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.

Projet
AP018.S1.1974.PR11
Description:
This project series documents planning and construction for Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica from 1974-1977. The office identified the project number as 7413. This project consisted of renovations to the existing terminal 1 building, the addition of a terminal 2 and the addition of a small charter terminal. This work was undertaken in joint venture with other Canadian firms who worked together on airport planning projects around the world. The firms for this project consisted of Parkin Architects Planners as the architects, the Montreal Engineering Company Limited, Peat, Marwick and Partners, Ffolkes, Harrison & Partners Ltd., Rutkowski, Bradford & Partners, and IBI Group. The new terminal was a roughly rectangular building with paving and landscaping extending towards the parking lot. A long, narrow hallway moving diagonally from the main building was used for planing and deplaning. It was predicted that terminal 2 would need to be expanded in 1990 to deal with increased international traffic. This project was originally proposed in a report to plan developments for Jamaican airports from 1970-1990. It originally proposed airports in Kingston and Montego Bay, but only this Montego Bay project was realized. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1970-1977. The drawings include plans, sections, elevations, details, schedules, perspectives and development and phasing drawings. The textual records consist of correspondence, project reports and studies, the original 30 year development plan, drawing lists, schedules, specifications, contractor records, progress reports, meeting minutes, interoffice letters, daily diaries and tender documents.

Description:
This project series documents the design of a condominium complex in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec from 1974-1976. The office identified the project number as 7426. This project consisted of a proposed condominium complex, composed of multiple low-rise buildings, with approximately 40-54 units located on Senneville Road next to the Lake of Two Mountains. Many schemes were considered for this project, including one with a series of modular buildings on a diagonal grid, and another with a perimeter of modular buildings with a courtyard in the middle. Despite the scheme, these condo buildings were always low-rise, with a few units per building. This may have been due to the fact that the lot was zoned for single dwelling, townhouse, duplex or triplex homes with a maximum of three storeys. There were also several schemes for the parking, such as a parking garage, individual driveways, or parking underground each unit. This project, commissioned by TransAtlantic Consultants Limited in Montreal, changed many times as budgets were reduced over the years. In the end, it seems the project was never constructed. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1974-1976. Most of the drawings are original design drawings of plans, sections, elevations and an isometric, with some reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice memos, survey and site data, local by-laws, construction documentations, cost estimates and research. There is an index to the textual records, created by the office, located before file AP018.S1.1974.PR20.007.

Description:
Series consists of records documenting two of Kivi Sotamaa and OCEAN North’s projects: the Open Arena – Töölö Football Stadium and the Terra Cultura – Jyväskylä Music and Art Centre. Both projects were international architectural competitions worked on concurrently in 1997. The collaborative process around these projects allowed exploring design methods through the usage of digital tools. Records, for the most part, consist of digital files and show the design process for both projects. In discussions with Greg Lynn, Johan Bettum and Kivi Sotamaa have expressed that they had broached Töölö as a landscape and Jyväskylä as a cloud. Altogether, this vision is visible in the digital drawings for both projects, although more predominantly in the Jyväskylä records which also includes detailed plans. For both projects, digital drawings and models were created using CAD software (Microstation, form*Z, 3D Studio). Many drawings were saved exclusively as raster or vector images. Project records include physical drawings. For Töölö, drawings show mainly the work on the shape of the structure and include printouts from CAD drawings. These are partial plans and sections. The records for Jyväskylä include sections and plans of the different levels of the building as well as an annotated sketch. Textual records in Series 2 provide more context for the design process and the creation and use of methodologies such as particle streaming, used in the design process for Jyväskylä, and Channelling Systems, used in the design process for Töölö.
