Résumé:
The fonds documents architectural projects from 1955-1969 by the Montréal-based firm of Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Sise. Most of the 44 projects are located in Canada, and include major buildings such as Place Ville Marie, Place Bonaventure, and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Two projects are in Italy, and there is a proposed exhibition pavilion for Osaka, Japan. The fonds consists primarily of architectural drawings - design development, presentation and working drawings - and some presentation panels probably used for exhibition purposes.
