AP149.S1.2004.PR01
Description:
The project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's project of research, design and construction to demonstrate the benefits of urban agriculture as a permanent feature in housing design and urban planning. A first phase of the project, from 2004 to 2007, the study project took place in developping countries in three diffrent sites: Colombo, Sri Lanka; Rosario, Argentina; and Kampala, Uganda. The project was funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and supported by the ETC-Urban Agriculture Unit in the Netherlands and the Resource centres on Urban Agriculture and Food Security (RUAF). In 2007, a second phase of the project had for objective to implement an urban agriculture production in Montréal. The Minimum Cost Housing Group team created, on McGill Campus, a vegetable garden on the terrace of a parking garage. The project is now known as "Making Edible Campus" and is still on-going. The material in this project series was produced between 2003 and 2010. The project series contains a large collection of working documents and reports submitted to funding institutions, correspondence with collaborators on the three sites, and also photographss of the project in Colombo, Kampala, Rosario sites. Also included are various artefacts related to the sites in the three developping countries and a board game "Gardenpoly" created by the Urban Agriculture seminar students on urban agriculture in Montréal. Promotional panels for the Making Edible Campus are also included.

Projet
AP206.S1.1987.PR02
Description:
This project series documents upgrades and additions to the Servants of the People Society Lajpat Rai Bhawan in Chandigarh, India from 1987-2004. The project consisted of acoustical treatments to the auditorium, the upgrade of the public bathrooms, the addition of research cabins in the library, a children's play area and a parking kiosk. In 2004, there was also a proposal to add a meditation and well-being space to the building. Due to the lengthy timeline, some of these changes may have been separate projects. The project is recorded through original drawings of plans, elevations, sections, details and an axonometric view dating from 1987-2004.
