Description:
This project series documents the James Stewart Centre for Mathematics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario from 2000-2003. The office identified the project number as 2000-22. This project consisted of the complete interior renovation of Hamilton Hall, originally built in 1929, for use as a mathematics school at the University. An insulated envelope was added to the historic building in order to preserve its gothic exteriors, which were juxtaposed against new modern and abstract interior spaces. Transparent blue glass was used throughout the four-storey building for walls, ceilings and railings to draw sunlight deep into its interiors. A mix of enclosed rooms and open, interactive spaces were created and slate chalkboards were added throughout the building to inspire spontaneous thought and collaborative work.[1] This project was awarded a Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2004. The project is recorded through drawings dating from around 2000 to around 2002, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, presentation drawings and digital renderings. A large part of the sketches are drawings for custom furniture. [1]"James Stewart Centre for Mathematics, McMaster University." KPMB.

Description:
The project series documents Poli's work on the Interplanetary Architecture project, which was also made into a film by Superstudio directed by Alessandro Poli (the film is not included in the fonds). The project reflects Poli's deep fascination with the moon landing in 1969. Poli uses this major media event as a catalyst for thinking about a new approach to architecture and tools for design, including the idea that film and the movie camera should become part of the toolset. The project also seems to be in some way a response to Epoch magazine's challenge for a "Primo concorso di architettura nello spazio" (the first architectural competition in space), and includes much imagery and textual references to a new road or architectural links between the earth and other planets, including an earth moon highway. In his storyboard, Poli also makes reference to his earlier Piper project, and some imagery features wheels and an amusement park. The Interplanetary Architecture project was exhibited by Superstudio in Rome in 1972 and featured in "Casabella" magazine in April 1972 (no. 364). The project was also featured in the 2010 CCA exhibition "Other Space Odysseys". In the accompanying CCA publication, Poli describes this project as "a voyage off earthbound routes in quest of architecture unfettered by the urban nightmare, by induced needs or by planning as the only tool for regulating and solving the world's problems" (Poli quoted in Borasi and Zardini, 2010, 110). Poli's work on this project is deeply tied to the Zeno project, which was also featured in this exhibition and is included in this fonds (see AP148.S1.1972.PR01). For the Zeno project, Poli envisioned a dialogue between astronaut Buzz Aldrin and an Italian peasant, Zeno of Riparbella. Poli felt that these two shared a similarity in that both their homes were isolated capsules, one that provided a lens from which to see the rest of the world and understand their place in it. The material in the series includes numerous photomontages and collages of astronauts in space, as well as drawings of plantery shapes and structures. There are also texts, some of which include calculations of distances and diameters of planets, as well as notebooks and sketchbooks, many of which Poli included in a folder he entitled "Storyboard." The series also includes an unsent letter from Poli to Adolfo Natalini which describes how, after the moon landing, everything - the planet, the moon, the stars - is architecture, and that this will necessitate the need for new design tools, such as the movie camera. Some works are signed Alessandro Poli-Superstudio.

Description:
This project series documents Phase 2B of work completed for Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island from 1991-1994. The office identified the project number as 9105. This project consisted of interior work for part of the company's headquarters and was the third in a series of projects that the firm would complete for the headquarters. The 300,000 square foot building was predominantly one-storey and located on the block between Saratoga, Grand, London and Newport Avenues. The three projects were known as Main Street, Phase 2A and Phase 2B. Phase 1 was completed in 1986 by Barton Myers Associates with Shirley Blumberg as partner-in-charge. These subsequent projects by KPMB were also headed by Shirley Blumberg and continued the initial style she had established in Phase 1. These projects saw the conversion of a historic brick and masonry mill into the company's new offices. The office structure was inspired by the layout of a Greek town, with a main street running through it. This phase continued the work of Phase 2A and focused mainly on the design of the visitor's entrance. The entrance area was V-shaped, with the wide end at the entrance doors and the narrower end leading guests deeper into the building. Once past this area, the hallway opened like a bubble, wrapping around a large elliptical courtyard in the middle. This courtyard, comprised of glass windows with trees and other landscaping in it, was the most prominent feature of this phase. Materials used throughout the offices included polished concrete, maple, aluminum and perforated metal. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1989 to around 1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, details, and some construction drawings. Many of the drawings focus on the entrance and courtyard. The textual records consist of the project program and schedule.

Synopsis:
The RUR Architecture Kansai-kan of the National Diet Library project records, circa 1996, document the New York based firm’s competition entry for the Kansai Science City branch of Japan’s National Diet Library. Records show integration of landscape in the building’s design, exploration of the relationship between structure and surface, and a multimedia approach to building design. Records include 169 digital files, mostly CAD models and images; 42 drawings and printed renderings; and 5 models and casts.
