Reference number:
DR1987:0663
Description:
- This drawing is possibly a conceptual drawing for Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California. The area enclosed by the plan is similar to that of the sketch plan for the parish house and cloister on drawing DR1987:0667. If this drawing is for the parish house, then the road at the upper centre of the drawing would be an access road off Narcissa Drive, the northern boundary of the site, while the curve at the bottom would represent Palos Verdes Drive South.

Reference number:

Description:
Long-range plan to preserve and expand Mount Royal Park. Definition and recognition of the logical boundaries of the mountain park area are called for by the Save the Mountain Committee. The plan would establish the right of city to acquire all properties within the designated areas as they become available, and would restrict construction and control building heights in the park area. This project was initiated by H. P. Daniel van Ginkel and Blanche Lemco van Ginkel on their own account. The work was executed pro bono with Michel Chevalier, Harry Mayerovitch and Hazen Sise. It was effected with the support of the Montréal Parks and Playground Association. The recommendations were accepted and embodied in a private bill by the Québec Provincial Legislature and in the bylaws of the City of Montréal.

A window can be a void, an aperture, or a glass surface. Existing at the boundary between interior and exterior, windows admit light and air and frame views. The idea of the window, combined with advances in glass as a building material, became central to architectural experimentation during the modern period.

Red Line (1972)
Red Line (1972)
Reference number:
AP207.S1.1972.PR04
Description:
The project series documents "Red Line", a performance that consisted in tracing a red line in the middle of the road with paint sprayer and compressor loaded on the back of a truck. The red line stretched across forty-five kilometres of road and traced the limits of the municipality of Salt Lake City. "The red line rendered visible the boundaries that structure our mental fields of perception and modify our understanding of space." [1] The performance was carried out in February and March 1972 with a group of students from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City. The project series contains photographs of Pettena and his team at work tracing the red line, a drawing, and a map of the Salt Lake City municipality showing the trajectory of the line. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor. Non-conscious architecture: Gianni Pettena, Sternberg Press, 2018, 235 pages. p. 168.

Description:
This project series documents the project "Glass Station", a gas station constructed on an irregularly-shaped site at the entrance to the town of Oguni in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The project was completed in 1993. The office, pumps, shop and work space of the service station are covered by an undulating canopy composed of asymmetrical concrete arches that form the boundaries of a lattice of pretensioned steel rods and aluminum channels into which panels of glass bonded to sheets of perforated stainless steel were inserted, sealed with polyester film, and secured with structural silicon. The project series is chiefly composed of design development drawings. It includes numbered sets of architectural drawings and structural drawings and some mechanical and electrical drawings. There is a set of unnumbered ink drawings and reproductions related to the geometry of the canopy. There are also some images of the canopy that are output from a computer file or files (wireframes and renderings). There is a small amount of textual material related to technical data and form finding for the canopy. The file also includes 2 study models. There are some graphic design documents for the name of the project and for the name "IDEX". Material in this file was created between 1990 and 1993.
