Description:
The Projects series, 1911-1973, consists of Oud's work on 67 projects, mainly within The Netherlands, as well as within Germany, Czechoslovakia and the United States. The Projects Series includes Oud's early conceptual drawings, such as sketches, as well as design development drawings, such as elevations and plans. The series includes photographs of Oud’s realized buildings as well as photographs of Oud's designs.

AP075.S1.1971.PR02
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project of gardens for a housing project Marine Gardens, situated at the corner of S. W. Marine Drive and Yukon Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in 1971 with architect Michael Katz. It was created as a demonstration project for the United Nation Habitat Conference held in Vancouver in 1976. The project consisted in a middle income family housing complex of 70 two-storey town houses connected by walkways and a shared garden space. The housing complex also included a day care centre. Oberlander was in charged of designing the gardens for the row houses development and the central shared courtyard. The development has been progressively destroyed and remplaced by condo towers since 2015. The project series contains a perspective drawing and working drawings such as a site plan, a unit plan, sections and elevations, a parking level plan, landscape plans, planting plans and sections of planters. The project is also recorded through photographs of the landscape work and textual records, including specifications, correspondence, inspection reports, and plant lists.

Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandella building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N5. The office assigned the date 1988-1998 for this project. The destructive fire of 1988 started in The Grandella building. It was part of Bloco C and identified as building 5 in Siza's reconstruction plan. It was originally designed by French architect George Demaye and built by Francisco de Almeida Grandella in 1907. Siza's program included the introduction of new functions, including cultural, administrative, and retail activities. Due to the historic importance of the building in Lisbon, a particular effort was made to restore the original façade. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings and structural drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, studies, meeting reports and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, and construction work. There is also a study model for this project. Documentation can also be found in subseries Master plans and exterior spaces (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1) and Bloco C (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7).

AP148.S1.1991.PR01
Description:
Project series comprises design and promotional material for a bed entitled "Il carro di giove" designed by Poli in 1991. The bed was made for F.lli Ciulli (likely Fratelli Ciulli), based in Florence, Italy, and an accompanying blanket was made for the textile design company Fanair. The bed project was featured in the 1991 publication Catalogo Armonia by publisher Ponte alla Grazie in Florence, as well as the April 1992 issue of Casa Vogue (no. 240). The design features a large alabaster disc suspended from an iron frame. Project material in the series ranges from early sketches to drawings and collages of the bed in various media, with some drawings overlayed with wax and silver paper. Also included are excerpted pages from the Catalogo Armonia, featuring a conversation with Sergio Cammilli, who commissioned furniture designs from architects and contemporary artists. The Catalogo Armonia pages also feature images of the bed and blanket prototype. This project series includes textile reference studies, though no drawings or designs for the bed's blanket were received from Poli.

Description:
This project series documents renovations to the Ontario Association of Architects headquarters in Toronto from 1974-1978. The office identified the project number as 7420. This project consisted of renovations to the heating, air conditioning and lighting systems of the office building. The project also investigated an expansion of the building within its current perimeter, stating a horizontal expansion would be too expensive due to the poor condition of the surrounding ground. A third floor addition to the three-level building was recommended. The headquarters had been designed by John C. Parkin's previous firm, John B. Parkin Associates, in the 1950s and was located at 50 Park Road. The project is recorded through textual records and reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1973-1978. The drawings are all arranged within the textual materials, which consist of containing correspondence, interoffice memos, supplementary instructions, change orders, certificates of payment, inspection and conference reports, contract documents and a feasibility study.

At the same time that Parkin Architects Planners was constructing the Etobicoke General Hospital, they began working on this project, an adjacent medical clinic that would be attached to the hospital via tunnel. This project proposed an 80 suite medical centre to be built to the south-west of the hospital. However, eventually the location of the building was moved and the project was given a new project number by the office. The building was eventually constructed under the new project number which is also documented in this fonds (see project series AP018.S1.1974.PR22 for these records). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1972-1973. The majority of drawings are reprographic copies that show site plans, parking studies, floor plans and elevations. Textual records include questionnaires administered to the tenants (doctors and medical departments) regarding their unique office needs.

This project series documents an office building located at 1500 Don Mills Road in North York, Ontario from 1981-1982. The office identified the project number as 8107. This project consisted of a twelve storey office building, approximately 286,939 square feet in size. The design also included basement parking and a mechanical penthouse. This was to be a second office building to the one already located at that address. In 1976, Parkin Architects Planners began work on two phases of development for the property at 1500 Don Mills for their client Marathon Realty. Phase I consisted of an office building. This project, a second office building, was planned for Phase II, along with a parking structure. It is not clear from the materials in this project series whether the building was ever constructed. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1981-1982. The drawings show site plans, typical floor plans and area calculations. The textual records consist of documents dealing with the rezoning of the property.
