AP056.S1.1991.PR05
Description:
This project series documents Phase 2B of work completed for Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island from 1991-1994. The office identified the project number as 9105. This project consisted of interior work for part of the company's headquarters and was the third in a series of projects that the firm would complete for the headquarters. The 300,000 square foot building was predominantly one-storey and located on the block between Saratoga, Grand, London and Newport Avenues. The three projects were known as Main Street, Phase 2A and Phase 2B. Phase 1 was completed in 1986 by Barton Myers Associates with Shirley Blumberg as partner-in-charge. These subsequent projects by KPMB were also headed by Shirley Blumberg and continued the initial style she had established in Phase 1. These projects saw the conversion of a historic brick and masonry mill into the company's new offices. The office structure was inspired by the layout of a Greek town, with a main street running through it. This phase continued the work of Phase 2A and focused mainly on the design of the visitor's entrance. The entrance area was V-shaped, with the wide end at the entrance doors and the narrower end leading guests deeper into the building. Once past this area, the hallway opened like a bubble, wrapping around a large elliptical courtyard in the middle. This courtyard, comprised of glass windows with trees and other landscaping in it, was the most prominent feature of this phase. Materials used throughout the offices included polished concrete, maple, aluminum and perforated metal. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1989 to around 1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, details, and some construction drawings. Many of the drawings focus on the entrance and courtyard. The textual records consist of the project program and schedule.

AP164.S1.2000.D9
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry and infrastructure development of the northeast coast park (Parque litoral nord-est, Barcelona Forum 2004, Sant Adrià de Besòs) and adjoining recycling plant (Edificio de oficinas y planta integral de RSU) in Santa Adriá de Besòs, Barcelona, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 133. The competition was organized by the Barcelona City Council and was part of a larger plan to develop new infrastructure for Barcelona, as the Host City for the International Forum of Cultures held in 2004. A number of architects and firms were involved in other projects related to the infrastructure plan, like the South East Coastal Park & Auditoriums by the Foreign Office Architects (See AP171.S1.2000.D6). The park included several other features, like the design of urban furniture (Pep and Xurret benches, and a fence), an artificial mountain, a youth hostel, a small security building and a pier. Only the park, the artificial mountain and the benches were built. The firm arranged work for this project with the following numbers: 133-1, 133-2, 133-6 to 133-8, and 133-10. The CCA did not receive materials classified under numbers 133-9 and 133-11. The recycling plant includes, among other things, office space, an ecomuseum, and a garden. Abalos and Herreros won the competition for design, construction and exploitation of the plant. The firm worked in collaboration with the firm Tersa, S.A. The firm assigned numbers 133-3 to 133-5 to identify this work. Documenting the project are design development and working drawings, correspondence, invoices, minutes, project descriptions, studies, budgets, contracts, reference, photographic and digital materials, and a videocassette.

Description:
The Architectural Projects series, 1984-2003, records 125 architectural projects from Canada, the United States, Germany and Switzerland. These projects include university buildings and campuses, public spaces, civic buildings, offices, interior and industrial design, residences, museums, theatres and concert halls, a winery, and retail stores. The projects include built work, proposals and competition entries. Projects were identified and separated based on distinct project numbers assigned by the creating office, along with the project dates and titles when further clarification was necessary. The project numbering scheme used by the office was not consistent, but most of the numbers are four digits and begin with last two digits of the project start year. These projects are recorded primarily through drawings, but some photographs, paintings, textual records, periodicals, and models are also included in this series. The majority of drawings for each project are originals and a large part of reprographic copies have annotations. The drawings for each project typically consist of surveys, sketches, plans, sections, elevations, axonometric drawings, details, perspectives, and drawings issued for construction. Some of the drawings are mounted for presentation purposes. A large number of furnishing drawings are also included for interior design projects. Photographs in this series show finished work completed by the firm, the project models, and reproductions of drawings and paintings. The paintings in this series are mostly watercolours used for presentation. The textual records are very sparse in this series and consist of rough notes used to supplement drawings. The periodicals are magazines that highlight the completed projects. The amount of materials for each project vary greatly, with built projects having the most complete records and project proposals having the least.

