Weavers' Studio
AP182.S1.2013.D2
Description:
File documents a project for a live-work complex in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Commissioned by Chiaki Maki, a Japanese textile weaver who spends a portion of each year in northern India, this complex in the Himalayan foothills provides working space for a studio of twenty-five weavers from all over the country. It is conceived as a cyclical, self-sufficient farm system that integrates all aspects of the weaving process, from cultivating indigo and henna for dye to gathering silk from cocoons and spinning wool. The site had been previously cultivated, and the design works with the landscape's existing pathways, terraces, and mango groves. Nearly all construction materials--including the brick, limestone, and phosphorescent river stones used in the foundation and to treat the brick walls--come from within a two-kilometre radius of the studio. The five-sided building occupying the centre of the site is the workshop itself, which frames a courtyard for gatherings (of weavers, children, etc.). A gallery in the complex displays the weavers' work, while the linear buildings accommodate motorcycle parking, a guest house, and residences for Maki and her partner as well as the site caretaker and his family. File contains artefacts and realia, models, photographs, drawings, site reports, and a video recording.

AP018.S1.1976.PR25
Description:
This project series documents alterations and extensions made to the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7633. This project consisted primarily of an extension to the building's press hall and alterations. An addition of approximately 20,000 square feet was proposed to house printing operations on property once occupied by parking. The new space would permit the addition of a new printing press, adding 4 units of press to the existing10 unit press line. Due to the erasure of parking, this project is also heavily concerned with the search for new parking for the building. Parkin Architects Planners had designed and constructed the original Toronto Sun building at 333 King Street East from 1973-1975. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records, photographs and slides dating from 1974-1981. The majority of drawings are of details and are arranged within the textual records. The photographic materials show the building's exterior and masonry. The textual records include correspondence, specifications, meeting and site reports, tender documents, consultancy records, bylaw and building authority records, financial documents, change orders, supplementary instructions, interoffice letters, and contracts. File AP018.S1.1976.PR25.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the design of the Broadcast Centre Development on Front Street in Toronto in 1989. The office identified the project number as 8910. This project, commissioned by Graywood Developments Ltd., consisted of a mixed-use development located on the property directly east of the new CBC headquarters. This project was also referred to as the CBC/Graywood Development in the documentation and was an entry for a site development competition. The project proposed a mixed low-rise and high-rise tower that would contain a hotel and condominiums. The hotel would comprise the first six floors, creating a base for the tower, which would hold residential properties above the eighth floor recreation centre. A triple-height club lounge was proposed at the 43rd floor, visually separating the lower tower from the penthouses above it. These penthouses would be set back from the levels below with a long, pointed tower extending above them to complete the top of the building. This project was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings, a model and photographs of the model dating from 1988-1989. The drawings consist of site surveys, sketches, elevations, sections, plans, perspectives, axonometric drawings and presentation drawings

Description:
This project series documents alterations to Tudhope Studios located at 284 King Street East in Toronto from 1987-1988. The office identified the project number as 18733. This project, headed by Marianne McKenna, consisted of alterations to the interiors and exterior of a two-storey building, originally constructed in 1947. The building, owned by design firm Tudhope Associates Inc., had approximately 12,758 square feet of space, 19 of which were added on the second floor during the alterations. The building's lower floor was used as a wholesale area, the first floor as offices, and the third floor as design studios and workshops. The interiors used a mix of carpeting, vinyl tiles, epoxy terrazzo and unfinished concrete for the floors. The interior walls were largely painted gypsum board while the exterior facade was masonry and stucco. The project also included the design and construction of furnishings inside the offices, such as signs, lighting fixtures, desks and the boardroom table. The project is recorded through drawings and a photograph of the finished exterior dating from 1987-1988. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives, axonometric and furnishing drawings for design and construction. The detail drawings are for the site, exterior, schedules, interiors, stairs and millwork.

The project series documents Pettena's work for the Nuovo Municipio, a new town hall building in Canazei in Italy, from 1990 to 1997. The project consisted of preserving and restoring a historic building designed by Ettore Sottsass in the 1930s and adding a new construction built in a gap between two sections of the building the two volumes of the building. "Through the glazed connection, the new volume maintains a certain distance from the existing volume and is itself split into two parts, creating in practice a pedestrian intersection between the new and the old building and between the two sections of the new building: a pedestrian intersection that is laid out on two distinct levels." [1] The project series contains sketches, site plans, floor plans, elevations and sections. It is also comprised of research material, such as copies of building plans by Ettore Sottsass Sr. The project is also documented through proposals and project descriptions, reports, contracts with the city of Canazei, correspondence with engineers, photographs of the construction, and videos of the building. The project series also includes press clippings about the project and an unidentified videorecording.
