AP143.S4.D32
Description:
File documents the partially executed project for the Restricted International Competition "South Friedrichstadt as a Place to Live and Work," West Berlin (now Berlin), West Germany (now in Germany). Material in this file was produced between 1980 and 1988. File documents the design for one of four urban blocks in the area of the Kochstrasse and Friedrichstrasse, Berlin. The competition required the preservation of three existing structures and the construction of mixed-used buildings on vacant lots. The architect develops an overall strategy to occupy the urban block by extending the geometry of the three existing buildings onto the site (DR1991:0018:002; DR1991:0018:004-006), on which he overlays what he calls the "Mercator grid", an orthogonal grid oriented according to the compass (DR1991:0018:016). The "el structures" used by Eisenman in House X, House 11a, and the Cannaregio project reappear in plan, and later as forms emerging from the square compartments delimited by the "Mercator grid", this time developed three-dimensionally (House X, 1975-1977, DR1994:0138:001-1546; House 11a, 1978, DR1994:0139:001-303; Cannaregio project, 1978, DR1991:0017:001-094). After finalizing the urban concept, Eisenman concentrates his efforts on the planning of individual buildings, developing the massing of the building facing Kochstrasse in a series of axonometrics (DR1991:0018:088-092), sections (DR1991:0018:088) and facade studies (DR1991:0018:204-210). A series of scrolled drawings study the L-shaped elements and thin slabs with characteristically gridded surfaces found in House X (DR1991:0018:204 and DR1991:0018:209-210). File contains record drawings, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, schematic drawings, competition drawings, presentation drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

Project
AP018.S1.1972.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the second stage of the expansion of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto from 1972-1977. The office identified the project number as 7208. This project consisted of the expansion of the AGO that began in 1972. It was Stage II of the expansion program, which began in 1969 with Stage I. Most prominent in this project was the extension of the gallery’s west side to reach Beverley Street. This wing housed the new Education and Extension (E&E) branch galleries and educational facilities, and a two-storey reference library. The library included a 10,000 square foot reading room and an audiovisual library. This stage also proposed an extension to the south of the main gallery, directly east of the Grange mansion, that would connect the AGO to the neighbouring Ontario College of Art. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, and textual records dating from 1971-1983. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of detail drawings arranged with the textual records, although original drawings of details are also present within the textual records. Large drawings housed separately show both the design development and construction of the project. There are also presentation boards showing floor plan schemes. The textual records include contractor and client correspondence, meeting reports, specifications, project notebooks, tender documents, contract data, consultancy records, site reports, certificates of payment and other financial documentation, change orders, supplementary instructions, deficiency lists, detail planning records, and studies. Box AP018.S1.1972.PR08.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's design for the interior and exterior landscape of National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Oberlander worked on this project from 1983-1995 with architects Moshe Safdie and John C. Parkin. Oberlander's overall concept for the landscaping was based on the building organizational pattern of a city. She created "a pathway system that connected the front of the National Gallery to Nepean Point behind the gallery." [1] Oberlander landscape design includes the design of three exterior area and a courtyard. Each space is design in relations to the art displayed in the immediate indoor gallery: the Taiga Garden "flanks the gallery's interior glass-and-concrete collonade that leads to the Canadian and Aboriginal Art galleries." [2]; the Minimalist Courtyard relates to the modern art collection gallery; the zigzag-shaped pathway passes between the National War Museum and the new gallery; and interior courtyard links the restored ninetheeth-century Rideau Chapel relocated inside the National Gallery and provides and church-like atmosphere. The project series contains textual records, including specifications, correspondence, documentation, financial documents, plant lists, press clippings about the project, and Oberlander's concept development notes. The project is also recorded through photographic materials, such as slides and photographs of the construction of the building and the landscape work and the photographs of the completed project. The project series also includes conceptual drawings, design develepment drawings, working drawings and presentation drawings, including landscape plans, planting plans, grading and irrigation plans and building plans used as reference.
