Saat Rasta
AP182.S1.2012.D2
Description:
File documents an executed project for a live-work complex in Mumbai, India, that reuses the structure of an existing fire-damaged warehouse. The name of the project, Saat Rasta, translates literally to Seven Roads, a reference to a nearby roundabout. The site is immediately adjacent to the Central railroad as well as an informal housing settlement, qualities which made the location undesirable for developers. To adhere to zoning regulations, the design recoups the warehouse's original basalt stone perimeter wall. Brick infill delineates the units, while new wood-frame and cement-panel walls shape interior spaces. Each unit contains one or two courtyards, the roofs of which tilt inward to capture rain and avoid draining water on the surrounding housing. The courtyards also allow for the growth of local vegetation, especially Goolar figs, which had overgrown on the site before its redevelopment. File contains photographs, drawings, and a model.

AP018.S1.1977.PR02
Description:
This project series documents renovations and an addition to the Safeco Insurance Company of America office building in Mississauga, Ontario from 1977-1980. The office identified the project number as 7702. Beginning in 1973, Parkin Architects Planners began work on the construction of the Safeco office building. This project consisted of renovations to the original building and an addition, which was one-storey and approximately 30,400 square feet in size. Safeco was to occupy about 1/3 of the new space, while the rest would be rented to tenants. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1975-1986. Photographic materials include slides, negatives and photos of the site, construction progress, construction issues and the finished building. Textual records include correspondence, interoffice letters, construction and tender records, specifications, financial records, meeting reports, change orders, supplementary instructions, contract data, inspection reports, design records and consultancy records.

DR1988:0402
Description:
- This drawing shows a two-storey house with a pitched roof. The front façade is symetrically disposed and includes leaded glass work over the main entrance. - 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).
