Description:
The project series documents "Poltramaca", an installation that consists of half an armchair carved into a tree trunk and half a hammock hanging from a tree. The installation was presented at the Salone del Mobile, Galleria Megapoli in Milan in 1985. "[...] the trunk, cut down and abandoned, is thereby reconquered by its context, “caught” by a net that connects it to a still living tree." [1] Two other editions of the installation were presented at the "Gianni Pettena one-man show" exhibition at the Museo Piaggio, in Pontedera, in 2003, and at the Galleria Enrico Fornello in Prato, in 2009. The project series contains sketches, three drawings showing the variations of the armchair-hammock design, notes, and photographs of the installation in 1985, 2003 and 2009, and a digital video of the 2009 installation.

Description:
The project series documents "Ombra", an installation presented for the first time at the Expo Arte of Galleria Speciale, in Bari, in 1986. It consists of an overcoat with flexible elements inserted in the lining of the fabric that form a structure to either create a seat for the wearer to sit on it or to stand on its own, if not worn. "So the multiplicity of roles, functions and subjects gives rise to an ambiguity, and a source of anxiety for he who, having conceived, made and “inhabited” it, perceives its more disquieting implications, those of an anomalous shadow, of another self that exists even in our absence." [1] The project series contains a sketch, photographs of the installation at the Galleria Speciale in 1986, a montage of film stills from Pettena's video explaining the installation, and digital versions of the installation film.

AP207.S1.1992.PR01
Description:
The project series documents Pettena's preliminary study and proposal for the restoration and conversion of the Forte Inglese, a Napoleonic era fortification in Portoferraio, Italy. Pettena worked on this project in 1992. The restauration and conversion project for the fort was not realized because of changes in the local government. The proposal consisted of converting the fort into an exhibition space, an auditorium and a public garden "by simply adding spaces that utilized volumes created underground or at the rear: thus the respect of the preexisting context was assured, from the viewpoint of history as well as landscape." [1] The project series contains a preliminary study report by Pettena, sketches, site plans, floor plans, elevations, and sections for Pettena's proposal, reference photographs, research material, such as photocopies of publications on the fort and reference plans for the historic building.

AP056.S1.1988.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the first phase of development for renovations to the Stratford Festival Theatre in Stratford, Ontario in 1988. The office identified the project number as 8806. Conceived with Thomas Payne as the partner-in-charge, this project consisted of the master plan for future renovations to the famous tent-shaped theatre. The proposed renovations included a new, larger lobby, improvements to the entrance and arrival area, landscaping and the addition of a marquee space. The plan divided these renovations into several phases, the last of which proposed the addition of a new museum space. The realization of this project began in 1994, and was completed under a different project number (see project series AP056.S1.1994.PR14 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and photographic materials dating from on or around 1988, with one drawing from 1995. The drawings include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and sections. The photographic materials consist of an aerial site photograph and studies of the project model.

Description:
This project series documents the IBM headquarters building in North York, Ontario from 1965-1967. The office identified the project number as 6511. This project consisted of a U-shaped building located at the top of a ravine at 1150 Eglington Avenue East, on the same property as the IBM plant. The building was brick clad with bronze-tinted windows to reduce heat and glare from the sun. Planning also began for an extension of the headquarters at this time. The headquarters was a mixed-level building with four-storeys at its tallest. The building was included on Toronto's heritage registry in 2006, but a proposal to redevelop the site was submitted for consideration in 2018. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1968, which consist of a set of as built plans, sections, elevations, details and layouts. Also included in the project series is a mounted presentation photograph of the finished building exterior.

Description:
Le dossier documente la soumission pour le concours international de la Place Jacques-Cartier, à Montreal, Québec, tenu pendant l'été 1990. Jacques Rousseau s'est mérité le premier rang ex-aequo. Le dossier contient des dessins, des documents textuels, des reprographies et des photographies. Objectifs du concours: "The competition objectives and evaluation criteria in the Place Jacques-Cartier competition neither separated programmatic issues from specific architectural ones nor did they establish a hierarchy for these issues. The competitors were asked to generate general attitudes towards development in the area at the same time as they were asked to design street furniture, lighting, and decorative ironwork (mentioned at least 8 times in the competition document.)" Gary Gilbert, "Ceci n'est pas un concours", Arcade, juin-juillet 1991, vol. 11, nº 1, p. 12. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Alors que partout les signes et les messages se sont multipliés et superposés, que la parole est devenue inintelligible et le sens dilué, le silence apparaît comme le seuil d'appréciation d'une mémoire en devenir. Le projet que nos déposons cherche à comprendre la complexité contemporaine qui touche le site mais se refuse à la surcharge. Aussi cherche-t-il à accueillir une mémoire construire de silences mais soutient que le silence n'est pas se taire." Jacques Rousseau, ARQ: Architecture-Québec, nº 59, février 1991, p. 17.

Description:
Le dossier documente la soumission pour le concours international de la Place Jacques-Cartier, à Montreal, Québec, tenu pendant l'été 1990. Jacques Rousseau s'est mérité le premier rang ex-aequo. Le dossier contient des dessins, des documents textuels, des reprographies et des photographies. Objectifs du concours: "The competition objectives and evaluation criteria in the Place Jacques-Cartier competition neither separated programmatic issues from specific architectural ones nor did they establish a hierarchy for these issues. The competitors were asked to generate general attitudes towards development in the area at the same time as they were asked to design street furniture, lighting, and decorative ironwork (mentioned at least 8 times in the competition document.)" Gary Gilbert, "Ceci n'est pas un concours", Arcade, juin-juillet 1991, vol. 11, nº 1, p. 12. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Alors que partout les signes et les messages se sont multipliés et superposés, que la parole est devenue inintelligible et le sens dilué, le silence apparaît comme le seuil d'appréciation d'une mémoire en devenir. Le projet que nos déposons cherche à comprendre la complexité contemporaine qui touche le site mais se refuse à la surcharge. Aussi cherche-t-il à accueillir une mémoire construire de silences mais soutient que le silence n'est pas se taire." Jacques Rousseau, ARQ: Architecture-Québec, nº 59, février 1991, p. 17.

Description:
This project series documents an office tower and additions to the Simpson's store at 401 Bay Street in Toronto from 1964-1968. The office identified the project number as 6408. This project consisted of a 585,000 square foot building with 9 low-rise levels and 23 high-rise office floors. The low-rise exteriors were visually separated from the office tower by their larger square footage and different façades. The lower exteriors were characterized by light amber metal panels and display windows of glass with stainless steel frames at the shopping levels. The building is wrapped from the ground to the top in concrete columns. The building contained the Simpson's store, barber shop, banking mezzanine, cafeteria, restaurant and cocktail lounge and headquarters office spaces. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings and a presentation board of a photograph dating from 1966-1968. The drawings are a set of construction plans, sections, details, elevations, project graphics, layouts, and schedules.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Acadia Park at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in 1969. The project consisted in design the landscape master plan and the play area for the Acadia Married Student Housing complex, which included in kindergarten. Oberlander preserved the forest edge of the site and even included some of the mature trees present on the site by suspending rope swings to their trunks. The play area also reused ancient trees as play structures, and a wobble walk made of logs ends of various heights. The project series contains design development drawings, including a proposed landscape master plan and landscape plans, and also working drawings, such as elevations and details of the playground structures and benches. The project is also documented through photographs of the playground and correspondence with clients. Source: [1] Herrington, Susan.
