Projet
AP018.S1.1973.PR14
Description:
This project series documents a site investigation for an office for J. Douglas Crashley in downtown Toronto from 1973-1975. The project was identified as number 7314. During this time, J. Douglas Crashley, a prominent Toronto entrepreneur, sought to develop a combined high-rise, low-rise office building in downtown Toronto. This project investigated possible sites in the CN Tower area to build that office tower. The project often refers to the Walker House, which was a 19th century hotel on the corner of York and Front Streets that developers hoped to demolish. This site, and sites next to the Toronto Convention Centre and CN Tower were also investigated. The proposed office building ranged from 25 to 40 storeys, with three levels of underground parking. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1973-1975. The drawings are mostly originals that show typical floor plans, sections, elevations and site plans, while the textual records include correspondence, a meeting report and drawing transmittals.

AP164.S1.1987.D3
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction vertical structure prototype to install on skyscrapers and communication towers. This design was recycled for other Abalos & Herreros projects, such as for the Residual water treatment plant, “El Chaparral”, Guadarrama (AP164.S1.1986.D5.SD3) and for the Centro de Calculo de Telefónica, Madrid (AP164.S1.1989.D1). It was also transformed into a water tower (Torre de agua) in 1990. The firm identified this project as number 48. Documenting the project are design development drawings and notes.

Projet
AP164.S1.2002.D8
Description:
The project series documents the design for a residential tower for youth in the district of Sant Andreu, Barcelona. The design was for the account of the City Council and the Patronat Municipal de l'Habitatge. The promoter REGESA, Societat Urbanística Metropolitana Rehabilitació i Gestió, worked with Abalos & Herreros for this project that was never built. The project site was located between the streets Ferran Junoy, Tucuman and Borredà, nearby the shopping center La Maquinista. The firm identified this project as number 152. Records document first and second iterations of the design for the tower, primarily differentiated by the base of the building. The first design includes a rectangular base. The firm identified this iteration of the project as number 152-1. The second design of the tower includes a triangular base for the building. The firm identified this iteration as number 152-2. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development, presentation and working drawings, cartographic, digital and reference materials, project descriptions, correspondence, proposals, budgets, notes, agendas, contracts, invoices, trade catalogues, and paper models. Records predominantly date from 2001 to 2007.
