TopSolid development
AP169.S2
Description:
Series 2, TopSolid development, 1992 - 2011, documents Bernard Cache’s contribution to the development of the software TopSolid. This series includes born-digital material and chiefly dates from 1999 - 2008. Created in 1987 by Missler software, TopSolid was one of the first computer-aided design (CAD) software usable on portable computers. Bernard Cache was an early adopter of TopSolid and was later asked to contribute to the development of further versions of the software. It then became one of the first pieces of software to support both CAD and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), which resulted from a radical proposition to link parametric design software seamlessly to robotic manufacturing. Bernard Cache’s contribution to this project underscores his interest for mathematics, geometry, and engineering reflected in his other areas of architectural and design work. Materials in this series portray Cache’s role in the development of the software. This includes programming records for the codes and configuration of the software which are primarily in plain text formats, still images and CAD formats (TopSolid). It also includes programming records for TopWood,an alternate software derived from TopSolid and developed to target the specificities of the wood industry. There are also a significant number of textual records, which constitutes training documents, bug reports, and correspondence (in Word and Excel formats).

Projet
AP144.S2.D68
Description:
File documents a self-supported study by Cedric Price's office to study the feasibility of an information storage/retrieval system. Textual records mention two possible intentions for this project: the feasibility of operating an information storage unit within the office; and to study 'the architectural implications of automated library networks especially with reference to physical location and to the question of developing an architecture which will in no way inhibit the newly developing possibilities'. Material in this file was produced between 1966 and 1972. Roy Landau appears as a research assistant or collaborator for this project. File contains textual records.

Sous-série
AP041.S3.SS02
Description:
The sub-series documents the executed exhibition project for entitled "Corridart" in Montréal, Québec, in 1976. The exhibition consists of a series of 16 installations by 60 artists spread on 7 km on Sherbrooke street between Atwater and Pie XI streets. The exhibition was curated by Melvin Charney and was financed by the ministère de la Culture du Québec as a cultural component for the Montreal Summer Olympics of 1976. Charney himself designed one of the installation "Les maison de la rue Sherbrooke" representing historical buildings of Sherbrooke street that were demolished to built new structures for the Expo 67 and later the Summer Olympics. The installations were illegally demolished after a week, on the evening of July 13th, two days before the opening of the Olympics by the City of Montréal in a controversial decision by the Mayor of Montréal, Jean Drapeau. The sub-series includes diazoprints for installation supports and maps of the installation site, photographs documenting the complete length of the North and South sides of Sherbrooke Street and a report with photographic documentation.
