Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry for a bridge design to be used in Leidschenveen, a planned residential area of The Hague, Netherlands. The design was to be used as a standard design for 60 different bridges, including general traffic bridges, bicycle and pedestrian bridges, and pedestrian-only bridges. Whether or not the competition entry was ever completed or submitted cannot be determined from the content of the file. This file also includes design development drawings, possibly for a gallery or exhibition space. Material in this file was produced between 1997 and 1998, but predominantly in 1997. File contains design development drawings and textual records.

Projet
AP027.S1.D34
Description:
This project series documents a series of commissions to study the various requirements for the future of the Montréal International Airport given the increase in traffic and potential future technological innovations in aviation. Van Ginkel Associates looked at three options: expanding the airport located in Dorval; abandonning Dorval as a site completely; and keeping the Dorval location and adding another airport at a new site. In their study they included future operations, systems, and the impact on the region, including site selection studies, studies of industrial and commercial development related to the airport, and its anticipated activity. Proposals for land use and the reorganization of the territory surrounding the new site were also presented.

Description:
This project series documents The Pig "Carosello Italiano", a film made in the winter of 1967-1968 by Gianni Pettena with archivale footage and shots by Pettena himself. The film is "a comment on the violence of power and consumerism". [1] It consists of a montage of violent scenes, like the Vietnam war, protest demonstrations, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, intersected with images of "mass society's rituals: traffic, shopping and parades in costume"[2]. The project series contains a video recording on VHS of the film, project descriptions in English and in Italian, and a digital version of the film. Source: [1] [2] Marco Scotini, editor.

Projet
AP178.S1.1982.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Plano Urbanístico e Central de Camionagem in Guimarães, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the numbe 12/80. The office assigned the date 1982 to this project. The project was part of an urban plan for Guimarães designed by Fernando Távora. Siza's project consisted of a study for a bus station that was linked to the EN 206 road. The program included parking for short and long term use, a system for the arrival and departure of buses, and a covered pathway. The program also included a building with spaces for the public and for administrative activities, as well as a circuit for the maintenance of the buses without creating traffic. Documenting this project are studies and site plans. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographs and negatives document the project site.

Projet
AP206.S1.1975.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Aditya Prakash's proposal for an alternative plan for Chandigarh, India, which came to be known as the Linear City. Prakash began developing and advocating for this idea around the early 1970s. The Linear City had two fundamental ideas at its core. The first was to raise the roadways in Chandigarh (or any future city) 10-12 feet from ground level. This, he proposed, would separate vehicular traffic from pedestrians, eliminating all the hazardous impacts of traffic on daily life. The large part of the drawings for this project show sector plans and city blocks with evenly dispersed roundabout roadways as major transit hubs, wrapping around but high above centres of pedestrian activity that included shops, markets and green spaces. The sale of the land below the roadways would pay for the upheaval. He also recommended building this city only a few sectors deep, but endlessly expanding it length-wise, with a raised canal along one side to provide an additional transpiration network and irrigation. The second fundamental idea of this city was the creation of self-sustaining sectors in the city plan, advocating that each neighbourhood should have the infrastructure to provide food and recycling for its residents. He fervently argued for the reimagination of modernist Chandigarh by incorporating sustainable, local traditions - the rural should exist in harmony with the urban. In opposition to Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, he believed areas for recycling, animal husbandry, and growing food should be incorporated into the fabric of the city.[1] This project is recorded largely through original drawings of city plans, perspectives and axonometric views detailing Prakash's new vision for the city. It seems that many of the perspectives were drawn by family friend Sandeep Virmani, after listening to Prakash's ideas.[2] The project is also recorded through photographs, negatives and slides showing plans and the project model. A small amount of notes and an article on the project are also included.

Projet
AP018.S1.1976.PR14
Description:
This project series documents alterations and renovations to the Etobicoke General Hospital in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1976-1977. The office identified the project number as 7619. Along with his firm, John C. Parkin began the design and construction of the Etobicoke General Hospital in 1966. Following this date, he completed numerous additional projects for the site. This project documents a second round of alterations and renovations done to the hospital after its initial construction. The first round of alterations commenced in 1975 under a different project number (see project series AP018.S1.1975.PR11). A large part of the alterations were proposed to improve traffic flow in the emergency department. Renovations were proposed to unassigned areas of the hospital in order to centralize clerical functions and increase the waiting room size. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1977. The drawings consist of floor plans while textual records include the project programme report, conference reports and an area utilization study.
