À bas les parcs?
Les parcs sont-ils néfastes ? Ces bouts de terrain et maigres plans d’eau que nous séquestrons répondent à un besoin confus de « nature ». Ils contribuent sans doute à notre bonne santé, mais ne servent-ils pas aussi à excuser nos mauvaises habitudes? Les parcs ne sont pas anodins. Dans les villes, les parcs sont des actifs immobiliers et des « commodités » urbaines(...)

Projet
AP143.S4.D106
Description:
In 1993, the CCA invited Peter Eisenman to design an installation for the exhibition 'Cities of Artificial Excavation: The Work of Peter Eisenman, 1978-1988'. The exhibition was presented at the CCA from 2 March to 29 May 1994. The drawings and models of this group document the development of Eisenman's installation design from late 1993 through March 1994, as well as the various processes used by the architect in his investigation of the 'Cities of Artificial Excavation'. Material in this file was produced between 1993 and 1994. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, installation drawings, measured drawings, presentation drawings, publication drawings, record drawings, textual records, and models. Documents by Eisenman's office include material for schemes A and B, the first and second proposals for the installation, as well as material for the exhibition installation. Material for scheme A includes conceptual drawings (DR1994:0030:001-005), hardline design development drawings (DR1994:0030:006-011), design development computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:012-027), and fully developed drawings (DR1994:0030:028-034). Material for scheme B, a design which is closer to the final project, includes hardline drawings (DR1994:0030:035-044) and computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:045-069). Material for the exhibition installation includes: computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:070-196), which were generated to construct models for the installation, notably a preliminary model (DR1994:0035) and the final model (DR1994:0036), which was used for planning the exhibition layout; hardline drawings which are the final drawings for the installation (DR1994:0030:262-265); a preliminary exhibition layout (DR1994:0030:280); and Iris colour prints of computer-aided conceptual axonometrics (DR1994:0030:281-282). Three working models show different stages of the design development (DR1994:0031 - DR1994:0034). File contains photographs of the completed installation by Richard Pare (DR1994:0037:001-028), fragments of the installation preserved after its demolition (DR1994:0038:001-0028) and paint samples (DR1994:0038:035-037). File contains Cities of Artificial Excavation exhibition Catalogue Cover Design layouts and trial proofs. This group of material by Eisenman's office includes freehand drawings and collages for early proposals for the cover (DR1994:0029:001-003), ink drawings on Mylar of the floor plans of the four principal projects presented in the exhibition traced from diazotypes (diazotypes: DR1994:0029:014-019; ink drawings: DR1994:0029:004-010), and Iris colour prints of computer-aided drawings which Eisenman's staff used to test different colour schemes (DR1994:0029:020-030). Offset prints for the cover proposing different colour schemes were used to select the cover design used for publication (DR1994:0029:036-039).

McAppy
AP144.S2.D89
Description:
File documents a design programme undertaken for construction company, Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd., in London, England. The aim was to increase the efficiency of production and improve labour relations by producing enclosures, equipment, material, and information systems that would improve safety, on-site communication, and job satisfaction. Cedric Price's office produced 2 report volumes, a Portable Enclosures Programme (PEP) and used at least one construction site, at Angel Court, as a test site for the proposals. Diagrams and flow charts show preliminary planning and programming design decisions and show the relationship between present and future factors. A flow chart illustrates the scope of the program. Charts and diagrams map the relative time scale of parts of the programme over various development phases. An axonometric and cutaway drawing show the interior construction of a pedestrian walkway. Data showing both the projected and real results of a site test application of McAppy planning and equipment from 1974 to 1975 was collected and presented as a broadside. A large number of original drawings are included within the textual records. Material in this file was produced between 1955 and 1987. Zisman, Bowyer & Partners provided consultation services. File contains design development drawings, model, photographic materials, presentation drawings, and textual records.

AP056.S1.1989.PR07
Description:
This project series documents the interiors of the Creeds store in Toronto from 1989-1990. The office identified the project number as 8926. This project consisted of renovations to the interiors of the high-end retail store located in Toronto's Manulife Centre at the corner of Bloor and Bay Streets. The store, with entrances from the mall and street, included several smaller boutiques divided by designer, a large fur storage area and work room, a fur salon, a stock room and changing rooms. A major part of this renovation was the creation of a multifunctional court space connected to the rest of the linear boutiquerie via two small staircases. This court could be used for fashion shows, presentations, season displays, and social events. The court had a circular ceiling light fixture, stone-clad piers, stained cherry wood panels and sandblasted steel details. The floors, patterned with black slate and granite, were complimentary to the boutique's concrete and black and silver glass tile floors. Also central to this project was the creation of the Christian Dior boutique at the street entrance. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1989-1990. The drawings, mostly originals, consist of sketches, axonometric drawings, sections, plans, elevations, details and schedules. The photographs show the completed store interiors.
