Description:
This project series documents the performance "Marea" presented as a conference given by Pettena to the Architectural Association of London while standing at the mouth of the Thames in London during the rising of the tide. Pettena's idea was to give "conference on the theory of architecture, pure, abstract theory, produced in a limited time, its length determined by the constraints imposed by changes in the physical environment." [1] The project series contains photographs of the performance showing Pettena standing in the water as the tide slowly rises.

Description:
This project series documents the Simpson's store at Yorkdale Shopping Centre in North York, Ontario from 1959-1964. The office identified the project number as 5912. This project consisted of a 285,000 square foot store, largely clad in precast concrete, that included merchandising, stock, mall, and shipping areas, a coffee shop, a restaurant, and an enclosed court. See-through glass made up most of the ground level exterior, in order to entice shoppers to enter the store. There was also an enclosed court with a fountain, tropical foliage and a helicoidal staircase. The project is recorded through a mounted presentation photograph dating from around 1964, which shows the enclosed court.
