DR1988:0437:047
Description:
- This etching of a fireworks construction or macchina represents a public celebration of the making of a poison antidote "che si fà nella Città di Venezia" (as it is done in Venice). The macchina consists of a pavilion raised on a base. The pavilion appears to be square, with a central opening a large smoking vat of theriaca. The top storey appears to be octagonal and is crowned by a tent. The relief on the front of the octagon shows a view of the Piazza San Marco and the Doge's Palace from the Molo.

Fonds PGL architectes
AP014
Résumé:
Le fonds PGL architectes, 1959 – 1994, témoigne des activités de la firme d’architecture montréalaise, Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc architectes, autant que ses sociétés affiliées et firmes remplaçantes. La majorité du fonds comprend des documents qui représentent 70 projets architecturaux, incluant des projets entrepris à travers le Québec, à Ottawa, à de multiples endroits au Nunavut, ainsi que des projets internationaux. Le fonds met en évidence la participation du PGL dans la construction d'infrastructure coloniale au Nunavik et au Nunavut, y compris les travaux sur des écoles associées avec des foyers fédéraux, qui sont reconnus comme faisant partie du système des pensionnats autochtones du Canada. De plus, le fonds documente l’utilisation des panneaux de fibre de verre modulaires employés par PGL. Pour la plupart, les documents dans ce fonds se composent des dessins, des documents photographiques, et des documents textuels. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The PGL architectes fonds, 1959 - 1994, documents the work and activities of the Montréal-based architecture firm, Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc architectes, and its successor and affiliate companies. The records within this fonds represent 70 architectural projects undertaken by the firm, which include projects throughout Québec, Ottawa, and various locations in Nunavut, as well as some international projects. The fonds offers evidence of PGL’s participation in the construction of colonial infrastructure in Nunavik and Nunavut, including work on schools that are connected to Federal Hostels which are recognised as part of Canada's Indian Residential School system. The fonds also contains records documenting PGL’s use of modular, fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels in construction. The records within this fonds largely consist of drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

DR1988:0023:001-017
Description:
Part of a miscellaneous group of visual and textual documents collected by Oswald Mathais Ungers, apparently to represent the work of artists/architects in Die gläserne Kette. This group includes both text and drawings from Die gläserne Kette, as well as other correspondence. Texts are mostly reprographic copies of letters, with a few typescripts and manuscripts. The documents were accessioned as received in a grey folder inscribed with Taut's name and pseudonum and including a smaller paper folder inscribed "Not published."

Fonds Barry Downs
AP077
Résumé:
The Barry Downs fonds contains 6 drawings and 8 presentation panels for a total of 11 projects conceived between 1956 and 1968. This period coincided with Down's position as design architect for Thompson, Berwick, Pratt & Partners, and his subsequent partnership with Fred Thornton Hollingsworth. The documents, particularly the drawings, reveal the considerable skill Downs possessed as both a draughtsman and a designer.

Office dA project records
AP179
Résumé:
The Office dA project records, 1991-2007, document the firm’s work on the Casa La Roca, Witte Arts Center, and Tongxian Arts Center projects. All three projects involved the use of traditional and locally-sourced materials, such as brick and terracotta block, to create continuous surfaces that appear structural despite remaining an architectural effect in the skin of the building. The archive consists of approximately 8362 digital files (8.5 GB), 1461 drawings and reproductions, four models and approximately 40 model pieces, as well as photographic materials, textual records and ephemera.

Description:
Part of a miscellaneous group of visual and textual documents collected by Oswald Mathias Ungers, apparently to represent the work of artists/architects in Die gläserne Kette. Primarily formal in purpose, this group includes abstract compositions as well as architectural projects such as the Revolving House. Includes reprographic copies of drawings and a draft of Taut's introduction to the Akademie der Künste catalogue, 'Die gläserne Kette' (p. 5-6). These reprographic copies were accessioned as received in an orange folder inscribed with Taut's name and pseudonym.

DR1988:0160
Description:
- Design for a tall, rectangular tiled stove, decorated with a red and blue pattern, possibly a spiral. The yellow rectangle near the bottom probably represents the stove door. - The subject of this drawing is identified as a tiled stove by comparison with similar drawings in the group DR1988:0155 - DR1988:0209. Several of these drawings have identifying inscriptions, such as "Ofen" (stove) and "Kachelofen" (tiled stove), which are probably by the draughtsman. Henze illustrates examples of "Kachelofen" which are similar to this one in size and proportion (fig. 105, p. 98 and fig. 114, p. 103).