Domestic Commissions
CI001.S2.D2
Description:
Hubert and Charles Rohault de Fleury received domestic commissions for both urban housing -hôtel particuliers and apartment houses- and rural dwellings -châteaux, country houses and estates. Hubert also executed designs for furniture and garden pavilions. Hubert' work is characterized by restrained classical exteriors and luxurious Empire style interiors; both Charles' exteriors and interiors, especially those for Hôtels Sauvage and Soltykoff, reflect the exuberance of the Second Empire. The CCA albums include drawings from all stages of the design process but with an emphasis on design development drawings. Hubert's albums contain cost calculations and estimates, notes and letters. In general, the drawings by Charles are from a more developed phase of design than Hubert's; Hubert's commissions are more varied than Charles'. Charles' Hôtel Soltykoff (1854)(DR1974:0002:003:001-105) is exemplary of the Second Empire not only in its architectural language, programme and interior decoration, but also its use of mixed stone and iron construction. The album for Hôtel Soltykoff is one of the most comprehensive in the CCA collection. The drawings incorporate several phases of the design process from conceptual ideas to post-construction revisions. Numerous drawings for the structure and exterior ornamentation are included as well as drawings for the embellishment of the interior spaces. The interior drawings are especially interesting for evidence they provide of the palette of colours and ornamental motifs utilized in the Second Empire. Several prints (plates XIX - XXIII) in 'Oeuvre de C. Rohault de Fleury, architecte', which include general plans and elevations (few of which are included in the Hôtel Solytkoff album), are a useful complement to more specific drawings in the album. The Hôtel Sauvage (ca. 1862) album (DR1974:0002:006:001-024) - a set of 24 contract drawings- consists exclusively general plans, sections and elevations. This group of drawings give a good overall sense of both the interior and exterior. Hôtel Sauvage, like Hôtel Soltykoff is also typical of the Second Empire in style and programme. Château de Marcoussis (ca. 1861), for which a group of drawings were acquired in 1986, diverges somewhat in character from the other examples of Charles' domestic works represented in the CCA collection (DR1986:0379 - DR1986:0413). While most of the other houses are strictly classical in planning and design, for Château de Marcoussis, Charles adopted a more romantic asymmetrical château style design. The domestic commissions (1838-1856) in album, DR1974:0002:002:001-094, roughly fall into two categories. The first category consists of single residences - both town and country. The regimentation of plans and façades in the hôtel particular and country houses manifests the continued influence of Durand, yet Charles was also clearly affected by the Second Empire propensity for elaborate façade treatments with decoratively-shaped windows, complex mouldings and extensive rustication. The second category consists of urban apartment building with stores or occasionally offices on the ground floor, apartments, generally two per floor, above and often servants' rooms in the attic. These buildings are articulated in a restrained manner with mouldings, decorative ironwork and some stone ornament.

Cottage High Legh
AP144.S2.D29
Description:
File documents an executed project for a gamekeeper's cottage next to a pheasantry in High Legh, Cheshire, England, to replace an existing dilapidated lodge. An early alternative proposal shows a scheme for renovating the existing building. Inexpensive materials and simple construction methods were specified in order to cut costs; local builders could be engaged to construct the cottage ('Architectural Design', January 1971, p. 35). Price also designed an addition for Cottage, High Legh (1977) which was not constructed (AP144.S2.D104). Preliminary plans and sketches include details for windows, a custom built-in cabinet, wall sections, and perspectives. Design development drawings include developed details including ones for a custom-designed fireplace, site axonometric, axonometric of cottage exterior, interior perspective of dining room, and exterior perspective showing front entrance. Working drawings are almost complete, and include survey notes and drawings of the existing lodge; site and floor plans, sections, and elevations; details for a fireplace, cloakroom and metalwork; a schedule for windows, doors, and the interior finishes; an axonometric for the roof; and a landscaping plan. The project was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 35, and in Price, Cedric. 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 51, 113. Material in this file was produced between 1961 - 1983, and predominantly between 1961 - 1965.

Projet
AP018.S1.1974.PR11
Description:
This project series documents planning and construction for Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica from 1974-1977. The office identified the project number as 7413. This project consisted of renovations to the existing terminal 1 building, the addition of a terminal 2 and the addition of a small charter terminal. This work was undertaken in joint venture with other Canadian firms who worked together on airport planning projects around the world. The firms for this project consisted of Parkin Architects Planners as the architects, the Montreal Engineering Company Limited, Peat, Marwick and Partners, Ffolkes, Harrison & Partners Ltd., Rutkowski, Bradford & Partners, and IBI Group. The new terminal was a roughly rectangular building with paving and landscaping extending towards the parking lot. A long, narrow hallway moving diagonally from the main building was used for planing and deplaning. It was predicted that terminal 2 would need to be expanded in 1990 to deal with increased international traffic. This project was originally proposed in a report to plan developments for Jamaican airports from 1970-1990. It originally proposed airports in Kingston and Montego Bay, but only this Montego Bay project was realized. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1970-1977. The drawings include plans, sections, elevations, details, schedules, perspectives and development and phasing drawings. The textual records consist of correspondence, project reports and studies, the original 30 year development plan, drawing lists, schedules, specifications, contractor records, progress reports, meeting minutes, interoffice letters, daily diaries and tender documents.

Steel House
AP144.S2.D60
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry, in collaboration with Miles Park, Douglas Smith and Frank Newby, for a mass-produced housing system using steel, for a competition sponsored by the European Coal and Steel Community. Requirements called for rapid assembly/disassembly, and flexible unit plans that could be altered by home owners and appeal to a wide range of owners and their preferences. Schematic sketches include exterior elevations, floor plans, preliminary details, and charts for building components. Conceptual sketches show alternate unit and floor plan arrangements, and include network analysis plans, site maximization plans based on transportability, family breakdown diagrams, alternate internal unit layout plans based on age and other factors, functional area plans indicating separation possibilities, and charts which cross-reference factors such as transportability, construction, and assembly requirements. Design development drawings show typical plans, site plans, sections, elevations, details, axonometric drawings of structure and cladding, internal units, and components. Some material in this file was published in Price, Cedric, "Steel Housing", 'Architectural Design', vol. 37, (May 1967) 244, and Price, Cedric, 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984) 36, 49-50, 113. Material in this file was produced between 1965 and 1969. 'High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community' is the full name of the client as found in the textual records. The title of the competition is 'International Competition for the Design of Industrially Fabricated Dwellings'. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, photographic material, presentation panels, textual records, and model.
