Description:
Series 3, Advanced Trading Floor Operations Center, 1998-2004, combined two projects in the built environment, the Command Center and the Executive Ramp, both conceived as a technological expansion on the existing NYSE Trading Floor. This series includes textual and born-digital components, as well as a number of drawing sets. The real-time virtual reality environment returned to the physical environment with the design and construction of the Command Center and Executive Ramp. The Command Center project involved the construction of a raised platform from the Main Room to the Blue Room; features included an information desk, a systems desk, and a video wall, the last of which displayed various stock data. It was later renovated during the Executive Ramp project, which primarily involved the installation of a multi-screen display of the 3DTF into the Command Center. Together, the two projects make up the Advanced Trading Floor Operations Center, often referred to as “the ramp.” The textual records for this series include correspondence and a small number of photographs. Digital files for the Advanced Trading Floor primarily include handouts for presentation meetings; there is also a small body of photographs of NYSE and press material. Additionally, there are also approximately 65 plans, which document the design and construction of the Command Center. These include preliminary drawings, construction sets, and addendums. Notably, the oversized materials also contain a photograph of former U.S. President Bill Clinton standing on the ramp.

Projet
AP018.S1.1978.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the Ontario Congress and Trade Centre in Toronto from 1978-1980. The office identified the project number as 7807. This project consisted of the investigation of building a congress and trade centre on Front Street West. The project proposed a 519,500 square foot building with a 200,000 square foot exhibition hall that could be divided for smaller events. The building would also contain a multiuse hall, theatres, meeting rooms, offices, food and beverage facilities, and a 1300 car parking area. The project was proposed to cost around $73 million. The project is also referred to as the Toronto Convention Centre or Ontario Convention Centre. The majority of the textual documentation shows the controversial debate over whether the centre should be built, including numerous press clippings that highlight the issue. It should be noted that Congress Centre and Convention Centre are used interchangeably in the materials. Eventually, this project contract was given to another architectural firm and today is known as the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1981. The drawings largely show designs for the proposed building and site plans. The textual records include correspondence, meeting minutes, interoffice memos, project proposals, feasibility reports, press clippings on the project and on other convention centres, research documentation on other convention centres, documentation on a proposed hotel to be built on the centre and promotional materials.

Projet
AP056.S1.1988.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the first scheme and final design of The Design Exchange in Toronto from 1988-1994. The office identified the project numbers as 8801 for the first scheme and 9231 for the final design. Although two project numbers were used, materials for each project cannot be clearly separated. This project consisted of the renovation, restauration and expansion of the old Toronto Stock Exchange building, located at the base of the Ernst Young Tower in the Toronto Dominion Centre. The Design Exchange (D/X) was a new cultural institution, dedicated to the economic and cultural promotion of design in the country through exhibits, lectures, banquets, trade shows and other events. With Shirley Blumberg as the partner-in-charge, the art deco style trading floor was restored as an open event space, with the original Charles Comfort murals retained. In order to create harmony between the art deco building and the neo-modernist renovations, bold, linear architectural elements such as stairs, walls, screens and bridges were reiterated throughout the design. A staircase from the trading floor led to an overlooking bridge and created a connection between the trading floor, trading gallery and resource centre. Other areas of the 40,000 square foot building included an exhibit space, café, member's lounge, retail store, seminar rooms and administrative offices. Coloured planes of cobalt blue, chartreuse and ochre were set against a material palette of red oak, cherry, limestone, glass and stainless steel. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1988-1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include a large amount of sketches. Also included are plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and drawings for custom furnishings. The photographs show the completed interiors of the building.
