Projet
Numéro de référence:
AP018.S1.1974.PR19
Description:
This project series documents a parking structure for the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1974-1975. The office identified the project number as 7425. This project consisted of a five-level, above ground parking garage with a capacity of approximately 5000 vehicles. The parking structure was designed for Terminal Two at the airport (now known as Toronto Pearson International Airport) and would connect departing and arriving passengers from the airport to the structure via tunnels. Parkin Architect Planners were hired as the consulting architects for this project by Fenco-Barton Engineers. Fenco Barton was awarded with the Prestressed Concrete Institute Award in 1979 to for excellence in architectural and engineering design using precast and prestressed concrete. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1974-1975. The drawings are mostly original sketches of the design. Photographs and negatives show research on other parking structures. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters and project notes. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR19.009 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office

Une architecture des humeurs
Une architecture des humeurs
Numéro de référence:
AP193.S4
Description:
Series 4, Une architecture des humeurs, 2008-2011, documents the conception and the presentation of exhibition and project Une architecture des humeurs. Presented at Le laboratoire art gallery in Paris between January and May 2010, Une architecture des humeurs is a conceptual, unbuilt, residential urban structure based on a potential future in which contemporary science reads human physiology and chemical balance. The idea is to acquire a chemistry of the “humors”, or the moods and temperament, of future purchasers. Taken as input, the information generates a diversity of habitable morphologies and relationships between them. With this process, the project attempts to make palpable and graspable, through technologies, the emotions of the participants captured via the chemistry of their body. The goal is to gather information on their capacity of adaptation, their level of sympathy and empathy while confronted to a situation or an environment. This information is then analyzed by computational, mathematical, and machinist procedures. This leads to the design and production of an urban structure submitted to the improbable and uncertain protocols produced by emotions, also creating aggregations and layouts that rearticulate the links between the individual and the collective. These structures are calculated following simultaneously incremental and recursive structural optimization protocols resulting in the physicality and morphology of architecture. The layout of the residential units and the structural trajectories are conceived and developed as posterior to the constructs supporting social life and not as an a priori. The structure of each components of the urban structure is generated by a secretion and weaving machine called Viab02. The machine is the second prototype of VIAB which was developed with Robotics Research Lab of the University of Southern California and takes its name from the terms viability and variability. With a process similar to contour crafting, the machine produces bio-cement, a mix between cement and bio-resin, giving form to the adapted residential structures. The records consist largely of images detailing the creative process of the firm, photographs of the exhibition, and 3D models. It also contains animated renderings representing the machine in action and sequences of the construction of the building or the structure. The records include a video orienting the project into François Roche theoretical stance, research as speculation, that can be summarize as the use of technological tools to take a critical and political position through esthetic in order to open new lines of thoughts. AP193.S2 contains updated previous version of the VIAB machine

Description:
- The inscribed titles on two drawings by Théophile Fahrland indicate that the subjects are a "tambour" [drum] (AR1996:1001:232) and details for a "tambour" (AR1996:1001:231) for Notre-Dame de Montréal. The subject of these drawings is identified as a "bearing wall [?]", since the definition of a "drum" - a vertical wall, either circular or polygonal in plan, that carries a dome - apparently does not apply in this case (Art and Architecture Thesaurus). Further research is required to determine the subject of these drawings more precisely.

AP206.S1.1960.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Tagore Theatre in Sector 18 in Chandigarh, India from 1960-1962. This project consisted of a 600-seat theatre comprised of two square-shaped volumes, turned on their axis to overlap at their corners. The stage was located directly at the overlap, with the back-of-house occupying one square and the audience in the other. Inside, the roof frame was left exposed and meticulous detail was paid to the theatre's acoustics. The building's brick exterior had almost no windows, except those located along the first-level below a canopy that wrapped the theatre. Large-scale alterations have since been made to the iconic theatre. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1949-2001. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies, but many are annotated. There are a number of drawings dating from 1999-2001 that likely show future work to the theatre, since they are outside the scope of the theatre's original construction. The textual records consist of research on theatre design, dating much earlier than this project, and a magazine review of the acoustics in the Tagore Theatre.

AR1996:1001:231
Description:
- The inscribed titles on two drawings by Théophile Fahrland indicate that the subjects are a "tambour" [drum] (AR1996:1001:232) and details for a "tambour" (AR1996:1001:231) for Notre-Dame de Montréal. The subject of these drawings is identified as a "bearing wall [?]", since the definition of a "drum" - a vertical wall, either circular or polygonal in plan, that carries a dome - apparently does not apply in this case (Art and Architecture Thesaurus). Further research is required to determine the subject of these drawings more precisely.
