Sous-série
AP197.S1.SS9
Description:
This subseries is comprised of notes, drafts, research, and photographic materials that were organized by topic. Unlike Kenneth Frampton’s research files which are arranged in Series AP197.S2, these files were compiled for book projects, articles, book reviews, lectures, interviews, conference addresses, and keynote speeches, and document over 300 of Frampton's published or unpublished texts. The materials include notes, contracts, drafts, correspondence, final copies of texts, photographic materials, and research materials. This subseries also includes Frampton’s curriculum vitaes, notebooks, and covers he designed for the journal Architectural Design (1962-1964). The files are organized alphabetically by the topic explored, namely architects. Some of these architects include: Alvar Aalto; Tadao Ando; Georges Baines; Luis Barragan; H.P. Berlage; Mario Botta; Alberto Campo Baeza; David Chipperfield; Alvaro Siza; Michael Kagan; Louis Kahn; Rem Koolhaas; Kengo Kuma; Kisho Kurakawa; Adolf Loos; Le Corbusier; Raphael Moneo; Carlo Scarpa; O.M. Ungers; Raj Rewal; Rogelio Salmona; Frank Lloyd Wright; and Monica Pidgeon. Subjects explored in these texts include: photography; the predicament of environmental design; reciprocal regionalism; the British Library; China's sacred sites; reflections on the oppositions of architecture and building; reflections on Perspecta; and the role of education. Large portions of these boxes document the publications "World Architecture 1900-2000: a Critical Mosaic" (1999), "Le Corbusier" (1997 and 2002), "American Masterworks: the Twentieth Century House" (1995), and "American Masterworks" (2008). Some folders may include coloured tabs with the note "copied." These tabs were used to identify whether the particular writing/project in question had been added to Frampton's curriculum vitae.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the University of Ottawa Health Sciences Building in Ottawa, Ontario from 1974-1984. The office identified the project number as 7402. The Ottawa Heath Sciences Complex, a vast hospital network encompassing institutions across the city, hired Parkin Architects Planners in 1971 to design and construct University of Ottawa buildings within the network. These campus buildings were located in the Alta Vista neighbourhood and referred to as the Health Sciences Centre. This project consists of one building in that complex, the Health Sciences Building. The distinction between these names should be noted when viewing the materials. The Health Sciences Building was built as a teaching hospital and the main hub of clinical learning at the University of Ottawa’s School of Medicine. The building was conceived as a response to a lack of research spaces in Ottawa hospitals at that time. The building was proposed to be 230,000 net assigned square feet, with 75,000 net assigned square feet designated as research space. The project is recorded through textual records, construction photographs, drawings and artwork dating from 1971-1984. The textual records show correspondence with the clients, consultants and contractors, construction change orders and instructions, site and construction reports, meeting minutes, specifications, financial records, detail and product research and planning, and schedules. There are also a large number of detail drawings disbursed throughout the textual records. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR02.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the design of a condominium complex in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec from 1974-1976. The office identified the project number as 7426. This project consisted of a proposed condominium complex, composed of multiple low-rise buildings, with approximately 40-54 units located on Senneville Road next to the Lake of Two Mountains. Many schemes were considered for this project, including one with a series of modular buildings on a diagonal grid, and another with a perimeter of modular buildings with a courtyard in the middle. Despite the scheme, these condo buildings were always low-rise, with a few units per building. This may have been due to the fact that the lot was zoned for single dwelling, townhouse, duplex or triplex homes with a maximum of three storeys. There were also several schemes for the parking, such as a parking garage, individual driveways, or parking underground each unit. This project, commissioned by TransAtlantic Consultants Limited in Montreal, changed many times as budgets were reduced over the years. In the end, it seems the project was never constructed. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1974-1976. Most of the drawings are original design drawings of plans, sections, elevations and an isometric, with some reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice memos, survey and site data, local by-laws, construction documentations, cost estimates and research. There is an index to the textual records, created by the office, located before file AP018.S1.1974.PR20.007.

Description:
This project series documents additions and alterations to the McCutcheon Residence in Gormley, Ontario (now Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario) from 1981-1982. The office identified the project number as 8112. This project consisted primarily of a large addition onto the east side of the existing brick house. The first part of the addition, attached directly onto the existing house, was two storeys to match the original, and contained the master bedroom and sitting room on the second floor, a large kitchen with walk-in pantry and dining area on the main floor, and storage in the basement. The second part of the addition ran perpendicular to the rest of the house, attached to the new kitchen, and was one storey. It contained the staff quarters at the front of the house, and two garages at the back, including one for skidoos and tractors. Alterations to the current home were also made, including the removal of the patio at the back of the home and of the walls that enclosed the existing pool and kitchen. The addition used similar materials to the existing home, which included cedar shingles, brick walls, and copper roofing over the windows. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1981-1982. The drawings consist of sketches, floor and site plans, elevations, sections, and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings. Drawings of the existing home are also present. The photographs are of aerial views of the house and surrounding area and textual records consist of contractor documentation.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the residence of A.W. Billes and his family at 30 High Point Road in North York, Toronto from 1973-1975. The office identified the project number as 7302. This project consisted of a ten bedroom home for Toronto businessman Alfred W. Billes, who was part of the Canadian Tire founding family and part owner at this time. The extravagant home included tennis courts, a pool, an indoor atrium with gardens, staff quarters, a library, and a piano room, among others. Built in the Bridle Path neighbourhood, the home was designed in the modernist style with two terraced balconies facing the street. Following the completion of the project, A.W. Billes sued the firm of Parkin Partnership Architects Planners over dissatisfaction with the construction, a case that was appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Parkin lost the case in 1984 and had to pay A.W. Billes approximately $125,000. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, slides, a project painting, and textual records dating from 1973-1984. The drawings are a mix of original sketches and construction drawings. The photographs and slides show the completed project. The textual records include construction documentation, design notes, interoffice memos, correspondence, meeting and site reports, extensive lawsuit documentation, contract data, a project manual for the homeowners and consultancy records. Some of the drawings and textual records are labelled Part 7', but it is unclear from the documentation what this refers to. There are a large number of construction drawings, some sketches, and detail drawings arranged within the textual materials.

