Project
AP148.S1.1988.PR02
Description:
Project series comprises material related to a design entry for a 1988 competition on the environmental redevelopment of the San Carlo quarry in the comune of Castelnuovo Berardenga near Siena, Italy. Poli dates this project as 1988, though most of the material is undated (only 2 drawings are dated 1988). However, the project description text includes a bibliography making reference to 1991 publications, though it is possible that this document was created later than the drawings. Project material includes numerous drawings and collages, some which are overlayed with wax, one which features a metal object, and some drawn directly onto topographical maps. Project material also includes a model, a photomontage featuring images of the quarry site and geological strata, and a typed project description. Parts of the text in the project description also appear on some of the drawings. Many of the drawings feature a circular design that is repeated throughout the drawing material in this series. Poli's proposal for the redevelopment seemed to involve the addition of trees to the area and the development of a passageway. One of Poli's drawings makes reference to the earth moon highway featured in an earlier project, Interplanetary Architecture (see AP148.S1.1970.PR02).

Project
AP056.S1.2000.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the James Stewart Centre for Mathematics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario from 2000-2003. The office identified the project number as 2000-22. This project consisted of the complete interior renovation of Hamilton Hall, originally built in 1929, for use as a mathematics school at the University. An insulated envelope was added to the historic building in order to preserve its gothic exteriors, which were juxtaposed against new modern and abstract interior spaces. Transparent blue glass was used throughout the four-storey building for walls, ceilings and railings to draw sunlight deep into its interiors. A mix of enclosed rooms and open, interactive spaces were created and slate chalkboards were added throughout the building to inspire spontaneous thought and collaborative work.[1] This project was awarded a Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2004. The project is recorded through drawings dating from around 2000 to around 2002, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, presentation drawings and digital renderings. A large part of the sketches are drawings for custom furniture. [1]"James Stewart Centre for Mathematics, McMaster University." KPMB.
