Barry Downs fonds
AP077
Synopsis:
The Barry Downs fonds contains 6 drawings and 8 presentation panels for a total of 11 projects conceived between 1956 and 1968. This period coincided with Down's position as design architect for Thompson, Berwick, Pratt & Partners, and his subsequent partnership with Fred Thornton Hollingsworth. The documents, particularly the drawings, reveal the considerable skill Downs possessed as both a draughtsman and a designer.

Project
AP075.S1.1979.PR07
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Montiverdi Estates, located on the western slopes of Caulfield, West Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project from 1979 to 1982, year of the completion. Oberlander worked on the site plan for the estate with Arthur Erickson and Eva Matsuzaki. The project consists in 20 custom houses, designed by Erickson, and nestled into a forest on a rock plateau overlooking Howe Sound. The estate, built on a slope, comprises four types of houses: uphill units, terrace units, coutyard units and downhill units. The project series contains textual records, such as correspondence, including with architect and client, Oberlander's concept development notes, research, specifications, a geotechnical report, cost estimates. The project is also documented through a design developement drawing showing planting and a plant list, and six working drawings, including landscape plans, a site plan and a site section.

AP056.S1.1997.PR04
Description:
This project series documents Richmond City Hall in Richmond, British Columbia from 1997-2000. The office identified the project number as 9710, although some project materials also refer to the project number as 9709. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, was a joint venture between Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects and Vancouver-based Hotson Bakker Architects. The project consisted of a new civic space at the corner of Granville Avenue and No 3 Road, built on the grounds of the original city hall, that included a three-component building. These components included the circular Council Chamber at the forefront, an eight-storey administrative tower, and a long, two-storey Meeting House all surrounding a new civic square. The Meeting House connected the interior elements to outdoor spaces, which include a series of courtyards, gardens and water features. [1] The material palette for the building's exterior included an aluminum curtain wall with several types of glass finishes and wood accents. This project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, paintings, textual records and a project model dating from 1997-1999. The drawings are mostly original sketches, but some plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are also included. There are also a number of presentation materials, which include text on the design concept, digital renderings, photographs of the model and paintings.
