Description:
Le dossier documente la soumission pour le concour ouvert pour le Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal qui s'est tenu à Montréal, Québec, pendant l'hiver 1984. Le dossier contient des dessins, des reprographies, des panneaux, des artéfacts, des documents textuels et des documents photographiques.

Odile Hénault, " Le concours du Musée d'art contemporain: un constat ", Section A, vol. 2, nº 2, p. 11. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Réaliser une architecture qui manifeste, fière, l'audace et la recherche, en explorant un thème qui apparaît être un centre du débat contemporain, soit la pertinence de la nature dans la culture et plus largement du naturel dans le culturel."

Description:
Le dossier documente le projet d'addition pour l'Hôtel de Ville de Saint-Hyacinthe, situé sur la rue de L'Hôtel de Ville, à Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec. Le dossier contient des dessins, des reprographies, des négatifs, des documents textuels, une photographie et un album. Description du projet : "Le conseil municipal de la Ville de St-Hyacinthe confiait en juillet 1983 un mandat d'étude sur les conditions physiques des différents services de l'appareil municipal de manière à dégager certaines recommandations susceptibles d'améliorer la situation de l'Hôtel de Ville de St-Hyacinthe. Le projet soumis aux autorités municipales visait à solutionner un certain nombre de problèmes dont les facilités de stationnement, les accès pour handicapés et l'organisation fonctionnelle déficiente des services municipaux. Ce projet devait en plus protéger les éléments patrimoniaux des bâtiments existants et associer plus intimement l'édifice du "Bell Téléphone" acquis il y a un certain nombre d'années par la municipalité." Claude Provencher, ARQ :Architecture-Québec, no 23, février 1985, p. 25-27.

AR1996:1001:232
Description:
- The inscribed titles on two drawings by Théophile Fahrland indicate that the subjects are a "tambour" [drum] (AR1996:1001:232) and details for a "tambour" (AR1996:1001:231) for Notre-Dame de Montréal. The subject of these drawings is identified as a "bearing wall [?]", since the definition of a "drum" - a vertical wall, either circular or polygonal in plan, that carries a dome - apparently does not apply in this case (Art and Architecture Thesaurus). Further research is required to determine the subject of these drawings more precisely.

Description:
- The ground floor plan shows the existing structure as well as the proposal. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).
