- This group contains 470 photographs of projects by students for courses given at the Vkhutemas (Higher State Artistic Technical Studios, 1920-1926) and the Vkhutein (Moscow Higher Technical Institute, 1926-1930) from 1919 to 1930. The material has been grouped into 61 groups by course, topic and year. The photographs are mostly of student drawings and/or models, but also include four groups of views of exhibitions of student projects (PH1998:0014:004-006, PH1998:0014:007-008, PH1998:0014:016, and PH1998:0014:128), 2 groups of or including didactic materials (PH1998:0014:009-014 and PH1998:0014:436-470) and one group which includes a student portrait (PH1998:0014:466-470). -- Forty-four groups document student projects and one exhibition of student models for the "Space" course between 1920 - 1930 (exhibition: PH1998:0014:128; student projects: PH1998:0014:023-025 - PH1998:0014:396-400; PH1998:0014:419-427; PH1998:0014:443-451 - PH1998:0014:452-462). -- Four groups document student models for the "Volume" course between 1920 to 1928 (PH1998:0014:001-003; PH1998:0014:017; PH1998:0014:018-020; PH1998:0014:021-022). -- Three groups document the Basic Course between 1920 to 1930; two of the groups show exhibitions of student projects (PH1998:0014:007-008; PH1998:0014:016), while the third shows didactic materials used by professors of the course (PH1998:0014:009-015). -- One group documents student drawings and paintings and still life arrangements for student exercises for the "Colour" course between 1920 to 1930 (PH1998:0014436-442) and one group documents an exhibition of student models and drawings for the "Obmas; Finding the Volume-Space" course between 1923 to 1928 (PH1998:0014:004-006). -- Five groups document student drawings and models on various topics for unidentified courses between 1924 to 1930, including a student model by V.S. Balikhin for the diploma project for an airport (diploma project: PH1998:0014:435; PH1998:0014:401-418; PH1998:0014:428-431; PH1998:0014:432-434; PH1998:0014:463-465).

Portfolio of photographs showing cast-steel muzzle-loading guns and artillery, fortress and siege mortars, coast and landing guns, workshops, machinery and company products, manufactured by the Krupp armament plant in Essen/Ruhr river valley (in Prussia). This portfolio shows different models of guns and canons, locomotive wheels, exterior views of the factory with large chimneys and line-ups of workers, a panorama showing the factory complex and dwellings built for the workers, mines, inside views of the factory with machinery and two maps : one of the layout of the grounds that is colour-coded to indicate growth between 1861 and 1871 - Rhenish Prussia (Rhein provinz), and one of the world distribution of Krupp representatives - District of Essen, Europe, Germany and the World. This portfolio was compiled and probably sent, like many others by the company, to Krupp Cast Steel Works agents throughout Europe or used as a presentation catalogue for international expositions.

Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandes Armazéns do Chiado building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N4. The office assigned the dates 1988-1998 for this project. The Grandes Armazéns do Chiado was part of Bloco C and identified as building 4 in Siza's reconstruction plan. The site of the Grandes Armazéns served several different functions in its history, including a hotel, a palace, and a convent, before becoming a department store in 1894. In the 1920s, a hotel was created at the top floors. After the destructive fire of 1988, the new owners of the building were interested in using the totality of the building for a shopping mall and restaurants. On the other hand, Siza's proposal included the expansion of the hotel in the building to introduce more public activity in the area after the regular work and shopping hours. Several programs were proposed to the owners of the building, and it was decided in 1996 that the hotel space would be reduced to the two top floors to have more room for the shopping center. The new division included 41 hotel rooms and 41 stores. The interior of the shopping mall was designed by Eduardo Souto Moura. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings, and structural drawings. Textual material includes project documentation, studies, meeting reports, and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, model, and construction work. Documentation for this project can also be found in subseries AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1 and AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7 of this project series.

AP018.S1.1983.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the new National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario from 1983-1988. The office identified the project number as 8303. In 1977, Parkin Architects Planners won a limited architectural competition for their design of the new National Gallery of Canada. However, after cited lack of funds, and controversies over the chosen site as well as how the competition was run, the newly formed Canada Museums Construction Company sought another design and architect for the new National Gallery. The building site was also moved from its original location near the Canadian parliament buildings on Wellington Street to the corner of Sussex Drive and St Patrick Street. Eventually, Moshe Safdie, in joint venture with Parkin Architects Planners, were chosen as the architects for the project. Parkin was the minor partner in this joint venture and his firm's work seemed to focus more on construction than design. The dispute over this decision can be found in the textual records of project series AP018.S1.1976.PR23 in this fonds. This project was commissioned by Public Works Canada and the Canada Museum Construction Company, both federal government agencies. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1976-1989. The drawings consist largely of structural and construction drawings for the project. Some drawings in this project series were prepared by Public Works Canada. The textual records for this project include specifications, financial records, change order documentation, correspondence, interoffice letters, documentation on the competition controversy and competition reports. The textual records also focus heavily on a dispute between Parkin/Safdie and the client regarding the architects' professional fees.

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Waterfall Building on West 2nd Avenue, near the entrance of Granville Island, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in 1998-2001 with architect Arthur Erickson and architectural firm Nick Milkovich Architects, who designed the building. The building consists in five separated structures to accomodate studios spaces as well as split-level residences. It also included a courtyard and roof gardens on all five building structures for which Oberlander was responsible of the design. The courtyard, formed by in the roof of the underground parking space, consists "a simple tapestry of pavers, ground cover, trees and a small reflecting basin [...]." [1] The roofs garden included planting of white roses at the edge of the building and ornemental grass. The rooftops serve as communal patio for the residents and was accesible to the public. The project was completed in 2001. The Waterfall Building was the last project Oberlander realized in collaboration with Arthur Erickson. The project series includes sketches, design development drawings, including planting plans for the courtyard and the rooftops, working drawings, such as landscape plans for the courtyard and planting plans. The drawings in this series also includes drawings of the building used as reference. The project is also documented through research material for the project, specifications, plant lists, correspondence, including correspondence with architects and client, meeting notes, reports, financial document, a promotional poster on the project, and photographs of the landscaping work and plant selection.

The project series includes sketches, design development drawings, including planting plans for the courtyard and the rooftops, working drawings, such as landscape plans for the courtyard and planting plans.
