Résumé:
This collection documents the activities of the “Futurecasting: Indigenous-led Architecture and Design in the Arctic” group formed by Jenni Hakovirta, Naomi Ratte, Nicole Luke, Magnus Antaris Tuolja, Andrea McIntosh, Robyn Adams, Berit Kristine Andersen Guvsám, Laila Susanna Kuhmunen, Johanna Minde, and Reanna Merasty. It contains materials related to the planning of seminars and workshops, and the creative process and projects created by its participants in 2022-2023 that were later presented in the Canadian Centre for Architecture’s exhibition and related publication “ᐊᖏᕐᕋᒧᑦ / Ruovttu Guvlui / Towards home” (2022-2023).

DR1974:0002:031:001-055
Description:
- The three portfolios of this group are entitled: Figures et Statues (DR1974:0002:031:001 - DR1974:0002:031:024), Architecture Antique Mélanges (DR1974:0002:031:025 - DR1974:0002:031:043), and Architecture Moderne Mélanges (DR1974:0002:031:044 - DR1974:0002:031:055). -- Portfolio Figures et Statues comprises primarily drawings of classical figures and architectural sculpture from both antique and 19th century sources. Few of the sources of these drawings are clearly identified, with the exception of Genie de la Liberté from the Colonne de Juillet (DR1974:0002:031:016:003). There are a number of drawings of sculpture from the 16th century tomb monument of Maximillian I in Innsbruck (DR1974:0002:031:017 - DR1974:0002:031:023:001-003). -- Portfolio Architecture Antique Mélanges comprises mostly architectural drawings from buildings or monuments in Pisa, Rome, Tivoli, Naples, Florence, Viterbo, and Nice. Also included are a reconstruction of Pliny the Younger's Villa Laurentine (DR1974:0002:031:043), an orthographic drawing of the L'arc des orfèvres (DR1974:0002:031:032:001-002), and an interior perspective of an imaginary church, perhaps inspired by Pugin (DR1974:0002:031:027). -- Portfolio Architecture Moderne Mélanges comprises drawings which represent the classical tradition of 19th century French and English architecture (Bergdoll, p. 2). The French subjects include the Palais de justice, Amiens (DR1974:0002:031:044:002), the Louvois fountain by Visconti, (DR1974:0002:031:049:002), the Arc du Carrousel (DR1974:0002:031:053:001), and the Vendome column (DR1974:0002:031:053:002). English architecture is represented by Charles Robert Cockerell's Hanover Chapel, Regent Street, London (DR1974:0002:031:054:001), and late Georgian\early Regency houses (DR1974:0002:031:045:001-002 and DR1974:0002:031:046:001-002). The drawings related to Amiens Cathedral (DR1974:0002:031:044:001-002) and the Cloaca Maxima (DR1974:0002:031:052:002) are notable exceptions to the contemporary contents of the folder.

Description:
- The Fonds Monadnock comprises over 500 drawings, blueprints, hectographs and manuscripts, mostly for the Monadnock Building, Chicago, and a few drawings and reprographic copies for other buildings by Burnham and Root: the Rookery Building, the Herald Building, and the Chemical Bank Building, all in Chicago, and the Fidelity Trust Building, Tacoma, Washington. Drawings and prints for the Monadnock Building include the earliest known conceptual drawings illustrating the initial development of the design, presentation drawings for a twelve-storey Egyptian-inspired design, design development drawings for a sixteen-storey steel frame project, and design, design development and working drawings for the final built work. - The first design phase for the Monadnock Building is known as the Quamquisset Building (1884). Drawings for this phase include five conceptual elevations for Richardsonian Romanesque and Gothic proposals (DR1986:0767:003, DR1986:0767:062 - DR1986:0767:064 and DR1986:0767:087) , and a presentation drawing for a façade with Eygptian-inspired ornament (DR1986:0767:085). Drawings for the second design phase, the Monadnock Block (1885), include two preliminary plans, twenty presentation drawings showing two variant designs, two structural drawings for the foundations, one design development drawing, and seven working drawings for the steel frame. Drawings for the third design phase, the sixteen-storey steel frame project (1889), include twenty design development drawings - elevations, sections and plans - four of which are stamped by the commissioner of buildings, and one structural drawing, a plan with load calculations (DR1986:0767:026). The majority of the drawings, reprographic copies and manuscripts are for the fourth and final design phase of the Monadnock Building (1889-1892) which incorporates the Kearsarge Building (1890). Drawings for the fourth design phase include mostly working drawings, many design and design development drawings, some contract drawings and a few preliminary and presentation drawings. The working drawings, design and design development drawings for the fourth design phase include general plans, sections and elevations, structural drawings and building systems drawings (plumbing, heating, electrical, elevators) and detail drawings. Most of the contract drawings for the fourth design phase are working drawings which were apparently used on site during the construction of the building. Contract drawings also include detail, construction, mechanical, and a few shop drawings. There are many plans and elevations for office and commercial space interiors, including construction drawings for built-in furniture. Some of these drawings have been approved (signed) by future tenants. There are two later drawings related to the Monadnock Building: a printed plan for the Monadnock addition by Holabird & Roche (DR1986:0767:131) and a plan dated 1895, showing the settlement of the piers of the "Old Monadnock Building" (DR1986:0767:192). All nineteen manuscripts, with the exception of one lighting fixture schedule, concern the calculation of the structural loads for the Monadnock Building. The fonds Monadnock also contains miscellaneous fragmentary execution drawings, pieces of execution drawings, blueprints, staples and metal ties for drawings, for the Monadnock Building, Chicago, Illinois (DR1986:0767:473:001-023). - The fonds Monadnock contains a few drawings for other buildings designed by Burnham and Root in Chicago: two graphite plans for the Herald Building, 1889-1891 (DR1986:0767:173 and DR1986:0767:174); two pen and ink structural drawings showing the steel frame for the Rookery Building, 1885-1887 (DR1986:0767:037 and DR1986:0767:038); a hectograph showing a riser diagram and drawings for the plumbing fixtures for the Chemical Bank Building 1889 (DR1986:0767:358); and six presentation drawings - elevations, sections and plans - and one preliminary drawing for an unbuilt office building designed by Burnham and Root for the corner of Clark and Van Buren Streets in Chicago (DR1986:0767:002, DR1986:0767:089, DR1986:0767:090 R and DR1986:0767:093 - DR1986:0767:095, and DR1986:0767:111). There is a plan and two sections for the steel frame, and a plan for a commercial space for the Fidelity Trust Building, Tacoma, Washington, 1889-1891,(DR1986:0767:163 - DR1986:0767:165, DR1986:0767:184). The elevation for teller wickets is probably also for this building (DR1986:0767:185). Drawings for unidentified buildings include an elevation for a house, an excavation plan, and several miscellaneous sheets of drawings and calculations (DR1986:0767:141 V, DR1986:0767:130, DR1986:0767:090 V, DR1986:0767:158, DR1986:0767:159, DR1986:0767:183 and DR1986:0767:189).
