Joseph Rykwert fonds
AP209
Résumé:
The Joseph Rykwert fonds, 1928-2022, documents Joseph Rykwert’s career as an architectural historian, author and professor. The fonds includes the records for over a dozen monographs written between the mid-1960s and the mid-2010s as well as edited works and articles, and details his teaching and lecturing activities from the 1960s onwards in universities in Europe and the United States. The records highlight Joseph Rykwert’s multidisciplinary approach, which involved archaeology, anthropology and psychoanalysis in his study of the history and theory of architecture and of the urban form. The fonds is composed of textual records, publications and ephemera, and of photographs including multiple albums and a large number of slides; the fonds also documents Joseph Rykwert’s career as an independent designer through drawings realized between the late 1940s and the late 1970s.

DR1960:0021
Description:
- This drawing, by an unknown Italian artist, active probably in the area of Bologna in the last half of the 17th century, illustrates some of the conventions of quadratura design - the art of illusionistic wall and ceiling painting - that evolved during that century. Part of a wall and adjacent ceiling are shown as one continuous unfurling of space on a flat sheet of paper. The curve between the vertical and diagonal lines at the left-hand edge of the design indicate a modest coving. Around and above a doorway several ionic columns support an arch and archivolt which is decorated with acanthus leaves, putti, ram's head, and urn below, and satyrs, putti, garlands and urns above. A cornice, cartouche, balustrade, and scrolled pediment complete the decorations.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building for Marathon Realty in Toronto at the corner of York and Front Streets from 1980-1983. The office identified the project number as 8009. The project consisted of two nineteen storey towers with stainless steel and glass exteriors connected by a glass atrium on each floor. Owned and commissioned by Marathon Realty, the majority of the building’s space was designed for rental. Due to this, the design was highly modular with no interior walls on most floors. Each floor was approximately 18,000 square feet. The ground floor consisted of a lobby, a bank and a restaurant. At the beginning of this project, the project was named Marathon Realty Office Building, Front and York Streets. Soon after, the office building became known as University Place, which it is often referred to as in these materials. Eventually, the building would become the headquarters of CitiBank and renamed Citigroup Place. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, textual records and other materials dating from 1980-1987. The majority of the drawings are located within the textual records and show the design of building details. Other drawings include site surveys, design development drawings, presentation drawings, and construction drawings. The photographs show construction progress, tests, models, and the finished project. The textual records contain the project proposal, contracts, client and contractor correspondence, inter-office memos, meeting minutes, financial records, change orders, supplementary instructions, specifications, detail planning, artist’s portfolios for the building’s art competition, site inspection reports, and schedules. File AP018.S1.1980.PR09.004 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office. The CCA also holds materials for a subproject under this project series, which document the installation of signs to the top of the building after the building's construction (AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS1). Subproject materials are viewed separately from the project due to the different project numbers originally assigned by the office.
