DR1974:0002:002:001-094
Description:
- This album consists mainly of elevations, sections and plans for a number of domestic commissions by Charles Rohault de Fleury: a house in Cologne, a hothouse for M. Faquet-Lemaitre, two [?] apartment houses and three private houses in Paris, a house for Mme de Lescure, Royan, and the Administration générale des omnibus office building, Paris. Both the drawings for the house in Cologne and the three variant projects for a hothouse are probably presentation drawings. There are contract drawings, probably the architect's copies, for apartment houses for M. Piet and M. Le Comte, and houses for M. Moreau Chaslon, Mme la comtesse de Lubersac, Mme de Lescure and M. Waresquiel. A sheet of cost calculations attached to a preliminary site plan, are probably for M. Waresquiel's house. The first plan for Mme la comtesse de Lubersac's house (DR1974:0002:002:084), and the plans for M. Waresquiel's house are annotated with the functions of the rooms. The architect's copies of the drawings for the country house in Royan, given to the client by the architect, include drawings of the foundations and framework, larger scale elevational and sectional details of the architectural elements, profiles and joinery details. The function within the design process of the prints for the commercial building for the Administration Générale de Omnibus is unclear. The principal elevation (DR1974:0002:002:020) is rendered in watercolour, suggesting it may be a presentation print. The other prints for this building exhibit the same degree of finish as the contract drawings in this album, but the absence of the client's and contractor's signatures and the revision attached to DR1974:0002:002:022 suggests they may be part of the design development stage of the project. Also included in the album is a sheet of preliminary sketches for a tomb for Daguerre (not the photographer) and two small unbound sheets of sketches for unidentified projects (DR1974:0002:002:048 and DR1974:0002:002:028).

Description:
- This group of correspondence, clippings and a copy of a resolution was compiled by the architect, Lloyd Wright, for his own record while he was persuing the commission for the Los Angeles Municipal Airport, Mines Field, California. While Wright received the approval of the Municipal Art Commission, his design was ultimately rejected by the Airport Committee in favour of a Spanish Colonial design. The correspondence is composed of carbon copies and mimeographs of a letter sent to the Municipal Art Commission requesting that the commission consider his design. There are several copies of this letter, probably because it was sent to individual committee members and a copy was made of each letter. Of the newspaper clippings, three relate to the Mines Field project; the most significant is a half-page spread with photographs of both Lloyd Wright's project and the successful Spanish Colonial design. Also on the same page are photographs of four of people involved in the commission, including Lloyd Wright, a councilman, a member of the art commission, and the airport manager. The two other Mines Field clippings announce the completion of an aircraft factory at Mines Field and the completion of the municipal airport within thirty days. The unrelated clipping announces a model airport to be built in Chicago. Also included with these documents are a copy of the resolution made by the Municipal Art Commission recommending Wright's design to the Airport Committee and an envelope addressed to Clifford Henderson, Director of Municipal Airports, City of Los Angeles.

Projet
AP056.S1.1988.PR11
Description:
This project series documents the design of a housing complex known as Dovestar in Toronto from1988-1991. The office identified the project number as 8815. This project consisted of a proposed housing complex on the corner of St. Joseph and St. Nicholas Streets, comprised of three components - the Dovestar condominiums, the CityHome building and a Co-op building. Maintaining the historic building facades along St. Joseph Street, the 19-storey Dovestar condominiums would bridge over St. Nicholas Street to connect to the CityHome building as one congruent structure. Across the street from Dovestar, the CityHome building was defined as the first five storeys of the property, also with historic facades at the lower levels, and the remaining storeys were part of the Dovestar condominium. The Co-op building was entirely separate, set apart from the others by a common outdoor garden space. Dovestar was to be a 312 unit condominium complex, approximately 32,000 square metres in size, with retail spaces and two-storey townhouse units on the ground floor. The CityHome building would be 35 units, approximately 3,500 square metres in size, with retail, restaurant spaces, and two-storey townhouse units on the ground floor. Finally, the Co-op building was to be 24 units and approximately 1,971 square metres in size. All three buildings shared 247 parking spaces and recreational areas totalling 2,934 square metres. This project was never built. The project is recorded through drawings and a project model dating from 1988-1991. The drawings are mostly originals and include site plans and surveys, sketches, elevations, plans, sections, and isometrics.

