Les influences radicalement divergentes qui ont marqué l’architecte James Frazer Stirling rendent impossibles la caractérisation de son œuvre, qualifiée par d’autres comme étant moderniste d’avant-guerre, néoclassique, rationaliste, brutaliste, postmoderniste.

Projet
Numéro de référence:
AP148.S1.1970.PR01
Description:
The project series documents Poli and Roberto Gherardi's work for their thesis project submitted to Professor Savioli at the University of Florence School of Architecture in 1970. Poli notes that he became an official member of Superstudio after he wrote the thesis. Some works are signed Alessandro Poli-Superstudio. The project features a competition design and proposal for an urban park in Modena, Italy. The project has been published as "Park Dedicated to the Restistance" (Lang and Menking, 2003, 170-171). This title also appears on materials in this series. Reference is made to Poli's earlier project, Piper, in some of the documentation. The project was published in the magazine AD (n.6) in June, 1971. Project contains drawings, sketches, photomontages, project documentation and the thesis text itself. Source cited: Peter Lang and William Menking, Superstudio: Life Without Objects, Milan: Skira Editore, 2003.

AP018.S1.1962.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the Bata Limited office building in Toronto from 1962-1965. The office identified the project number as 6243. This project consisted of a three-storey office building for the shoe company, Bata Limited, located at the corners of Eglington Avenue and Don Mills Road. The building consisted of a basement with mechanical equipment and storage, a first floor with waiting room, cafeteria, kitchen and conference rooms, and second and third floors with general office space. This pavilion style building had 27 tree-like columns lining the outside that the top two storeys rested upon. The interior had similar columns to carry the design inside the building. This project was celebrated as an iconic example of modern architecture in Canada. It has since been demolished. The project is recorded through construction drawings, which are mostly reprographic copies, dating from 1963-1964.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Hamilton Trade Centre and Arena in Hamilton, Ontario from 1982-1985. The office identified the project number as 8207. The project consisted of a 60,000 square foot exhibition hall and arena, which had a capacity of 18,000. Opening in November 1985, the building was designed to host sports events (primarily hockey) and concerts. The project was reported to have cost $42 million. Along with Parkin Partnership as the architecture firm, John C. Parkin’s engineering company Parkin Engineers Ltd. worked as structural engineers on the project. The building, commissioned by the city of Hamilton, was officially called Copps Coliseum after the former Hamilton mayor, Victor Copps, who pushed for its creation throughout his career. In 2014, the name was changed to FirstOntario Centre. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of construction drawings, research, construction and presentation photographs, and textual records dating from 1982-1987. The textual records show design research, client correspondence, contractor work, specifications, publicity, and financial records. Any original drawings for this project are arranged within the textual records.

AP207.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
The project series documents "Tumbleweeds Catcher", an installation by Pettena and a group of his students from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, in 1972. The installation consisted of a tower-scaffold built on a vacant lot near the city centre and covered with mesh so it could capture the tumbleweeds blown by the wind. Through this installation Pettena's intention was to "highlight the 'work of the land', the tumbleweeds moved by the wind and intercepted by the mesh of the tower, 'naturalize' it, contaminate it, thereby embodying the revenge of nature over urbanized space." [1] A second edition was later presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2013. The project series contains photographs of the installation in 1972 and 2013, and drawings and sketches of the tower. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor. Non-conscious architecture: Gianni Pettena, Sternberg Press, 2018, 235 pages. p. 162.

CD034.S1.1975.PR02
Description:
This project series contains seven reproductions of drawings displayed in the exhibit to document the Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood, in Setúbal, south of Lisbon, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the Setúbal port-city experienced the political vibrations of the revolutionary year with great intensity. The Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood was designed for a fishing community living in a difficult area to build on due to its steep incline. The challenge that the project architect Gonçalo Byrne faced was to maintain the structure of single-family housing with the outhouse or courtyard, the typology that the local populations requested, while making a large urban gesture. The proposal was based on two types of housing (the square and rectangular plans). This overcame the problem of the 36 percent slope in an architecturally striking manner, while it also managed to fulfil the major requirement inherent in any SAAL operation of minimizing costs. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Gonçalo Byrne worked for SAAL/Lisbon and Central South with Ana Ferreira Rebocho, Berta Sá Caetano and the residents' association Casal das Figueiras, that was founded on October 30th, 1975. The project included 420 dwellings. The operation began in July 1975 , with a construction date in October 1976. This project series contains reproductions of implementation plans and design development drawings. The original drawings were produced in 1978-1979 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

Description:
- This work is part of an incomplete group of possibly working reprographic copies for Electric House, Battersea Borough, designed by the borough architect, Henry Hyams. The group also includes some reprographic copies which may have been used for publication purposes. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).

Description:
- This work is part of an incomplete group of possibly working reprographic copies for Electric House, Battersea Borough, designed by the borough architect, Henry Hyams. The group also includes some reprographic copies which may have been used for publication purposes. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).
