Weaver software
AP174.S2
Description:
This series contains records relating to Weaver, a software script developed by the Emergent Design Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and written in Maya Embedded Language (MEL) for Alias|Wavefront Maya. Weaver algorithmically generates woven strands and applies these strands to a surface within a 3D design model. The resulting weaves “can be complex, and depend on both the description of the weaver pattern and the topology of any user-defined surface or scaffolding in Maya on which Weaver is applied.”[1] The records in this series date from approximately 2001-2004 and include the script in Maya Executable Language (MEL) and standalone executable formats, annotated source code, tutorials, and file outputs such as images and Maya 3D models. Sources: [1] Testa, Peter and Devyn Weiser. “Material Agency,” in Network Practices: New Strategies in Architecture and Design. New York: Princeton Architectural Press (2007): 128.

Description:
This series documents two projects by the firm Eva Vecsei Architect. In 1973, Vecsei opened her own private practice after her departure from the Dimitri Dimakopoulos’ firm, where she worked from 1971 to 1973. In 1973, Vecsei was hired as an architect by Group Concordia Developers (GCD) to design La Cité, a high density mixed-use residential and commercial project in Milton Park, Montréal. The project was comprised of multifunctional complexes of residential units, offices, a shopping mall, and a hotel with a year-round outdoor pool. The project was realized by the architects Eva H. Vecsei and Dobush Stewart Longpré Marchand Goudreau. The project is also known as "Cité Concordia". The Place Bonaventure was also developed by GCD, where Vecsei was the head project designer from 1964 to 1967. Besides these projects Eva Vecsei Architect also designed concepts for the city centre (1976) and a mixed-use complex (1978) in Karachi, Pakistan. The bulk of the Eva Hollo Vecsei collection is arranged in this series and was produced between 1969 and 2008. Records are predominantly from 1974-1976, which correspond to the period of the La Cité project. Documenting La Cité are architectural records, such as presentation, design, and working drawings, as well as photographs, publications, slides, clippings, digital material (photographs), and a presentation document. This series also includes two clippings on the mixed-use complex in Karachi.

Architectural projects
AP206.S1
Description:
The Architectural projects series, 1957-2007, records 82 architectural projects of Aditya Prakash throughout his career as an architect in Chandigarh, India. Most of these projects were completed with his daughter, Chetna Prakash, through his private practice, Arcon Architects, from 1982-2007. These projects include private residences, housing complexes, university campuses, schools, factories, theatres, sport and yoga centres, offices and furniture, among others. The projects include built work, competition entries and proposals, though it is not always clear which projects were realized. While many projects were located in Chandigarh, the series documents projects across northern India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The projects in this series were identified based on their unique locations and dates. Some projects, located at the same site, consisted of multiple buildings and were designed and/or constructed over long periods of time. The materials for projects like this are described together in one project series, instead of being separated out by building or time period. These projects are recorded largely through original drawings, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, axonometric views and working drawings. However, materials for each project are sparse, often consisting of only 1-10 drawings. Textual records and photographs are also included in the materials for a few projects. The photographs show completed work, while the textual records primarily consist of client correspondence.

Collection
Collection Rohault de Fleury
CI001
Résumé:
The Rohault de Fleury collection documents the work of three generations of French architects, Hubert, his son Charles, and his grandson Georges, spanning from the early 18th to late 19th century. The collection is extremely varied encompassing both private and government commissions and including domestic work, institutional buildings, commercial buildings, urban planning, and student work from both the École des beaux-arts and the École polytechnique, and archaeological studies. Stylistically, the projects incorporate the two dominant contemporary directions in French architecture - functionalism as advocated by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand and the classicism of the École des beaux-arts.

Projet
CD034.S1.1974.PR04
Description:
This project series contains reproductions of photographs, drawings and panels displayed in the exhibit to document the São Victor neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the group of 12 houses built for the São Victor neighbourhood was one of SAAL's most important operations, despite the fact that only a small part of the project was carried out. Maintaining the urban fabric of the 'ilhas' (islands) and their internal community ties, the São Victor design combined the responsiveness inherent in the participatory nature of the project with architectural and technical precision. An important case study, it led Álvaro Siza Vieira, the project architect, being invited to design projects in Berlin and The Hague in the following decade. In many aspects, São Victor represents an ethically and politically-minded architectural practice, with a stress on understanding the link between being responsive to the voice of the people and the permanence of architectural design. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Álvaro Siza worked for SAAL/North with Adalberto Dias, Domingos Tavares, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Francisco Guedes, Graça Nieto, Manuel Borges, Manuela Sambade, Paula Cabral and the residents' association S. Victor, that was founded on April 14th, 1975. The first phase of the project included 32 dwellings and the second, 20 dwellings. The operation began in November 1974, with a construction date in October 1975. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, exhibition panels and photographs. The original material was produced around 1974-1975 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.
