Description:
- This drawing includes a large plan which Lloyd Wright used to work out the disposition of buildings for Los Angeles Municipal Airport. The plan is possibly one of a series of preparatory drawings for a perspective view; it has the same blue pencil grid as the preparatory drawing (DR1987:0369). The smaller sketches beside the plan are unidentified.

AP018.S1.1980.PR15
Description:
This project series documents additions and alterations to the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, New Brunswick from 1981-1986. The office identified this project as 8018. The Beaverbrook Art Gallery, located beside the St. John River, was designed by Neil Stewart in 1956. The additions and alterations to the original design consisted of the addition of an east wing to the existing structure as well as upgrades to mechanical and electrical systems. A feasibility study was conducted and two schemes were proposed for the project. The project is recorded through textual records, drawings, and site and construction photographs. The feasibility study is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings. The textual records show client correspondence, site planning, contractor and consultant work, construction and associated shop drawings. Textual documents also record a lawsuit brought against the firm by project consultants ADI Limited following construction.

Description:
Drawings relating to Parizeau's architectural career in Montreal are represented in a number of independant projects, including a small chapel beside the St. Lawrence River, a pair of two-storey cabin-cottages outside of Montreal, and several residences in the city. The documents are mostly original preliminary studies with some reproductions of working drawings. It should be noted that there are also photographs of exterior details of the Laroque Residence and the Jarry Residence in documents CO2 in Series II. Reproductions of designs for worker housing by French architect Eugène Beaudoin in 1938 perhaps give a clue to Parizeau's relatively early employment of modernist forms. A residence in Baie D'Urfé is unlikely to be connected to Parizeau because its date, ca. 1955, is a decade after his death. Parizeau's concern with furniture and interior design is represented in the Archive with many lively perspective sketches in colour, and elevation and plan studies of several kinds of rooms and types of furniture. Some preliminary drawings for interiors were grouped with the Gillow house in Ville Mont-Royal, and the Walter Downs Residence in Montreal.

Description:
The sculpture depicts what seems to be a man standing, dressed in Indigenous clothing with regalia and tomahawk, and a woman seated on his right side and an animal (dog?) standing on his left. This way of representing an Indigenous couple reflects 19th century settler notions of gender roles. In Indigenous families the woman is the head of the house and would be the one standing, with the man beside her as her equal. The Saint Paul Ice Carnival, founded in 1886, is now known as the Saint Paul Winter Carnival.

The monument is set in a semi-circular niche and follows the type of papal tomb established by Bernini, with a sculpture of the standing pope raised on a pedestal above a doorway and allegorical sculptures to either side. The two flaps show variant designs for the lower portion of the monument. On flap 1 the putti are placed beside the the virtue on the left. On flap 2 the drapery above the doorway is more pronounced and the virtue on the right is almost nude. The virtues are seated rather than standing.

AP075.S1.1991.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly Building, situated beside Frame Lake, in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Oberlander worked on this project in 1991 with architectural firms Matsuzaki Wright Architects and Pin/Matthews. The team was selected for the project after a design competition. Architects chose to have the new assembly build on the edge of the lake, on the volcanic rock of the Canadian Shield. They used the bog of the site as a transitional space between the building and the city. Oberlander concept design was to integrate the building to the landscape with the least intervention, because of the fagile ecology of the area, and preserve the natural beauty of the landscape. In this idea, the planting for the project only comprises native plants and grasses and very few alteration were made to the existing condition of the site. The project was completed in 1994. The project series contains design development drawings, including planting plans, landscape plans, grading plans, site details, site plans, working drawings, including site plans, planting plans and grading plans, and building drawings used as reference. The project is also documented through textual records, such as correspondence, specifications, concept notes by Oberlander, financial documents, meeting notes, reports, research material and site informations, and also photographs of the construction and the completed work. The project series comprises also digital files of the Legislative Assembly development plans and facility program and digital photographs of the building.
