Project
CD034.S1.1974.PR01
Description:
This project series contains four reproductions of drawings displayed in the exhibit to document the neighbourhood Quinta do Bacalhau-Monte Coxo, in Lisbon, Portugal. The exhibit text explained the following: The project architect Manuel Vicente was already working on a design for the intervention in the Quintas de Bacalhau and Monte Coxo when he was co-opted by SAAL. The proposed typology referred to another ambitious urban project of 615 housing units, Quinta das Fonsecas - Quinta da Calçada neighbourhood by the architect Raúl Hestnes Ferreira. The intention was to bring the city to the outlying shanty town areas. None of these projects was carried out in full, and they are now fragmented and besieged by the traffic system without having produced any of the essential community and socialising facilities. In Bacalhau-Monte Coxo the structure of the internal patios reveals the ways in which the public space and community was organised. The architecture assigned importance to the facades, although access to the community courtyards was also a central design concept. In a 1976 interview, the architect himself argued that the release of bourgeois guilt allowed for spatial beauty, adopting the slogan 'Facades First' in defence of architectural design. In a way, this proposal anticipated the post-modern, although in a form that did not deny architecture's social engagement. The design emphasizes a strong idea of architectural autonomy, unfortunately only a part of the project was actually built. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Manuel Vicente worked for SAAL/Lisbon and Central South with the following collaborators: Afonso José Baptista, Agostinho Xavier de Andrade, António Albano Leitão, Cristina Catela Martins Pereira, Eduardo Serrano de Sousa, Gentil Noras, José Manuel Diniz Cabral Caldeira, Manuel Augusto Lopes de Sousa, Nuno Matos Silva, Rita Cabral and the resident association Cooperativa de Habitação Económica Portugal Novo, that was founded on September 6th, 1974. The team built 384 dwellings. The operation began in September 1974, with a construction date in January 1977. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings and a cadastral plan. The original drawings were produced in 1974 or after and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

OCEAN North reference files

Description:
Series consists of reference documentation in the form of portfolios of selected materials from various OCEAN North projects. It is likely that Kivi Sotamaa did not contribute to all of the included projects. For the most part, records are images of work done with CAD software: preliminary drawings; fully developed plans and renderings of buildings; landscapes; and installations. Images also include digitized photographs of models and installations. Content from AP198.S2.001 – OCEAN North Portfolio 1999 consists primarily of this type of visual material and is organized per project. Additionally, a few textual records describe some of the projects. There are two versions of a general presentation document in Pagemaker. Content from AP198.S2.002 – OCEAN North Press CD 2000 is organized into three sections: “about'OCEANnorth”, “OCEANnorth_Essays”, and “OCEANnorth_Projects”. This last directory is further organized by year and by project, each project having a text and an image sub-directory. Overall, there are 48 textual records describing the network, its vision and its projects, alongside more than 200 raster images. The Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre competition entry was not included in this project selection. The following projects are documented in this series: - Töölö Football Stadium, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Extraterrains, a furniture design project. - Finnish Embassy in Canberra, an international architectural competition entry. - Habitare Pavilion (1996 and 1997), exhibitions installations. - Chamberworks, an architectural installation for an exhibition. - a-drift NYT Time Capsule, a competition entry for a time capsule for the New York Times. - Synthetic Landscape Pavilion and Phases 1, 2 and 3, a landscape design. - Sandefjord Hotel, preliminary design. - Landscraper, design study for an exhibition. - IntenCities, multidisciplinary installation project. - Barbican’s Valo exhibition design. - Constantini (sic) Museum, a building design for a competition. - Kyoto, a study of urban design. - Jeil’s Hospital, a building design. - Urban Surfaces exhibition.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the proposed Commonwealth Square of the Art Gallery of Hamilton, on Main Street West in Hamilton, Ontario. Oberlander worked on this project in 1999-2002 while the architectural firm Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna, Blumberg Architects was in charge of the building's renovations. The building was completed in 2005, but Oberlander's proposal for the landscaping redesign of Commonwealth Square was not realized. Oberlander's first proposal consisted in adding an oval-shaped mounded lawn in the centre of a paved plaza situated between the art gallery and Main Street West. A second proposal also documented in this project series included two curved access ramps leading to a terrace next to the building with trees planting at the far edge of the plaza and along the street and the underground parking entrance. The project series contains design development drawings for Oberlander's landscaping, such as sketches, sections, landscape plans and renderings. The project series also includes renderings and working drawings for the building by KPMB architectural firm, and building plans for the existing building used as reference. The project is also documented through correspondence, including with clients, architects and consultants, Oberlander's concept notes, documents related to the plant selection, financial documents, documentation on the art gallery, and press clippings and articles on the project. It also comprises photographs of the existing landscaping on Main Street West plaza, including the Irving Zucker Sculpture Court.

AP206.S1.1983.PR01
Description:
This project series documents residential housing for officers at the Reserve Bank of India in Chandigarh, India from 1983-1986. The project consisted of four-storey apartment blocks located on twelve blocks totalling 2.87 acres. The apartment blocks had oblong-shaped spiraling staircases at exterior openings along the buildings' elevations. Located in Sector 44B, the apartments observed both the norms of the bank's staff quarters guidelines and the architectural control established in Chandigarh. This project was proposed in two phases, the second of which integrated public spaces, amenities and maintenance quarters into the campus. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records and a photograph dating from 1983-2003. About half the drawings are originals and included are plans, elevations, sections, details and structural and electrical drawings. Many of these are working drawings, but some presentation drawings are included. The textual records consist of specifications, reports, correspondence and the project contract. The photograph shows Aditya Prakash on the roof of the finished building.
