Project
AP056.S1.1994.PR06
Description:
This project series documents a prototype bank branch for Canada Trust in Bowmanville, Ontario from 1994-1995. The office identified the project number as 9413. This project consisted of the design of several types of bank branches including free-standing buildings, drive-thru branches and the electronic branches of the future. The goal was to create brand recognition through consistent design features and to adapt to the accessibility needs of the bank's clientele. The primary site was at the corner of Liberty and King Streets in Bowmanville, but the architects examined how the initial concept could be altered for different local environments. Graphics, furniture, banking accessories, and ABM façades were also designed. The project is recorded through a model, drawings and some accompanying notes dating from 1994-1995. The drawings include site surveys, sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details. Some drawings for furnishings and signage are also included.

Description:
The project series documents the commission and built project for an urban development and a public park on the banks of the rivers Torio and Bernesca in the area of La Lastra, León, Spain. The firm identified the project as number 173. “The park of La Lastra is composed by the superpositioning [sic] of four different states of natural space: a fluvial park, an urban park, an agricultural park and a park with common installations. Being next to the urbanization of La Lastra, both public spaces, both adopt a minimum strategy of landscape bubbles and urbanized bubbles respectively in the way that the whole complex becomes a continuum and achieves a scale able to diffuse the traditional limits of either urban fabric or park, confirming a singular complex which responds to the way in which new generations can understand the relation between nature and artificial.” (ARCH270975) Two other projects are related to this one: Alcorque para León (AP164.S1.2004.D5) and Puentes de León (AP164.S1.2004.D6). Documenting the project are presentation documents, notes, a dummy and a proposal.
