AP027.S1.D14
Description:
This project series documents a master plan for the proposed development of 6000 acres of land in the northern half of Mississauga a suburb of Toronto, Ontario. The aim was for the new development was to absorb some of the population from the metropolitan area and form part of an urban belt extending from Oshawa to Stoney Creek. The design integrates residential, commercial, and industrial zones for a population of more than 100,000 people. The project series includes background studies and designs for housing units, shopping centre, research centre, and the industrial area.

Snake
AP144.S2.D129
Description:
Project series documents a project for a gigantic movable outdoor museum in the middle of a long-steppe landscape at the foot of a huge mountain ridge in Australia. The museum was designed specifically to display an enormous 120-piece painting by Sydney Nolan entitled Snake. This file includes some preliminary drawings exploring the introduction of Snake into the urban setting of the Pertpavs project (project series AP144.S2.D124 in this fonds), and possibly also the mingling of elements of both projects. Material in this file was produced in 1984. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, and textual records.

Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for an architectural and landscape intervention at the eco park, located near the Rioja recycling plant for urban waste in Logroño, La Rioja, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 149. Abalos & Herreros won the competition and began the project with their masterplan. However, the construction was completed by Abalos+Sentkiewicz Arquitectos after the dissolution of Abalos & Herreros in 2008. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development and working drawings, project descriptions, budgets, notes, specifications and cartographic materials.

Description:
This series documents Blanche Lemco van Ginkel’s involvement, attendance, and participation in various conferences, lectures, and jury functions. The series is subdivided in three subseries illustrating conferences and lectures, and the various jury panels she was invited in. An additional subseries was created for the International Urban Design Conference considering the relatively important amount of material found in this series. The series contains correspondence, clippings, programmes and scheduled activities, information packages, papers, publications, notes, minutes, agendas, reports, and a press kit, dating from 1977 to 1990.

AP143.S4.D32
Description:
File documents the partially executed project for the Restricted International Competition "South Friedrichstadt as a Place to Live and Work," West Berlin (now Berlin), West Germany (now in Germany). Material in this file was produced between 1980 and 1988. File documents the design for one of four urban blocks in the area of the Kochstrasse and Friedrichstrasse, Berlin. The competition required the preservation of three existing structures and the construction of mixed-used buildings on vacant lots. The architect develops an overall strategy to occupy the urban block by extending the geometry of the three existing buildings onto the site (DR1991:0018:002; DR1991:0018:004-006), on which he overlays what he calls the "Mercator grid", an orthogonal grid oriented according to the compass (DR1991:0018:016). The "el structures" used by Eisenman in House X, House 11a, and the Cannaregio project reappear in plan, and later as forms emerging from the square compartments delimited by the "Mercator grid", this time developed three-dimensionally (House X, 1975-1977, DR1994:0138:001-1546; House 11a, 1978, DR1994:0139:001-303; Cannaregio project, 1978, DR1991:0017:001-094). After finalizing the urban concept, Eisenman concentrates his efforts on the planning of individual buildings, developing the massing of the building facing Kochstrasse in a series of axonometrics (DR1991:0018:088-092), sections (DR1991:0018:088) and facade studies (DR1991:0018:204-210). A series of scrolled drawings study the L-shaped elements and thin slabs with characteristically gridded surfaces found in House X (DR1991:0018:204 and DR1991:0018:209-210). File contains record drawings, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, schematic drawings, competition drawings, presentation drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

Antas, Porto
CD034.S1.1974.PR03
Description:
This project series contains reproductions of drawings and photographs displayed in the exhibit to document the Antas neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the SAAL Brigade intervened at the heart of an urban area which then became subject to redevelopments after the construction of the first units. The original proposal and the completed phases contrast the scale of later operations and change the perception of the original project. Nonetheless, the architectural design addressed a difficult terrain, and maintained the specificities of the urban 'ilhas' (islands) by incorporating a vernacular character, which the residents appropriated and transformed even further overtime. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) The project architect Pedro Ramalho worked for SAAL/North with Aires Pereira, Augusto Costa, Francisco M. Lima, José Lencastre, Lídia Costa, Pedro B. Araújo, Teresa Fonseca, Vítor Bastos and the residents' association Antas, that was founded on Septermber 1st, 1975. The first phase of the project included 32 dwellings and the second, 50 dwellings. The operation began in October 1974, with a construction date in October 1975. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, implementation plans, axonometric views and photographic material. The original drawings and photographs were produced in 1975 and 1976 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.
