Projet
AP056.S1.1993.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Scarborough Community Complex in Scarborough, Ontario from 1993-1996. The office identified the project number as 9311. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara in joint-venture with Patrick T. Chan, consisted of a multi-building complex on the corner of Progress and Sheppard Avenues. The project was formerly known as the Chinese Community Centre, which was the prominent building on the site. The Complex's main entrance, located on the site's interior, was highlighted by the Festival Plaza and Festival Court, whose octagonal shape was a nod to the eight essential strokes of Chinese calligraphy. The Festival Court led both to the Chinese Community Centre and a building with a public library and multi-purpose spaces (commonly referred to in the drawings as the Scarborough Community Complex). The Chinese Community Centre had a Festival Hall at it's entrance with wood and custom light fixtures that referred to Chinese craft techniques. This project also planned for vast Chinese gardens around the buildings, a large theatre building and a school at the south-end of the site. The project is recorded through drawings and a magazine publication on the finished project dating from 1992-1996. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and construction drawings. At least eleven schemes were investigated through these drawings.

Projet
AP164.S1.2002.D11
Description:
The project series documents the public commission for a project of the hotel, clubhouse and golf course ''El Toyo'', in Almería, Spain. The promoter was Alboran Golf U.T.E. The firm identified this project as number 155. The hotel has 90 double rooms including 3 suites, storage room, and a technical space underground. The roof was designed as an ecological green space, including a running path and the club house was arranged as a pavillion. "Making use of the differences in height created by the terraces proposed for the hotels Gran Terrace with the swimming pool, the Club-House will appear as a fold in the terrain, practically a topographic accident since it will be constructed by inclined concrete slabs which generate the interior space. The roof is accessible turning itself into a viewing platform for the whole complex, a strategy which gives the club a strong landscaping character.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with José Maria Ezquiaga, Ángel Jaramillo Esteban, Elena Jaramillo Sánchez, Ángel Jaramillo Sánchez, Ramón Espinosa Garcia-Bermúdez, Leopoldo Espinosa Herraiz and OMA, Agustí Obiol y Luis Moya. The team won first prize for their project. It was not built, but was approved. Documenting the project are design development, presentation and working drawings, digital and reference materials, minutes, clippings, resumes, presentation documents, and project descriptions.

Description:
This project series documents the Imperial Oil product application and technical services laboratory in Sarnia, Ontario from 1965-1966. The office identified the project number as 6509. This project consisted of a one-storey building that contained process areas, equipment rooms, testing rooms, a shipping area and offices for technicians and engineers. The project was also known as the PVC Applications Laboratory, since its purpose to support marketing of Polyvinyl Chloride. This building, resting on a 102,400 square foot site, was designed with narrow slot type windows to ensure environmental controls could be met within it. It had a steel frame with dark sable brick exteriors and a plastic fascia manufactured by the client. The client's plastics were also used throughout the interiors. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1965-1966. The drawings are mostly reprographic copies of construction plans, elevations, details, schedules, layouts, and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings.

AP207.S1.1978.PR01
Description:
The project series documents "La Mia Casa All'Elba", Pettena's house in Viticcio on the Island of Elba. The project, started in 1978, remained an ongoing project as the house has undergone many transformations over the years. The residence "is conditioned by its relationship with the physical context, the material and the working of space." [1] Pettena even reused some of the material already on site to build the residence. The house is comprised of different pavilions and spaces interconnected by small paths: "The house has progressively been defined as a sequence of spaces connected by routes, just like in a village. So it goes on growing almost like a primitive village, through intentions, successive organizations of spaces that define one another and are linked together." [2] The project series contains a sketch, plans, perspective drawings of the house and later additions. The project series is also comprised of photographs, including interior views showing artworks, photographs of Elba possibly used for research, and two videocassettes possibly with recordings of TV shows presenting the house.

Description:
This project series documents a new building for the Fields Institute of Research in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Toronto from 1993-1995. The office identified the project number as 9318. This project consisted of a four-storey building, characterized by a rusticated limestone and red-brick exterior, located at 222 College Street. The building's layout consisted of offices, conference rooms, classrooms, resource centres, computer training facilities, a library, and the main lobby and reception. At the core was a grand atrium with a wood-lined helical staircase that ran the height of the building, a stucco fireplace and an elliptical reception desk. Designed to encourage spontaneous thought and interaction, the institute featured slate chalkboards throughout. The roof was comprised of a Douglas fir deck on metal trusses, while the interior finishes included tiles, carpet, wood, metal, stone and concrete.[1] The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, a presentation painting and textual records dating from 1993-1996. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives and axonometric drawings. The photographic materials include images for presentation and research, while the textual records document completion schedules. [1] "Fields Institute Facilities."

Description:
This project series documents the Nicolas store at 86 Bloor Street West in Toronto in 1990. The office identified the project number as 9010. This project consisted of renovations to the existing 983 square foot space to accommodate the high-end menswear store. Located at ground level at the corner of Bellair Street, renovations to the interiors included mechanical and electrical upgrades, as well as new finishes and fitments. The finishes were done in wood veneer panelling and stone and polished concrete flooring. Fitments included new lighting fixtures, rack systems and other clothing display furnishings. Renovations to the exterior consisted of reglazing part of the Bellair Street facade and recladding. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1990. Photographs show the finished store and the drawings include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives and furnishings drawings. Many of the furnishings drawings are for the new rack system.
