Description:
This file documents the executed project for the Prospecta Toyama '92 Observatory Tower in Imizu, Toyama, Japan. Like the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium, this project was designed in conjunction with the 1st Japan Expo Toyama in 1992. The 30 x 32 x 32 metre structure, built at the top of a 61,2 metre hill, serves as a platform to observe the surrounding landscape. The centre court is designed and equipped for the creation of a performance with sound, light and fog. The file is chiefly composed of design development and presentation drawings but includes some conceptual drawings and material related to theme development. There are also site plans and information about the 1st Japan Expo Toyama 1992. There is a small amount of correspondence in the form of facsimile transmissions. Working drawings include a set of structural drawings. Presentation material includes a model and bound copies and drafts of proposals. There are some digital prints of computer-generated perspectives, one in the form of a presentation panel. There is also some documentation for the development of the name and logo for the structure. A small album contains photographs of the built work. There is some promotional material for the tower and for the park in which it is situated. There are also clippings from published documents. Material in this file was produced between 1990 and 1993. .

Description:
The project series documents the renovation of the Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR) tower in Geneva, Switzerland. There were two competition finalists: Abalos & Herreros received the second phase of the project which was not realised. The firm identified this project as number 197. "The project approaches the two presented problems in a single way: the image change of the existing complex and the extension of the floor area at the roof top. […] [A] single type of curtain wall has been developed with windows of reasonable shape and format which curve at the top floor to take advantage of the maximum volume allowed by local building laws, generating an image of the building which is completely different than the actual one. The use of silk printed glass in the whole building, with motives from plants, creates an impression from the interior to be situated in a garden. At the same time the exterior appearance underlines the building’s singularity at the pedestrian level. […] The created extension of the building has a trae [sic] singular shape which one day could host a possible showroom or multifunctional rooms or as executive floor.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Blaise Sahy. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development, presentation and working drawings, digital, graphic, presentation and reference materials, correspondence, notes, and a model.

Description:
Series 2, TopSolid development, 1992 - 2011, documents Bernard Cache’s contribution to the development of the software TopSolid. This series includes born-digital material and chiefly dates from 1999 - 2008. Created in 1987 by Missler software, TopSolid was one of the first computer-aided design (CAD) software usable on portable computers. Bernard Cache was an early adopter of TopSolid and was later asked to contribute to the development of further versions of the software. It then became one of the first pieces of software to support both CAD and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), which resulted from a radical proposition to link parametric design software seamlessly to robotic manufacturing. Bernard Cache’s contribution to this project underscores his interest for mathematics, geometry, and engineering reflected in his other areas of architectural and design work. Materials in this series portray Cache’s role in the development of the software. This includes programming records for the codes and configuration of the software which are primarily in plain text formats, still images and CAD formats (TopSolid). It also includes programming records for TopWood,an alternate software derived from TopSolid and developed to target the specificities of the wood industry. There are also a significant number of textual records, which constitutes training documents, bug reports, and correspondence (in Word and Excel formats).

Description:
The project series documents the public commission for a project of the hotel, clubhouse and golf course ''El Toyo'', in Almería, Spain. The promoter was Alboran Golf U.T.E. The firm identified this project as number 155. The hotel has 90 double rooms including 3 suites, storage room, and a technical space underground. The roof was designed as an ecological green space, including a running path and the club house was arranged as a pavillion. "Making use of the differences in height created by the terraces proposed for the hotels Gran Terrace with the swimming pool, the Club-House will appear as a fold in the terrain, practically a topographic accident since it will be constructed by inclined concrete slabs which generate the interior space. The roof is accessible turning itself into a viewing platform for the whole complex, a strategy which gives the club a strong landscaping character.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with José Maria Ezquiaga, Ángel Jaramillo Esteban, Elena Jaramillo Sánchez, Ángel Jaramillo Sánchez, Ramón Espinosa Garcia-Bermúdez, Leopoldo Espinosa Herraiz and OMA, Agustí Obiol y Luis Moya. The team won first prize for their project. It was not built, but was approved. Documenting the project are design development, presentation and working drawings, digital and reference materials, minutes, clippings, resumes, presentation documents, and project descriptions.

