Description:
Sub-series documents James Stirling's student work, probably from his third to fifth year at the Liverpool School of Architecture in Liverpool, England, from 1947 to 1950, and during his studies at the Association for Planning and Regional Reconstruction in London, England, from 1950 to 1952. A project for a Community Centre for a Small Town in the Middle West was probably produced during a student exchange in New York City, New York in the fall of 1948. Sub-series include projects for a Forest Rangers Lookout Station, a House for an Architect, Organic Chemistry Laboratories, Stirling's thesis project for a Town Centre and Community Centre and a student competition entry for the Merseyside Film Institute. Material in this sub-series was probably produced between 1947 and 1975. The publication drawings for James Stirling's projects were often drawn by Leon Krier, Russell Bevington, or Ulrich Schaad ('British Architecture Today', 1991). Sub-series contains several presentation drawings and panels, publication drawings, a small number of working drawings, photographic materials, a presentation model and Stirling's 1950 bound thesis 'Plan of Town Centre and Development of Community Centre for Newton Aycliffe, Co. Durham'.

Fonds Álvaro Siza
AP178
Description:
The Álvaro Siza fonds documents the architectural work of Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza. Records in this fonds document Siza’s projects from 1958-2012, including built and unbuilt designs. A collaborative project was established between the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), Fundação de Serralves, and Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian to allow for international research and access to the archive. The archive is shared by the three institutions with each institution holding different projects while collaborating on the descriptive work and increasing the visibility of the archive. The holdings at both the Fundação de Serralves and Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian focus on Siza’s Portuguese projects, while the portion of the archive held by the CCA mainly includes Siza’s projects abroad. All three institutions are committed to describing the archive and making it accessible for scholarly research. The processing of the Siza archive held by the CCA has been divided into four phases to allow for access to parts of the archive while still in process. For the first, second, and third phases, the processing archivist has described the projects from the fifties, sixties, and seventies, as well as projects for the IBA competition in Berlin, urban renewal projects in The Hague from the eighties, urban plans, museums, and individual houses between 1980 and 2000. The processing archivist has also described approximately 203 sketchbooks. Many of these sketchbooks include sketches related to architectural projects which were processed. The complete list of projects processed by the CCA to date can be found in series AP178.S1. The bulk of the Álvaro Siza fonds is arranged in Series AP178.S1, which contains documentation for over 200 of Siza’s architectural projects. Records in this archive are predominantly from 1970 to 2000. Series AP178.S1 mainly contains conceptual, design development, presentation, and working drawings. Also included are photographic materials, models, born digital records, and textual documentation, which include correspondence, project proposals, and notes. The architect’s creative process is captured in 282 sketchbooks arranged in Series AP178.S2. In all there are approximately 60 000 drawings, 3000 folders of textual documentation, 9.46 linear meters of photographs and negatives, 6,545 slides, 250 CD-ROMS, 101 floppy disks, and 371 models that document the architectural activities of Siza and his office. Among the drawings are sketches by Siza on various items, such as napkins, receipts, envelopes, or on the back of working drawings. The fonds contains several types of architectural projects including residential buildings, museums, universities, urban plans, offices, and city restorations. Of particular significance are the sketchbooks, comprised of sketches for architectural projects, Siza’s travels, people, and animals as well as notes and draft letters. The sketchbooks are organized in chronological order, starting in the late 1970’s to the beginning of the 2000’s. Locations, notes, and dates have also been identified on the front of each sketchbook along with the sketchbook number. The sketchbooks provide a unique perspective of Siza’s use of drawing as part of his work process.

AP112.S1
Description:
The series contains seven bands of negatives, divided into groups of two and three negatives a band. The first five bands document the 4th Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) held on board the SS Patris II from 29 July to 13 August 1933, as it travelled between Marseilles, France, and Athens, Greece, and then returned. The conference, themed "The Functional City", presented and discussed the results of an analysis of more than thirty cities, and sought to establish new principles in urban planning. Sise participated at the conference as the Canadian delegate and presented the city of Los Angeles, California. The resolutions adopted at the conference were published for the first time in November under the title "Constatations du quatrième CIAM". These findings formed the base of the Charte d'Athenès written by Le Corbusier in 1941. The negatives show some of the participants of the conference including: Le Corbusier (1887-1965), from the French delegation; László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), from the German delegation, who was in charge of filming the presentations; Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), representing Finland; and the painter Fernand Léger (1881-1955), also from the French delegatation, who presented on the importance of colour in architecture. The two other bands of negatives provide evidence of Sise's attendance at Comité International pour la Résolution des Problèmes d'Architecture Contemporaine (CIRPAC), held in May 1934 at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London, England, to establish the program for the next CIAM (1). They also show his meeting in London with Georges Braque during the summer of the same year. (1) Eric Mumford states in "The CIAM Discourse on Urbanism, 1928-1960" that Le Corbusier did not participate at this conference (p. 92). _____________________ La série contient des bandes de négatifs, qui contiennent soit deux, soit trois images, et sont au nombre de sept. Les cinq premières bandes documentent le IVe Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) tenu à bord du SS Patris II du 29 juillet au 13 août 1933, entre Marseilles, France et Athènes, Grèce, à Athènes même, et sur le même bateau de croisière durant le retour à Marseilles. Le Congrès, qui se déroulait autour du thème de "The functional city", consistait en la communication des résultats de l'analyse de plus de trente villes et l'objectif visait à établir de nouveaux principes d'urbanisme. Hazen Sise participait au Congrès à titre de délégué du Canada et présenta la ville de Los Angeles, Californie. Les résolutions prises lors du Congrès ont été publiées pour la première fois au mois de novembre suivant sous le titre de "Constatations du quatrième CIAM". Ces "Constatations" seront ensuite à la base de la Charte d'Athènes que Le Corbusier rédigea en 1941. Les clichés montrent quelques-uns des participants au Congrès, dont Le Corbusier (1887-1965), de la délégation française, alors qu'il faisait une communication; László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), de la délégation allemande, à qui on avait confié la tâche de filmer les exposés; Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), représentant la Finlande; et le peintre Fernand Léger (1881-1955), délégué de la France, qui présenta un discours à l'attention des architectes au sujet de l'importance de la couleur en architecture. Les deux autres bandes de négatifs témoignent de la présence de Sise au (Comité International pour la Résolution des Problèmes d'Architecture Contemporaine (CIRPAC) à Londres, Angleterre, tenu en mai 1934 au Royal Institute of British Architects pour établir le programme du prochain CIAM (1) et de sa rencontre à Londres avec Georges Braque durant l'été de la même année.
