Description:
This series documents nine projects by the firm Vecsei Architects. In 1984, Eva Hollo Vecsei and André Vecsei opened a joint practice, Vecsei Architects. Both architects retired in 2005. Together they worked on several major planning studies, such as Les Hautières du Mont-Royal, Montréal, Québec (circa 1983-1988) and the Genome Centre and the Lorne M. Trottier Building, Montréal (1999-2000), documented in this series. Les Hautières du Mont-Royal was a residential complex adjacent to Montréal's Golden Square Mile, on Cedar Avenue. The project consisted of nine staggering buildings (29 villas) around a landscaped European-style courtyard on a sloping site facing Mount Royal while also preserving a turn of the century landmark situated within the Mount Royal Heritage Site . The project is also known as "Projet Cours Cedar". Through the Genome Centre, McGill University sought to fill a need for a modern and cross-disciplinary research space in genomics and proteomics. Vecsei Architects submitted a joint proposal with Dupuis, Le Tourneaux, architects, and NFOE et associés architectes. Ultimately, KPMB Architects and Fichten Soiferman et Associés, Architectes' proposal was chosen and built. The Lorne M. Trottier Building is a building for popular electrical engineering, computer science and telecommunications programs at McGill University. Vecsei Architects submitted a joint proposal for this project with Julian Jacobs Architectes and Architectes Lemay et associés. Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes and Marosi Troy's proposal was chosen and built. Also documented in this series are the following projects: Elementary school for College Marie de France, Montréal, Québec (circa 1984-1986); High-rise office tower, underground commercial centre tied to Montréal’s underground mall and subway network, Christ Church Cathedral, Montréal, Québec (circa 1987-1988); Seniors condominium, Manoir Montefiore, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (1988); Ark and artworks for the Beth Zion Synagogue, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (1989); Municipal library, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Québec (circa 1990), Cultural Centre and extension of sport centre, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Québec (circa 2001-2003); Renovation and new elevation for Schneider house, Montréal, Québec (2002). Collection material in this series was produced between 1983 and 2006. Documents include architectural records, such as presentation, conceptual, and design development drawings, and as well as photographs of facades and interior views. This series also includes digital material (mainly photographs), and a few project proposals and publications. The level of documentation varies greatly from project to project, from a single presentation drawing to complete project proposal.

The master plan recommended replacing the roof and gutters, removing the creeper, repairing the brick and stone, cleaning, repointing, installing an anti-pest system, repainting and adding a new spire. The project is recorded through drawings issued for tender dating from 1993.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the restauration of the Evergreen Building, a ten-story office tower on West Pender Street, in Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was previously known as the Laxton Building. The project consisted in renovations work to the building, design by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1980. Oberlander herself worked with Erickson at the time. After helping to save the building from demolition in the early 2000s, Oberlander worked as a landscape consultant for Omicron Architecture Engineering Construction Co. in 2006-2007. She was consulted for the restoration of the landscaping at the street level and the replanting of the planted balconies she had created while working with Erickson. As the building facade consisted in a stepped facade with an alternance of zigzag floor plates and straight floor plates, Oberlander chose cascading plants for the zigzag floors and upright planting for the straight floors. "Since the plants were brought to the structure's edges, the geometries of the building were dramatically amplified." [1] The Evergreen Building received a heritage status in the mid-2000s. This project series contains only materials related to the 2006-2007 renovations project. The project series comprises sketches, design development drawings, including site plans, plantings plans and landscape elevations, and buildings plans used as reference. The project series is also documented through corrsepondence, including correspondence with architects and contractors, specifications, plant lists, digital files of a presentation on the existing site condition, financial material, and research material for the project.

Description:
This project series documents renovations and additions to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto from 1988-1993. The office identified the project number as 18703. This project, known as Phase 3, built upon two other major expansion projects to the art gallery, Phase I and Phase II, that were completed by the architecture firm Parkin Architects Planners in the 1970s. Phase 3 was the winning entry for a limited competition won by KPMB, with Thomas Payne as partner-in-charge, in joint venture with the firm of Barton Myers Inc. This project consisted of 100,000 square feet of additions to the building including a prints and drawings study centre, a reference library and administrative offices in the southwest corner and new vaulted galleries, a tower and pyramidal arrival hall along Dundas Street. The Dundas Street elevation was transformed by these additions and brick facades were added. A new double height sculpture atrium, connected to the Victorian Grange mansion, was also added. This project also included 190,000 square feet of renovations to the existing building including changes to galleries, circulation, vaults, staff areas, the restaurant, bookstore and volunteer shop. The goal of these changes was to create a more coherent design between old and new parts of the building and to reinforce the role of art galleries in contemporary life by increasing the scale of the building and creating new spaces for interaction and participation. This project won the Canadian Architect Award of Excellence in 1988. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and accompanying notes dating from 1986-1992. The drawings include site plans and surveys, sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, studies, axonometric drawings, furnishing and structural drawings and some presentation drawings.
