Projet
AP206.S1.1987.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for new structures and upgrades to the Mysore Dasara Exhibition complex in Mysuru, India in 1987. It should be noted that the previous name of Mysuru was Mysore. The project consisted of upgrades to the existing exhibition grounds to create permanent infrastructure for the annual festivities. The client, Karnataka Exhibition Authority, asked architects to design a general layout for the site including pavilions, administrative offices, restaurants, kiosks, parking, amusements and theatres, among many others. A new entrance gate was also emphasized in the competition guidelines. The project is recorded through drawings of the site, gate and museum dating from around 1987 and correspondence dating from 1987.

Personal Papers
AP032.S1
Description:
This series contains chronologically-arranged papers, photographs and drawings concerning Goldsmith's life from about the time of his enrollment at the Armour Institute in Chicago, to the mid-1950s when he returned from Europe to America to join Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. These documents are records of Goldsmith's early influences, and his education and training as an architect at the Armour Institute (later the Illinois Institute of Technology) and at the University of Rome. The papers also concern his service as an structural engineer in the U.S. armed forces, work in the office of Mies van der Rohe, and travels in Europe in the early 1950's all of which could be also considered as part of his education. The documents in this series are interesting for the quantity of Goldsmith's student sketches and research notes, including lectures by and observations on Mies van der Rohe and Pier Luigi Nervi. Moreover, correspondence, notes and photographs reveal a variety of other important influences on the young Goldsmith, such as a pilgrimage to visit Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesan East, and letters to Buckminister Fuller. Of particular interest are the papers concerning Mies van der Rohe as teacher, mentor and friend to Goldsmith. The fonds contains various documents from office files, including Goldsmith's notations on projects like the Farnsworth House, and collections of period photographs and blueprints of Mies' buildings and furniture designs. Related documentation on Mies exists in various files throughout the fonds, especially in the Mies van der Rohe Centennial Project located in Series 3: Professional Activities - Teaching. The last section in this series, Papers and Correspondence, which consists of personal and business papers dating from the late 1950's to the mid-1990's. This material includes the Goldsmith-Ferris Portfolio, a collection of 150 mounted photographs (possibly for an exhibition) that presents mostly Goldsmith's collaborative work with architect James Ferris, from the experimental projects in reinforced concrete in Rome to the Kitt Peak Solar Telescope of 1962. Also included are documents concerning Mies van der Rohe's Mansion House Square scheme as revived by architect Peter Carter (1982-84).

Projet
AP056.S1.1990.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the Nicolas store at 86 Bloor Street West in Toronto in 1990. The office identified the project number as 9010. This project consisted of renovations to the existing 983 square foot space to accommodate the high-end menswear store. Located at ground level at the corner of Bellair Street, renovations to the interiors included mechanical and electrical upgrades, as well as new finishes and fitments. The finishes were done in wood veneer panelling and stone and polished concrete flooring. Fitments included new lighting fixtures, rack systems and other clothing display furnishings. Renovations to the exterior consisted of reglazing part of the Bellair Street facade and recladding. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1990. Photographs show the finished store and the drawings include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives and furnishings drawings. Many of the furnishings drawings are for the new rack system.
