Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandes Armazéns do Chiado building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N4. The office assigned the dates 1988-1998 for this project. The Grandes Armazéns do Chiado was part of Bloco C and identified as building 4 in Siza's reconstruction plan. The site of the Grandes Armazéns served several different functions in its history, including a hotel, a palace, and a convent, before becoming a department store in 1894. In the 1920s, a hotel was created at the top floors. After the destructive fire of 1988, the new owners of the building were interested in using the totality of the building for a shopping mall and restaurants. On the other hand, Siza's proposal included the expansion of the hotel in the building to introduce more public activity in the area after the regular work and shopping hours. Several programs were proposed to the owners of the building, and it was decided in 1996 that the hotel space would be reduced to the two top floors to have more room for the shopping center. The new division included 41 hotel rooms and 41 stores. The interior of the shopping mall was designed by Eduardo Souto Moura. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings, and structural drawings. Textual material includes project documentation, studies, meeting reports, and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, model, and construction work. Documentation for this project can also be found in subseries AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1 and AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7 of this project series.

AP056.S1.1989.PR07
Description:
This project series documents the interiors of the Creeds store in Toronto from 1989-1990. The office identified the project number as 8926. This project consisted of renovations to the interiors of the high-end retail store located in Toronto's Manulife Centre at the corner of Bloor and Bay Streets. The store, with entrances from the mall and street, included several smaller boutiques divided by designer, a large fur storage area and work room, a fur salon, a stock room and changing rooms. A major part of this renovation was the creation of a multifunctional court space connected to the rest of the linear boutiquerie via two small staircases. This court could be used for fashion shows, presentations, season displays, and social events. The court had a circular ceiling light fixture, stone-clad piers, stained cherry wood panels and sandblasted steel details. The floors, patterned with black slate and granite, were complimentary to the boutique's concrete and black and silver glass tile floors. Also central to this project was the creation of the Christian Dior boutique at the street entrance. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1989-1990. The drawings, mostly originals, consist of sketches, axonometric drawings, sections, plans, elevations, details and schedules. The photographs show the completed store interiors.

Description:
This series documents two projects by the firm Eva Vecsei Architect. In 1973, Vecsei opened her own private practice after her departure from the Dimitri Dimakopoulos’ firm, where she worked from 1971 to 1973. In 1973, Vecsei was hired as an architect by Group Concordia Developers (GCD) to design La Cité, a high density mixed-use residential and commercial project in Milton Park, Montréal. The project was comprised of multifunctional complexes of residential units, offices, a shopping mall, and a hotel with a year-round outdoor pool. The project was realized by the architects Eva H. Vecsei and Dobush Stewart Longpré Marchand Goudreau. The project is also known as "Cité Concordia". The Place Bonaventure was also developed by GCD, where Vecsei was the head project designer from 1964 to 1967. Besides these projects Eva Vecsei Architect also designed concepts for the city centre (1976) and a mixed-use complex (1978) in Karachi, Pakistan. The bulk of the Eva Hollo Vecsei collection is arranged in this series and was produced between 1969 and 2008. Records are predominantly from 1974-1976, which correspond to the period of the La Cité project. Documenting La Cité are architectural records, such as presentation, design, and working drawings, as well as photographs, publications, slides, clippings, digital material (photographs), and a presentation document. This series also includes two clippings on the mixed-use complex in Karachi.

Projet
AP018.S1.1969.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the master plan for the future Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) expansion projects in Toronto in 1969. The office identified the project number as 69035. This project outlines the complete master plan for future expansions of the gallery. For decades, the AGO, under its previous name, The Art Gallery of Toronto, consisted of the nineteenth century Grange mansion and a gallery to its north. The project shows the growth of the AGO from two small buildings surrounded by parks to a much larger two storey building that would touch Dundas Street to the north, Beverly Street to the West, and McCaul Street and the Ontario College of Art to the East. In total, three stages were proposed in this plan to increase the AGO sevenfold from 32,000 square feet of gallery space to 253,000 square feet. In addition, a parking lot was proposed in the Dundas Street Mall to the east of the gallery. Originally, the stages were known in the documentation as Phases I, II, III, and IA but their names evolved with the project. Each stage was eventually given its own project number by the office and the original master plan documented in this project series changed in size and design over the years. This project contract was originally given to John B. Parkin Associates. However, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through drawings, including presentation boards, dating from 1965-1978. The majority of these are original drawings showing the design planning of the art gallery.