DR1974:0002:009:001-079
Description:
- This album contains mostly design development and presentation drawings - plans, sections and elevations - for three projects: structures for Parc de Clichy, an "entrepôt de vins" with a "guinguette", and a "maison du blanchisseur". Structures proposed for Parc de Clichy include one - or possibly two - washhouses, a sewer, a reservoir and a manège (riding school). There appears to be two alternate designs for the manège and three for the reservoir. The first reservoir design is a simple building with arched entrances and a small balcony (DR1974:0002:009:020 - DR1974:0002:009:025); the second design is more elaborate, consisting of a rectangular building enclosing the reservoir basin and two square two-storey buildings with Ionic columns and quoins (DR1974:0002:009:031 - DR1974:0002:009:035). The first manège design (DR1974:0002:009:011 - DR1974:0002:009:019) consists of an unornamented rectangular building with a central octagonal space. The final proposal for structures at Parc de Clichy in this album (DR1974:0002:009:036 - DR1974:0002:009:049) incorporates both the reservoir and the second design for the manège, one on each side of rue de Lavoir. The reservoir is virtually identical to the first reservoir design, and the manège complements the reservoir in its exterior appearance. Many of the drawings for structures for Parc de Clichy depict the hydraulic systems. Twenty-three drawings for the "entrepôt de vins" include variant designs for site layout and buildings (probably warehouses) and for the adjacent "guinguette" (open air cafe). Parc de Clichy and the "entrepôt de vins" were perhaps at the same location, as indicated by drawings DR1974:0002:009:011, DR1974:0002:009:069 and DR1974:0002:009:078. An unidentified building on site plans for the "entrepôt de vins" is similar in plan and siting to the first manège design for Parc de Clichy. The relationship of the five variant designs for a "maison du blanchisseur" to the other projects in this album is unclear. All of the buildings in the album were intended to be finished in stone or a combination of stone, brick and/or tiles.

Description:
The CCA collection includes albums of drawings for some of Charles Rohault de Fleury's most important public architectural projects, built and unbuilt. They provide valuable insight into his design development process, construction techniques, and flexibility regarding building types and styles, as well as illuminating the larger issues of urban planning and the complex interaction between architect, contractor, and entrepreneur in mid-19th century France. The neo-Moorish Hippodrome National (DR1974:0002:017:001-060) - an ephemeral structure constructed of a wood frame with canvas sheathing- was built adjacent to the Place de l'Étoile in 1845 and destroyed in 1856. The documents and drawings in the album provide a highly detailed and complete overview of the project from the study of historical models to contract drawings. Written documentation, including cost estimates, a contract, daily accounts of construction, entrepreneur's accounts, and correspondence with the principal contractor, is particularly revealing of the working procedures on a large commercial project. In 1855 Charles and Auguste Joseph Pellechet constructed the Chambre des Notaires on the newly transformed Place du Chatelet - the intended centre point of Haussmann's 'Nouveau Paris' (1). The CCA album contains primarily transfer lithographed working and contract drawings signed by the entrepreneurs and/or contractors (DR1974:0002:022:001-021). The plans reflect Charles' sensitive integration of iron and masonry construction, which allowed for abundant fenestration on the side facades, while maintaining the traditional aspects of character and solidity required in a prominent urban building. Charles' approach to the design of more utilitarian structures is indicated in his album of competition drawings for a municipal slaughterhouse submitted to the city of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 1846-1847 (DR1974:0002:023:001-012). His interpretation of the written programme (included in the album) and the resulting design, is strongly influenced by his father's previous slaughterhouse projects, as well as his own for La Villete, 1835-1836 (see DR1974:0002:014:001-104 in Hubert Rohault de Fleury's Public and Urban Architecture (file CI001.S3.D1)). The pared down Neoclassical style of the slaughterhouse is typical of both Charles and Hubert's utilitarian structures. Charles' largest public urban project outside of Paris was for an unexecuted Hôtel de Prefecture (Departement de la Vienne) and Hôtel de Ville for the city of Poitiers, 1859-1860 (DR1974:0002:020:001-050). The project for the Louis XIIIth style Hotel de Prefecture is fairly complete and includes many working drawings, while the Francis Ist style Hotel de Ville is much less developed and consists primarily of unbound sketches and finished drawings. A site plan indicates that Charles intended the Hôtel de Prefecture and Hôtel de Ville to be located nearly opposite each other and connected by a major thoroughfare. The placement of both structures in the western quarter of the city probably reflects an earlier urban renewal plan proposed by the architects Morandiere et Compaing in 1849. The Hôtel de Prefecture (1864-1868) and Hotel de Ville (1869-1876) were eventually built after designs by Antoine Guerinot, in the same style, and on sites close to those proposed by Charles. Drawings and engravings of antique and contemporary theatres, fountains, honorific monuments, and large public projects by other architects are collected in album DR1974:0002:010:001-048 for reference purposes (some of these may have been collected by his father Hubert).
