craftsman Louis Dalbet. Although the home was built, no original drawings exist for this project. In 1965, as Hodder Fellow at Princeton University, Kenneth Frampton along with Robert Vickery and Michael Carapetian measured the home and its details. Originally, their intention was that this research lead to a book project, but they later published their work as an article entitled "Maison de Verre" in a 1969 issue of Perspecta. This subseries includes measurement sketches and sixteen axonometric representations on vellum that were produced from this research. Photographs document Maison de Verre and provide various interior and exterior views of the house. Photographs by Michael Carapetian, published in the Perspecta article, “Maison de Verre (1969),” are also included in this subseries. Textual documentation includes drafts of the publication on Maison de Verre, as well as notes, correspondence, and various research files on Paul Nelson, Pierre Chareau, and Maison de Verre.

Project
AP018.S1.1983.PR07
Description:
This project series documents alterations to terminals one and two of the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1983-1984. The office identified the project number as 8313. Since the early 1960s, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, had been commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services (now Transport Canada) to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of changes made to both of those terminals. Alterations at terminal one included alterations to the medical clinic at the basement level and discussion of mending the ceilings at the departures level. Alterations to terminal two included the expansion of retail concession space and the extension of the transborder airside corridor. The project is recorded through drawings, a photograph of a terminal interior, and textual records dating from 1983-1984. The drawings are arranged within the textual materials. The textual records consist of specifications, conference reports, site reports, contract and tender documents, consultancy records and construction notes.