Description:
This series documents two projects by the firm Eva Vecsei Architect. In 1973, Vecsei opened her own private practice after her departure from the Dimitri Dimakopoulos’ firm, where she worked from 1971 to 1973. In 1973, Vecsei was hired as an architect by Group Concordia Developers (GCD) to design La Cité, a high density mixed-use residential and commercial project in Milton Park, Montréal. The project was comprised of multifunctional complexes of residential units, offices, a shopping mall, and a hotel with a year-round outdoor pool. The project was realized by the architects Eva H. Vecsei and Dobush Stewart Longpré Marchand Goudreau. The project is also known as "Cité Concordia". The Place Bonaventure was also developed by GCD, where Vecsei was the head project designer from 1964 to 1967. Besides these projects Eva Vecsei Architect also designed concepts for the city centre (1976) and a mixed-use complex (1978) in Karachi, Pakistan. The bulk of the Eva Hollo Vecsei collection is arranged in this series and was produced between 1969 and 2008. Records are predominantly from 1974-1976, which correspond to the period of the La Cité project. Documenting La Cité are architectural records, such as presentation, design, and working drawings, as well as photographs, publications, slides, clippings, digital material (photographs), and a presentation document. This series also includes two clippings on the mixed-use complex in Karachi.

Vecsei and Dobush Stewart Longpré Marchand Goudreau. The project is also known as "Cité Concordia". The Place Bonaventure was also developed by GCD, where Vecsei was the head project designer from 1964 to 1967. Besides these projects Eva Vecsei Architect also designed concepts for the city centre (1976) and a mixed-use complex (1978) in Karachi, Pakistan. The bulk of the Eva Hollo Vecsei collection is arranged in this series and was produced between 1969 and 2008. Records are predominantly from 1974-1976, which correspond to the period of the La Cité project. Documenting La Cité are architectural records, such as presentation, design, and working drawings, as well as photographs, publications, slides, clippings, digital material (photographs), and a presentation document. This series also includes two clippings on the mixed-use complex in Karachi.

Sub-series AP154.S1.1973.PR01.SS2 Addition from Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg (2007) contains records donated by Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg in 2007. The sub-series documents interior design and renovation projects by Pasanella + Klein or Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg dating from approximately 1978 to 2007. Some of the projects in this subseries have been identified by Tom Stetz as being related to Article 26 of the 1980 lease agreement between the landlord Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America and the tenant Joseph E. Seagram and Sons. A copy of the lease agreement is present among the textual records of this subseries. Renovation projects documented in this sub-series include interior design projects for the 5th and 6th floors, proposed modifications for the "Picasso Alley" area, and unrealized schemes for an elevator and wheelchair ramp for the plaza. There are also some original drawings for furniture designs. The sub-series also inlcudes digital files containing font typefaces for the building's display alphabet. A substantial part of the subseries is composed of documents from the 1950 and 1960s that are related to the original design and construction of the Seagram Building. These documents include twelve rolls containing approximately 500 copies of working drawings from the period 1955-1963. The original design is further documented by a 1955 outline of specifications for work and materials.

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for the new Visitor Centre of VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project from 2007 to 2011 with architectural firm Busby Perkins+Will Architects and landscape architecture firm Sharp and Diamond Landscape Architects. The project consisted in building an access to the botanical garden from Oak Street. The building includes a undulating green roof shaped as a native orchid leaf and covered in plants inspired by the Pacific Northwest Coastal grassland. The building entrance is marked by "a single petal raised above the others" [1] while another of the giant roof petal in the back "almost touched the ground, and transported water to Oberlander's rainwater garden." [2] The project series contains design developement drawings such as site plans, planting plans, landscape plans, landscape sections and a few sketches, and also sets of building drawings or older landscape drawings of the garden used as reference. The project is also documented through textual records, including correspondence with architects, consultants and clients, project proposals, documentation on botanical garden or on the VanDusen Botanical Garden, and press articles and clippings about the project. The project series comprises also digital photographs of the completed building. Source: [1] [2] Herrington, Susan.

This project subseries documents the Clubhouse de Vidago in Vidago, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 49/00. The office assigned the dates 2007-2010 to this project. The project, part of larger renovations to the Vidago Palace Hotel, consisted of the conversion of an old building into the new golf clubhouse. Originally constructed in 1886, the stone building was first used for bottling the Vidago spring water. The clubhouse consisted of a large restaurant and bar space, with white walls, high ceilings and a central skylight to illuminate its spacious interior. A golf shop and dressing room were also part of the clubhouse. Siza designed two other buildings for the new 18-hole golf course, the golf academy and the maintenance building, but neither of these was ever realized. This project subseries is recorded through photographic materials, drawings, study models and textual records dating from 2002-2015. These records document the clubhouse, the golf academy and the maintenance building. The photographic materials are mostly printed digital photos showing the site, construction work, the model and reference images. The drawings include studies, plans, elevations, sections, details, and structural, mechanical and electrical drawings. The textual records include furniture documentation, records for permits, budgets, supplier catalogues, correspondence and meeting minutes. There are also a number of records documenting various mechanical, electrical and structural systems.
