Documents professionnels
AP086.S2
Description:
Cette série contient des documents de deux natures. D'abord, les 26 photographies que Blaise Marchand a colligées alors qu'il était architecte en chef pour l'entretien au ministère des Travaux publics du Québec (1945-1968), illustrent principalement les différentes décorations temporaires installées sur les façades de l'Hôtel du Parlement à Québec, et dans les environs, à l'occasion d'événements spéciaux entre 1949 et 1960 [1963]. Pour la grande majorité, les photographies ont été réalisées par le Service de ciné-photographie de l'Office provincial de publicité du Québec, mais aussi par le ministère des Travaux publics - Service des architectes, ainsi que par le photographe Michel, photographie artistique et commerciale (Québec) et par le studio Photo Montcalm (Québec). Ensuite, les trois publications et le manuscrit ([1956]-1963) conservés dans la série documentent l'intérêt que Marchand portait à l'urbanisme et à la conservation et la restauration du patrimoine bâti. Les titres entre guillemets ont été tirés des légendes qui accompagnaient les photographies lorsque les documents sont arrivés aux archives.

Mel Ziegler: Growing Concern
The front garden is a sign, a place both public and private, conveying the convictions and values of the households they frame. Growing Concern, a grass relief in Baile Park by American artist Mel Ziegler (b.1956), represents the North American obsession with the lawn. The artist considers the cultural obsession with the growth of our lawns to be symbolic of the taming(...)

Project
AP207.S1.1992.PR01
Description:
The project series documents Pettena's preliminary study and proposal for the restoration and conversion of the Forte Inglese, a Napoleonic era fortification in Portoferraio, Italy. Pettena worked on this project in 1992. The restauration and conversion project for the fort was not realized because of changes in the local government. The proposal consisted of converting the fort into an exhibition space, an auditorium and a public garden "by simply adding spaces that utilized volumes created underground or at the rear: thus the respect of the preexisting context was assured, from the viewpoint of history as well as landscape." [1] The project series contains a preliminary study report by Pettena, sketches, site plans, floor plans, elevations, and sections for Pettena's proposal, reference photographs, research material, such as photocopies of publications on the fort and reference plans for the historic building.
