DR1987:0342
Description:
- This engraving depicts a design for an order of architecture showing the capital and the base. Although the inscriptions refer to "DORICA[E]", this is not one of the traditional orders of architecture: the acanthus leaves on the capital suggest a Corinthian model while other details, such as the dolphin heads, suggest a more personal interpretation. - This print is one of a set of four prints of capitals and bases which were engraved by Hans Sebald Beham. Patricia Condon suggests that these prints were made for a general audience rather than for architects ('Ornament and Architecture', 29). Three of the prints in the CCA collection are from the collection of the Ducs d'Arenburg, while the provenance of this print is unknown.

The performance consists of a lecture given by Pettena, standing in a window frame, speaking to people passing in the street.

AP018.S1.1970.PR10
Description:
This project series documents an expansion to an office building at the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1970. The office identified the project number as 70060. During this time, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, were commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of an expansion of the existing offices attached to cargo block B warehouse. The warehouse was also undergoing expansion at this time (see project series AP018.S1.1970.PR05 described in this fonds). The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970, which include site and floor plans, sections, elevations and electrical and mechanical drawings.
