Commercial architects

Over the past two decades, the Archives has acquired collections from several architectural firms, whose work illustrates a range of private and public buildings that have contributed to the variety and richness of our city.

Each of these architects managed to carve a niche for himself, finding a core of building projects to sustain his practice, while allowing for occasional departures. Chapman and Boigon both specialized in public housing and health facilities; Hounsom and Sprachman focused on cinemas, while Robb excelled in grand, tourism-inspired structures of wood and stone.

Their records document the entirety of the creative process in architectural design, from rough sketches through to the finished drawings.