Inter-Action Centre
AP144.S2.D82
Description:
File documents Inter-Action Centre, a completed project for a community centre commissioned by Ed Berman and the Inter-Action Trust, for a disused site at Talacre Public Open Space in Kentish Town, Camden, London. The construction was divided into two phases. Foundations, steel frame and trusses were constructed first and could be used for open-air community events while funds were being raised for the second phase. Phase II included cladding, fittings, finishes, services prefabricated units, and log cabins. The building was intended as a flexible short life-span building in which the interior spaces would be independent of the roof and exterior walls. Functional areas suggested by Cedric Price include: assembly halls, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, studios, areas for performance, media resources, lounging and dining, and a gym and a nursery. Cedric Price had been engaged by the concepts of flexible architecture, indeterminacy, impermanence, and the fusion of information technology, entertainment, and educational activities in earlier unrealized projects such as Fun Palace (AP144.S2.D46) and Oxford Corner House (AP144.S2.D59). Existing conditions drawings include photographs of the site; reprographic copies of electrical and drainage systems; ordinance surveys of Kentish Town; and landscape and playground layout. Conceptual drawings include sketches of overall massing; diagrammatic plans; drawings and diagrams of site conditions; notes for the structural framework; rendered interior elevations; plans showing impact of site context on building design; diagrammatic sketches of relationship between functional requirements and structural form. Schematic drawings include diagrammatic plans; sections of structural system and exterior wall; cladding details; and axonometric views of supports. Design development drawings and working drawings include plans, elevations, sections, details and axonometric views. Presentation drawings include watercolours and other renderings; reprographic copies, possibly for publication; and perspectives drawings. Some material from this file was published in "Inter-action Centre." 'RIBA Journal'. (November 1977), 458-465; "Intervista A Cedric Price: London Interaction Centre." 'Domus'. (April 1978), 17-21; "Kentish Town West Amalgam, London." 'Architectural Record'. (January 1973), 19; Lyall, Sutherland. 'The State of British Architecture'.

The Ulrich Königs Chemnitz Stadium project records, 1995-1996, document the competition entry and design for an innovative stadium in Chemnitz, Germany. The project was a collaboration between Peter Kulka, Ulrich Königs, Cecil Balmond, and Arup Group, Ltd. The design was primarily driven by the theoretical and methodological processes made possible by computer-aided design, rather than aesthetics. The project records have both digital and physical components, which chiefly include renderings, wireframe drawings, digital 3D models, photographs, slides, video, and a booklet.

Projet
AP018.S1.1972.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the second stage of the expansion of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto from 1972-1977. The office identified the project number as 7208. This project consisted of the expansion of the AGO that began in 1972. It was Stage II of the expansion program, which began in 1969 with Stage I. Most prominent in this project was the extension of the gallery’s west side to reach Beverley Street. This wing housed the new Education and Extension (E&E) branch galleries and educational facilities, and a two-storey reference library. The library included a 10,000 square foot reading room and an audiovisual library. This stage also proposed an extension to the south of the main gallery, directly east of the Grange mansion, that would connect the AGO to the neighbouring Ontario College of Art. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, and textual records dating from 1971-1983. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of detail drawings arranged with the textual records, although original drawings of details are also present within the textual records. Large drawings housed separately show both the design development and construction of the project. There are also presentation boards showing floor plan schemes. The textual records include contractor and client correspondence, meeting reports, specifications, project notebooks, tender documents, contract data, consultancy records, site reports, certificates of payment and other financial documentation, change orders, supplementary instructions, deficiency lists, detail planning records, and studies. Box AP018.S1.1972.PR08.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
