AR1996:1001:231
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.

House 11a
Reference number:
AP143.S4.D23
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for House 11a, designed for Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Forster, Palo Alto, California, United States. File also includes one drawing for the International Seminary of Design in the Area of Cannaregio-West in Venice, Italy. Material in this file was produced in 1978. File does not contain any conceptual drawings by Eisenman. Freehand diagrams explain the series of "topological" operations at the origin of the design (DR1994:0139:001-008). The original presentation drawings are published in 'Progressive Architecture' (DR1994:0139:283-301). File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, and presentation drawings. - Conceptual drawings include elevations, sections, and axonometrics - mostly black and coloured felt-tip pen on tracing vellum. Design development drawings include plans and axonometrics - some black felt-tip pen and some graphite on yellow tracing paper; and reprographic copies include - one photocopy on wove paper. Presentation drawings include plans, elevations, and axonometrics - mostly pen and black ink on tracing vellum. Copies include a stat of an axonometric of House 11a and a photocopy of part of the Cannaregio site plan.

AP018.S1.1982.PR07
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Hamilton Trade Centre and Arena in Hamilton, Ontario from 1982-1985. The office identified the project number as 8207. The project consisted of a 60,000 square foot exhibition hall and arena, which had a capacity of 18,000. Opening in November 1985, the building was designed to host sports events (primarily hockey) and concerts. The project was reported to have cost $42 million. Along with Parkin Partnership as the architecture firm, John C. Parkin’s engineering company Parkin Engineers Ltd. worked as structural engineers on the project. The building, commissioned by the city of Hamilton, was officially called Copps Coliseum after the former Hamilton mayor, Victor Copps, who pushed for its creation throughout his career. In 2014, the name was changed to FirstOntario Centre. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of construction drawings, research, construction and presentation photographs, and textual records dating from 1982-1987. The textual records show design research, client correspondence, contractor work, specifications, publicity, and financial records. Any original drawings for this project are arranged within the textual records.

Reference number:
AP185.S1
Description:
This project, 1998-2000, documents the conception and design of Housings, mass-customized prefabricated residences, by the architecture firm KOL/MAC. KOL/MAC began by digitally blending a typical 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom colonial house with a range of other objects or use cases. The result was six related houses that explored the relationship between customization and mass prefabrication. Housings relates to KOL/MAC’s exploration of what they call chimerical projects, where form and function are combined to create uniquely hybridized structures. The project records are largely in CAD formats, including Alias Wire, Maya, and IGES files; there are a number of raster image formats, including TIF, Alias pix, Mac Pict images, and JPEG. The materials include renderings, wireframe drawings, and still images of the various Housings structures. There is also a body of material from and related to the concrete manufacturer, YTONG, as well as a small amount of video material, which is only partially accessible due to format obsolescence.

Description:
- This reprographic copy shows a storefront for a three storey building, with plate glass windows at the street level. - 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'.
