AP018.S1.1972.PR18
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of a library and an addition to city hall in Fredericton, New Brunswick from 1972-1975. The office identified the project number as 7226. This project consisted of two distinct parts; a public library constructed at the corners of Campbell and Carleton Streets, and an addition to city hall whose original building was constructed at the corners of Queen and York Streets around 1875. These two buildings were located two blocks from one another, but a master plan for the project shows that the separating streets would be removed in favour of a pedestrian friendly landscape. Both buildings were located next to the St. John River. For this project, Parkin Architects Planners partnered with architectural firm Graham Napier Associates to form the joint venture referred to as Graham Parkin Architects Engineers Planners. The brick-clad addition to city hall nearly doubled the square footage of the ground and first floors. The original city hall was four levels and the addition was two, with a mechanical penthouse on top. The new areas included departmental offices such as planning, engineering and sewage, a drafting room, conference room, and reception, among others. The library consisted of a two-storey, brick-clad building that was approximately 24,000 square feet in size with a 16 car parking lot. The ground floor included reception and exhibit areas, stacks, administration offices, bookmobiles, and staff lockers, while the second level had stacks and reading areas, audiovisual areas and a staff work room and break room. The library also had a mechanical penthouse on top. The project is recorded through drawings, including mounted presentation boards, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1972-1978. The drawings consist of original sketches, plans, sections, elevations and details of both city hall and the library, and some drawings used for construction. There are also drawings of the original city hall, first drafted around 1875. The photographs show existing buildings and the construction progress of the project. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, specifications, consultancy documentation, a soil investigation, research and drawing transmittal records. File AP018.S1.1972.PR18.020 contains an index to the textual materials, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents additions and alterations made to the offices of law firm Davies, Ward and Beck on the 47th floor of Commerce Court in Toronto from 1979-1981. The office identified the project number as 7912. This project consisted of a new coffee room, changes to doors, revisions of power and telephone outlets, and revisions of the air exhaust system in the conference room, among others. This project is also referred to as Expansion to 48th Floor in the documentation, although the revisions mentioned were largely implemented on the 47th floor. It is likely that the expansion to the 48th floor planning began under this project number but was fully realized under a future project number (project series AP018.S1.1981.PR04 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1979-1983. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of as built and construction drawings that are arranged within the textual documentation. The textual records include correspondence and meeting minutes with contractors, financial records, change orders, supplementary instructions and mechanical specifications.

Description:
This project series documents a feasibility study for the new National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario from 1980-1982. The office identified the project number as 8011. In 1977, Parkin Architects Planners won a limited architectural competition for their design of the new National Gallery of Canada. The selected site for the competition, next to the Ottawa River, was controversial due to its uneven ground and lack of access to main streets in Ottawa. This project consisted of a feasibility study to use the existing Memorial Buildings in Ottawa as the site of the new National Gallery of Canada. These buildings, originally built in 1954 as federal offices, were between 4-6 storeys with 70,000 square feet of space, excluding parking levels. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1980-1982. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of building sections, floor plans and area calculations. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, financial records and the feasibility report and design scheme documentation.

Description:
This project series documents the Pavilhão Multiuso in Vigo, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 83/90. The office assigned the date 1997 to this project. Siza was invited by Manuel Perez, the mayor of Vigo, to propose a design for a multi-purpose building pavilion. The intention of the pavilion was to host music performances, sports events and conferences. The building also included a cafeteria, offices for management, and an underground parking with a capacity for 600 cars. Due to delays in the design process the contract was cancelled by the municipality. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans and presentation drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project of gardens for a housing project Marine Gardens, situated at the corner of S. W. Marine Drive and Yukon Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in 1971 with architect Michael Katz. It was created as a demonstration project for the United Nation Habitat Conference held in Vancouver in 1976. The project consisted in a middle income family housing complex of 70 two-storey town houses connected by walkways and a shared garden space. The housing complex also included a day care centre. Oberlander was in charged of designing the gardens for the row houses development and the central shared courtyard. The development has been progressively destroyed and remplaced by condo towers since 2015. The project series contains a perspective drawing and working drawings such as a site plan, a unit plan, sections and elevations, a parking level plan, landscape plans, planting plans and sections of planters. The project is also recorded through photographs of the landscape work and textual records, including specifications, correspondence, inspection reports, and plant lists.
