Description:
This project series documents the winning competition entry and subsequent construction for Kitchener City Hall in Kitchener, Ontario from 1989-1993. The office identified the project number as 8928. This project consisted of a U-shaped civic building comprised of a circular rotunda in the centre, an office tower to the right, the council chambers to the left, and two rectangular arms on either side to create the arms of the U. These elements, which wrapped around a large reflecting pool that doubled as a skating rink, were visually separated but coherent in their design and use of materials. Located on the block between Young, College, Duke and King Streets, the interior and exteriors of the property were designed for city government, but also for the larger public with community, public spaces, and open interaction with local government as key design concepts for the project. After entering the Civic Square outside the building, patrons can pass through the main portico, into the Interior Civic Square were the round Civic Rotunda rests in the centre. The rotunda’s interior was designed for use as a public gathering space, where events and activities could be held. The top of the rotunda had sandblasted glass windows with patinated copper frames, letting natural light shine into the large space below. A staircase from the main Civic Square led to an exterior terrace that wrapped around the top of the rotunda. The Administrative Office Tower was ten-storeys with a mechanical penthouse, and was used for civic offices. The Council Chamber was comprised of limestone with refinished metal panels forming a curved roof on top. The two wings along the sides of the property contained tenant areas, a restaurant, information offices, alderman’s offices and the mayor’s office, among other spaces. The back of the property had landscaped exteriors and outdoor play areas for the building’s daycare. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, presentation paintings and models dating from 1989-1993. The drawings consist of concepts for both the competition entry and the subsequent construction of the project. These include sketches, base maps and area surveys produced by the city and contractors, presentation boards and paintings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings. There are also photographic reproductions of presentation drawings. The photographs show finished interiors and exteriors and the project model.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape for the two gardens for the New York Times Building, in New York. The office tower, located on 8th Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets, was designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop in association with Fox & Fowle (subsequently FXFowle) and opened in 2007. HM White Site Architects and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander collaborated on the design of the building's courtyard and rooftop gardens. The project series also includes another landscaping project for the New York Times Building Loby Garden in the first half of 2010s. Oberlander worked on this project as landscape architect with Henry M White III from HM White Site Architects firm. The project series contains design development, presentation drawings, and working drawings, including landscape sections and details, site plans, planting plans, irrigation plans, and plant schedule. The drawings also includes sets of plans of the building used as reference by Oberlander. The project is also documented through textual records, such as research material, correspondence with contractors, clients and architects, contracts, and specifications. The project series also contains documents related to the restoration of the Garden Court, such as scope of work, landscape specifications, and correspondence with contractors. A few documents also relates to the project for the Loby Garden of the building, including digital photographs of the plant selection, digital photographs of the complete landscape work, physical and digital files of an application for ASLA award and proposal for a 2016 addition of trees.

Description:
File documents a competition entry for a landmark to be located in the city centre of Melbourne, Australia. Price's project for a multi-use structure combined the idea of a "city-farm" with public access routes for harvesting, marketing, and purchasing produce. "[F]our multi-floored hydroponic farms" covered with faceted triangulated space frames rise from an expansive open deck structure which covered most of the site. Artificial lights and additional water collection and supply was integrated within the triangulated space frames. Conceptual sketches in pen and coloured pencil show the initial design. A presentation panel which is composed of text and drawings pasted onto a base sheet indicates the existing site conditions in plan, the open deck platform grids, the triangulated space frames, various views of the proposed landmark design, and future design developments. Material in this file was produced in 1979. File contains conceptual drawings and presentation panels.

CI005.S1.1949.PR1
Description:
Vredenburg Square – originally designed by H.P. Berlage in 1919 – had become problematic for traffic congestion; the problem was compounded by the erection of the Jaarbeurs Exhibition Complex. Utrecht city council commissioned Oud to design a square with architect C. Wegener Sleeswijk. Oud modified Sleeswijk's original expansion plan to create a design for a twelve-storey tower block that would take up less space and open up the southeast side of the square. In addition to the Jaarbeurs tower, Oud suggested placing more emphasis on the square's entrance. Oud also modified the traffic routes and created a semi-circular facade across from a secretariat. Although the city council approved Oud's plan in 1951, his design was unrealized as the council ultimately commissioned another architectural firm's design (Taverne et al. 2001, 472-473). Project series includes plans for the Vredenburg development.

Description:
The project series documents the design and construction of the general services building for the Universidad de Extremadura. In 1999, Abalos & Herreros in collaboration with Fomento won first prize at a competition held for enterprises. The firm identified this project as number 117. “Giving the hard climatic conditions, the building is wrapped in an artificial and natural dual filter of adjustable lattices surrounded by a ring a trees (Ginkos Bilobas) […] On the roof, two turrets house relaxation rooms for the teaching staff, rooms that open onto a garden surrounded by a training track, thus creating an open-air area with views over the lowlands of the [River] Guadiana and the city” (ARCH270971). In the documentation, the project is often referred to as “Edificio administrativo y de nuevas titulaciones de la Universidad de Extremadura” or “Administration building and new graduate facilities for the University of Extremadura”. The firm worked with Ángel Jaramillo, Uriel Fogué, Renata Sentkiewicz, Jacob Hense and Obiol y Moya for the account of the Consejería de Educación, Ciencia y Tecnología, Junta de Extremadura. Documenting the project are presentation and working drawings, and photographic materials.

Description:
This project series documents the planning or reorganisation of the central sector of Abandoibarra, in Bilbao. The firm identified this project as number 83. At the time, the development of this area was essential for the development of the city. The firm described their project as: “[...] The centre of attention would be transferred from the material to the space between the things, working with the void: making a project of air, converting the dimensional [sic], the distance between the things, the public space (ARCH270975)." The project was developed by the Abalos & Herreros with César Azcárate and Patxi Mangado. They also worked with Eva Gómez, Juan Lahuerta, David Torres and Carlos Urtailquil. In 1993, the project won first prize at the competition Ordenación Abando-Ibarra, an open national competition organised by the Ayuntamiento de Bilbao (Bilbao City Council) and Colegio de Arquitectos del País Vasco y Navarra. This qualified the project for the international level of the competetion. However the project was not selected for the final round. Documenting the project are conceptual and design development drawings, and photographic materials.
