Description:
- This drawing is part of an incomplete set of numbered contract drawings for St. Peter's Kilburn: DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:009. All nine drawings are done to the scale of 1¼" = 10, which figures on the ground plan, DR1989:0015:002, along with the section lines corresponding to the sections, DR1989:0015:005, DR1989:0015:007 - DR1989:0015:009. - This drawing is part of a group of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, from the office of John Loughborough Pearson, composed of nine orthographic contract drawings dated 1867-1868 (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:009) and one elevation for an addition in 1878 (DR1989:0015:010). These drawings were sold at auction by St. Peter's Convent, Woking, along with drawings for that institution (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:089 R/V). Both institutions were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and the lay nursing order which ran it. Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882, and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.

Project
Royal Ottawa Regional Rehabilitation Centre, Ottawa Health Sciences Centre, Ottawa, Ontario (1974)
AP018.S1.1974.PR25
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Royal Ottawa Regional Rehabilitation Centre in Ottawa, Ontario from 1974-1981. The office identified the project number as 7432. The Ottawa Heath Sciences Complex, a vast hospital network encompassing institutions across the city, hired Parkin Architects Planners in 1971 to design and construct University of Ottawa buildings within the network. These campus buildings were located in the Alta Vista neighbourhood and referred to as the Health Sciences Centre. This project consists of one building in that complex, the Royal Ottawa Regional Rehabilitation Centre. The distinction between these names should be noted when viewing the materials. The two-storey rehabilitation centre was constructed directly beside the Ottawa Health Sciences Building, another hospital in the network built by Parkin (see project series AP018.S1.1974.PR01 in this fonds). The proposal conceived a 145,000 square foot hospital with 77 in-patient beds. The design included space for patient accommodation, teaching, research, administrative activities, patient care and treatment, and a concession area. Patients at the hospital would range from those with severe brain injuries, to amputees, to those with rheumatic diseases. The building was carefully designed to accommodate the specialized needs of the patients. The hospital design also included a swimming pool, sports areas, and spaces for other leisure activities thought to aid in the rehabilitation process. The project is recorded through construction photographs, drawings, and textual materials dating from 1971-1983. The textual records include correspondence, specifications, schedules, contract data, conference reports and minutes, inspection reports, predesign notes, consultancy records, financial documents, change orders, supplementary instructions, research, and deficiency lists. The majority of these textual records deal with the hospital's construction, rather than design. Most drawings are reprographic copies of detail drawings and can be found within the textual records. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR25.002 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

AP066.S2
Description:
Issue de la pratique professionnelle de Jacques Rousseau, cette série regroupe les documents illustrant quatre-vingt-trois projets et réalisations conçus, soit de façon autonome ou en collaboration, entre 1973 et 1997. Ces projets se distinguent autant par leur degré d'achèvement (de l'esquisse préliminaire au dessin de construction), par leur échelle (du mobilier au projet urbain), que par leur programme (commercial, domestique, social). Dans l'ensemble, tous les thèmes qui sont explorés, tels l'architecture du bar, le décor de la boutique, l'habitation individuelle et collective, le lieu de travail, et l'image publique des institutions, s'ancrent dans une pensée spéculative sur la ville comme processus de reconstruction et de refondation. Parmi les quatre-vingt-trois projets, vingt datent d'avant 1980, date à laquelle Jacques Rousseau est devenu membre de l'Ordre des architectes du Québec. Ces projets ont donc été réalisés soit pour le compte d'agences pour lesquelles Jacques Rousseau travaillait ou effectuait son stage professionnel, soit à titre officieux en offrant vraisemblablement ses services à ses connaissances. Dans ce dernier cas, il s'agit alors de projets de plus petite envergure pour des rénovations ou agrandissements de résidences. Par ailleurs, un certain nombre de nouveaux projets n'ont pas abouti et sont constitués seulement de dossiers préliminaires qui nous renseignent toutefois sur les démarches entreprises par l'architecte, parfois de sa propre initiative, pour amorcer des projets. La variété de ces derniers montre les multiples intérêts de Jacques Rousseau. Toutefois, trois d'entre eux émergent de sa pratique : l'architecture de bar et de restaurant, le logement collectif coopératif et la morphologie urbaine pour lesquels il consacre de nombreux projets et études. On trouvera aussi d'ailleurs dans la série 9 - Enseignement des documents relatifs à ses travaux sur la morphologie urbaine.
