AP075.S1.1994.PR02
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project of a playground for the Talmud Torah School on West 26th Avenue, in Vancouver, in British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in 1994. The playground included a garden with apple trees at the north side of the site, a central play area with sand pits and play installation, small canal with a wooden bridge and two grass mounds with trees. The project series contains sketches, design development drawings, including a proposed landscape plan, landscape plans, landscape details, and site plans. The project is also documented through photographs of the playground once completed, specifications, plant lists, correspondence, including correspondence with client, meeting notes and site reports, financial documents and press clippings on the project.

New Westminster Pier
AP144.S2.D106
Description:
File documents a competition entry for a new pier on the Thames in the City of Westminster, London, England. The Westminster pier project consisted of a restaurant with deck and observation tower, a fixed pier or public walkway, a catwalk, various ramps, and a pontoon. Existing conditions drawings and photographs include: a hydrographic plan, site plan, and section of the pier and pier edge; an enlarged contact sheet of photographs of the site and surrounding area; and a photocopy of a photograph of a typical pier boat, possibly used for reference purposes. Conceptual sketches include numerous thumbnail and annotated diagrammatic sketches which explore the functional relationships of the areas encompassed by the project. Design development drawings show sections through river embankments, restaurant and tower structures, walkways, ramps, and catwalks, at high and low tide and at night and during the day. Axonometric drawings show the principal structures, circulation paths, and access and control points. A group of drawings are probably a competition entry set marked by a hole punched in the upper right hand corner. Presentation panels are composed of reproductions of photographs of the existing site with overdrawing and montage which shows Price's project in relationship to the river. Two presentation panels which show the walkway/ramp, pontoon, and restaurant in partial elevation have been coloured with airbrush. Duplicate reprographic copies were made from the original design development drawings, and some are annotated with notes. File also contains clippings about "sub-marine engineering" which are possibly related to this project. Material in this file was produced in 1979. File contains conceptual drawings, presentation drawings, reference drawings, presentation panels, and textual records.

Projet
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:
This project series documents the design and construction of three residual water treatment plants in Madrid, Spain from 1986 to 1988. Each plant was built in a different municipality of the city: the first plant, referred to as El Endrinal, was built in Collado-Villalba; the second plant in Majadahonda; and the third, referred to as El Chaparral, in Guadarrama. These plants are key elements in the passage between sewage and the river. They were executed for the water management company Canal de Isabel II Gestión, responsible for the water cycle for the Community of Madrid. The firm identified this project as number 40. Documenting the project are design development and working drawings, textual records, and photographic materials. The Majadahonda and Guadarrama plants were built at the same time.
