Raphael
Raphael was enormously productive, running an unusually large workshop and, despite his death at 37, leaving a large body of work. Many of his works are found in the Vatican Palace, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career. The best known work is "The School of Athens" in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura. After his early years in Rome much of his work was executed by his workshop from his drawings, with considerable loss of quality. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking.
Raymond Affleck
Projects undertaken by Arcop ranged from Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver (1955) to St John’s (Newfoundland) Arts and Cultural Centre (1967). These projects helped to establish Affleck as an influential architect. Between 1964 and 1968 Affleck was mainly engaged on the Place Bonaventure complex in central Montreal, which has been described as "a somewhat forbidding example of Brutalism". Other prominent projects included Place Ville Marie (1956-1965) and Maison Alcan (1983) in Montreal.In projects such as Place Bonaventure, Affleck sought to include indoor pedestrian routes and atria: design features suited to a cold climate. The aim was an integrated architectural plan encompassing buildings, streets and main highways.
