Projet
AP056.S1.1989.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a proposal for Palmerston Place in Scarborough, Ontario from 1989-1992. The office identified the project number as 8909. This project, commissioned by Frum Development Group and headed by Bruce Kuwabara, proposed a mixed-use development that would span several blocks and integrate local transit stations. Located at the corner of Markham Road and Sheppard Avenue, the development would include residential areas, retail spaces, office buildings, a bus station and a subway station. The project investigated several schemes, all of which included the creation of a new grid road system, parks, courtyards and extensive landscaping. The development was divided into several phases to be carried out over a five to seven year period. This project was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, a site photograph and textual records dating from 1989-1991. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, model drawings, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and sections. A large number of the plans are schemes that investigate the general site concept. The textual records consist of a description of the project concept.

AP018.S1.1968.PR01
Description:
This project series documents St. John's City Hall and Civic Centre in Newfoundland from 1968-1970. The office identified the project number as 68002. This project consisted of three phases of development, with phase I being city hall, phase II being a commercial redevelopment, and phase III being additional public buildings. The master program included plans for a library, department store, supermarket, retail stores, a movie theatre, a hotel with a restaurant and banquet hall, a bus terminal and 160 residential units. It is not clear from the project materials whether these buildings were realized. The city hall site consisted of a concrete building on New Grower Street, which sat atop a concrete podium with parking below. A system of diagonal terraces with pedestrian areas also made up the podium. City hall, which was approximately four-storeys at its maximum height, included council chambers, offices, a great hall with artifacts and memorials, and municipal departments, among others. This project won an Award of Excellence for The Canadian Architect in 1968. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of mechanical and electrical drawings dating from 1970.

AP178.S1.1993.PR06
Description:
This project series documents the proposed design for the J. Paul Getty Museum. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 40/90. The office assigned the date 1993 to this project. The project was a collaboration between Álvaro Siza and Peter Testa. The proposal included renovations of the Villa and the Ranch House, the reorganization of the site, as well as the addition of new installations. The main change proposed by the architects was the creation of a Terrace Gallery and a natural amphitheater, forming a new entrance west of the Villa. Renovations to the Villa included modifications to the structure and the reorganization of the interior spaces. They proposed to rearrangeme the interior of the Ranch House and the construction of a 6,000 sqaure foot auditorium with a capacity of 200 people. The proposal also included the construction of a 13,000 square foot U-shaped building for the conservation program, the scholar program, and artist residency program. The main public entrance was redirected to the Los Liones Drives and a new parking area was proposed, with a 300 automobile and 6 bus capacity. In 1994, the Machado Silvetti Firm proposal was selected. Documenting this project are sketches and studies. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models and project site.

AP207.S1.1971.PR04
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's performance "Vestirsi Di Siede", also know in English as "Wearable Chairs". The performance was carried out between 3 pm and 5 pm on February 12, 1971, in the streets of Minneapolis by ten students of Pettena at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. The students, each wearing a portable chair harnessed on their back, wandered around the city, either by foot or by bus, and than returned to the college. "In this performance, it was the body that activated and gave meaning to the object: the chair only taking on meaning when carried, otherwise, it became disjointed." [1] The chairs were then put on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. A second edition of the performance was also carried out with the students from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Milan, 2011, and an installation of the chairs was presented at the exhibition "Un art pauvre" at the Centre Pompidou in 2016. The project series contains photographs of the performance by the students of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and photographs of the exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in 1971. It also contains three sketches for the chairs, a drawing of the performance and a statement about the perfomance. The project series also includes photographs of the performance of the NABA students in 2011.
