AP018.S1.1972.PR17
Description:
This project series documents a proposal for a People Mover System for the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo in 1972. The office identified the project number as 7224. The project was a transportation system for the zoo, which required a guideway be built without disrupting the zoo's terrain as well as ensuring that the fences were out of passenger view. Parkin Architects Planners' worked with the engineering firm M.M. Dillion Limited and were in conversation with Boeing to build the vehicle for the system. The project is recorded through several topographic drawings showing the proposed design for the tracks, also included is a file of correspondence, mostly with M.M. Dillion Limited and Boeing, as well a file of notes and photocopies of drawings for the passenger vehicle. A letter in the correspondance file suggests that Parkin Architects Planners where not choosen to build this project.

Description:
At the beginning of powered flight, most airplanes required only a stretch of grassy plain 1,500 feet long for take-off and landing, and a converted barn served as both terminal and hangar. Only with the advent of a profitable commercial aviation industry in the late 1920s, some twenty-five years after Wilbur and Orville Wright’s historic flight, did the modern airport(...)

Description:
- This sheet contains a number of drawings, two of which are sketch elevations for airport buildings. While the upper complex has the scale and massing of many of Wright's Los Angeles Municipal Airport drawings, the lower drawing, with its tall observation tower standing out against a low station building, seems closer to his designs for Boeing Airport, Burbank, California (see DR1987:0391), or the Lehigh Airports Competition (see DR1987:0359).
