Description:
File documents a project for Paston House School, Cambridge, England, and includes drawings for new bicycle sheds and store rooms, possibly for an existing building, including details for glazing, entrance gates and screens. Cedric Price worked for architect, David Roberts, on this project. It was undertaken during the summer of 1955, after Price received his M.A. from Cambridge University and before he began studies at the Architectural Association in London. The scope of the project cannot be determined from the drawings in this file. Material in this file was produced in1955. Information on attribution based on 'Contemporary Architects, 3rd ed.' (New York: St. James Press, 1994), s.v. "Price, Cedric"; 'CCA Consignment List'; and notes by Howard Shubert, CCA Curator of Prints and Drawings, in conversation with Cedric Price. File contains working drawings.

Description:
This series contains additional CAD and 3D modeling work made by David Ruy for RUR Architecture in order to achieve the design of architectural elements of the Kansai-kan National Diet Library competition. Files are identified as parts or elements of the building such as “upper slab”, “pig” (term used for the theater), “topo[graphical] lines”, “spiral” (a part of the store), “diagram”, “catwalks”, “ramps”, etc. File names are similar to the ones found in AP177.S1, which could indicate that the files represent different versions of the digital drawings. Under the directory FINAL PLANS, file names suggest digital drawings presenting more substantial parts of the building such as “conference level”, “plan”, and “hanging volume”. Files were created using form*Z and Alias and were saved in FMZ, DXF and OBJ formats. Series also includes, in the “scans” directory, digitized images, in JPEG format, of manual drawings of the upper and lower slab with topographical lines, the spiral and the placing of support points.

AP056.S1.1995.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the Providence Healthcare Centre in Scarborough, Ontario from 1995-2000. The office identified the project number as 9504. This project, headed by Marianne McKenna in joint-venture with Montgomery and Sisam Architects, consisted of a long-term care facility on the Healthcare Centre campus located at the corner of St. Clair East and Warden Avenues. The facility diverged from the traditional institutional model to house 288 residents in a more residential setting. Bay windows, porches and chimneys were borrowed from residential architecture to contribute to this effect. The "houses," accommodating 18 residents each, were four-storeys high and arranged in two L-shaped wings with landscaped gardens in their interior courtyards. A double-height Great Hall joined the two volumes at the building's centre, which was built to house a variety of social and recreational activities for the residents. A chapel, hair salon, café and general store were also included. The project was also known as the Cardinal Ambrozic Houses of Providence. The project is recorded through drawings and presentation watercolour paintings dating from 1995-1999. The drawings are mostly originals and include a large number of sketches along with presentation renderings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details.

Description:
File documents an executed project for interior renovations to Hobbs Food Shop, a specialty grocery store located on 29 South Audley Street, London, England. Cedric Price's design includes the layout and detailing for display and holding cases, and possibly renovations for the kitchen, basement storage and bathroom facilities. Price also proposed an unusual front entrance which is flanked on either side by sculptural "tuning forks". There is an existing conditions reference plan of no. 26 and no. 29 South Audley Street. A panel with a reprographic copy of a schematic diagram outlines possible routes to the workplace for the staff. Conceptual and design development drawings include schematic sketches; numerous alternate floor plans; triangular, bulk barrel and zig-zag configurations for display and holding cases; and thumbnail sketches for the "tuning forks" for the entrance. Design development drawings also include: plans for proposals 1 and 2 for the renovations; an enlarged plan for the forecourt and display window showing the entrance, and including a key to storage areas; an axonometric for the entrance interior and an elevation for the principal façade showing the "tuning forks"; and plans, sections, and details for shelves, display counters, and holding cases. Reprographic copies were made from the original design development drawings and these include: basement and kitchen plan layouts; a front elevation with "tuning forks" and fascia panels showing transoms and stallboards with Hobbs and Co. logo; and interior wall elevations. Some of the reprographic copies have been annotated with notes. Material in this file was produced between 1980 and 1983, but predominantly in 1981. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, a panel, models, and textual records.

Description:
This series documents Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto’s design process for the Kansai-kan of the National Diet Library competition in 1996. The variety of formats present in the series relate to the firm’s design process for this project, where manual drawings, physical models and CAD software contributed to one another throughout design iteration. Some digital files were created after the competition. Manual drawings include penciled sketches, detailed inked plans and printed CAD files generally taped on larger mylar sheets. They represent either plans or details of the building’s design. The printed renderings most often present elevations and sections of the buildings. For plans, other printed CAD files were inked back on mylar sheets. Drawings are often annotated and precisely identify the different elements of the library’s program. Digital files represent either elements of the architectural design (conveyors, auditorium, store, etc.) or detailed plans, including topographical lines and 3-D models. They include rendered and scanned images and plans in TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PICT (MacIntosh QuickDraw) and FH5 (Macromedia Freehand) file formats. Most CAD models were created in form*Z, although Microstation DGN files and IGES files created in Alias are also present in the project records. The directory “Kansai Documents” contains a few textual records created with the publishing software QuarkXPress, including labels to be printed and used on physical drawings, correspondence and a text by Jesse Reiser for the Reversible Destiny exhibition catalogue in 1997. Most directories and file names are indicative of the file’s content, clearly referring to building elements, although in some cases files names are non-descriptive. For example, some files use the name of one of the assistants (Yama). File names are sometimes repeated in different directories, including files that are part of AP177.S2.001

AP056.S1.1988.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the first scheme and final design of The Design Exchange in Toronto from 1988-1994. The office identified the project numbers as 8801 for the first scheme and 9231 for the final design. Although two project numbers were used, materials for each project cannot be clearly separated. This project consisted of the renovation, restauration and expansion of the old Toronto Stock Exchange building, located at the base of the Ernst Young Tower in the Toronto Dominion Centre. The Design Exchange (D/X) was a new cultural institution, dedicated to the economic and cultural promotion of design in the country through exhibits, lectures, banquets, trade shows and other events. With Shirley Blumberg as the partner-in-charge, the art deco style trading floor was restored as an open event space, with the original Charles Comfort murals retained. In order to create harmony between the art deco building and the neo-modernist renovations, bold, linear architectural elements such as stairs, walls, screens and bridges were reiterated throughout the design. A staircase from the trading floor led to an overlooking bridge and created a connection between the trading floor, trading gallery and resource centre. Other areas of the 40,000 square foot building included an exhibit space, café, member's lounge, retail store, seminar rooms and administrative offices. Coloured planes of cobalt blue, chartreuse and ochre were set against a material palette of red oak, cherry, limestone, glass and stainless steel. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1988-1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include a large amount of sketches. Also included are plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and drawings for custom furnishings. The photographs show the completed interiors of the building.
