Projet
AP144.S2.D49
Description:
File documents an executed project for children's furniture, in Worthing, West Sussex, England, United Kingdom, and shows designs for custom furniture units for sleeping, working, washing, dressing, and storage for a 9' x 12' room. The project was for the same clients, Mr and Mrs T. L. Blau, who commissioned the garden pavilion, which Price designed in 1962 (AP144.S2.D32). Drawings include fabrication drawings for a bunk bed, dresser, bunk bed tables, wardrobe and retractable desk; perspective and isometric views of proposed bedroom layouts; and construction details of manufactured "Dexion slotted aluminum angle hardware." (Price with Murray 1971, 35). Material from this file was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 35. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1964. File contains working drawings, textual records, and photographic materials.

Projet
AP075.S1.1990.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Ritsumeikan House, a combine residential and educational faculty on Agronomy Road at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in 1990-1993 with architectural firm Matsuzaki Wright Architects. The project consisted in designing a landscape that will include an already existing treed courtyard with mature pine trees on small mounds. Oberlander added a paved pathways between the mounds leading the entrances of the buildings. The landscape design also included planters and tree planting along the buildings. The project was completed in 1992. The project series contains design development drawings, such as landscape plans and planting plans, and working drawings such as planting plans, grading plans, and irrigation plans, and presentation drawings, including landscape plans. The project is also documented through concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence with architects and clients, reports, meetings documents, specifications, plant lists, financial documents and photographs of the planting.

AP018.S1.1981.PR19
Description:
This project series documents the Nova Computer Centre in Calgary, Alberta from 1981-1984. The office identified the project number as 8119. This project consisted of a three-storey building with a basement and penthouse, located at 10th Avenue and 15th Street. The building was designed to house the computer equipment of Novalta Properties Ltd., their corporate records, and support staff. The building was separated in two by function with a central atrium in the center. Overall, the project had 131,000 square feet of developable area. The project is recorded through drawings, material samples, and textual records dating from 1981-1984. The drawings include plans, details, elevations and sections. These drawings are marked The Chandler Kennedy Architectural Group, who were the consulting architects on the project. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference and inspection reports, tender documents, cost control and building statistics records, interior design and contractor documentation, certificates of payment, supplementary instructions, change orders, interoffice letters, and specifications.
