AP018.S1.1975.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a bus shelter in Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1975. The office identified the project number as 7505. This project consisted of the design of a bus shelter in front of the Fredericton Public Library, located at the corners of Campbell and Carleton Streets. 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 library was also designed by Graham Parkin a few years earlier. The firms eventually lost this contract, based on the city's opinion that the firms hadn't acted quickly enough, the design was too permanent and the location was no longer available. The project is recorded through correspondence dating from 1975.

This project series documents the National Aviation Museum which is part of Rockliffe Airport in Ottawa Ontario from 1983-1987. The office identified the project number as 8320. This project consisted of a building, commissioned by Public Works Canada, to house Canada's aviation museum collections. The basementless building was approximately five storeys in height, triangular shaped, and located between a runway and base building at the Rockcliffe Airport. This project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1983-1987. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of details, arranged within the textual materials. Photographs and negative strips show the construction progress of the project. The textual records include correspondence, specifications, instructions to tenderers, schedules and financial documentation.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the new National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario from 1983-1988. The office identified the project number as 8303. In 1977, Parkin Architects Planners won a limited architectural competition for their design of the new National Gallery of Canada. However, after cited lack of funds, and controversies over the chosen site as well as how the competition was run, the newly formed Canada Museums Construction Company sought another design and architect for the new National Gallery. The building site was also moved from its original location near the Canadian parliament buildings on Wellington Street to the corner of Sussex Drive and St Patrick Street. Eventually, Moshe Safdie, in joint venture with Parkin Architects Planners, were chosen as the architects for the project. Parkin was the minor partner in this joint venture and his firm's work seemed to focus more on construction than design. The dispute over this decision can be found in the textual records of project series AP018.S1.1976.PR23 in this fonds. This project was commissioned by Public Works Canada and the Canada Museum Construction Company, both federal government agencies. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1976-1989. The drawings consist largely of structural and construction drawings for the project. Some drawings in this project series were prepared by Public Works Canada. The textual records for this project include specifications, financial records, change order documentation, correspondence, interoffice letters, documentation on the competition controversy and competition reports. The textual records also focus heavily on a dispute between Parkin/Safdie and the client regarding the architects' professional fees.

Synopsis:
The Ulrich Königs Chemnitz Stadium project records, 1995-1996, document the competition entry and design for an innovative stadium in Chemnitz, Germany. The project was a collaboration between Peter Kulka, Ulrich Königs, Cecil Balmond, and Arup Group, Ltd. The design was primarily driven by the theoretical and methodological processes made possible by computer-aided design, rather than aesthetics. The project records have both digital and physical components, which chiefly include renderings, wireframe drawings, digital 3D models, photographs, slides, video, and a booklet.

Description:
This project series documents the Maharaja Aggarsain Public School in Kurukshetra, India from 1986-1987. The project consisted of a U-shaped building that surrounded a large playground courtyard and included a dormitory block on the west, a classroom block on the east and an auditorium block that joined the other two. In some schemes, a swimming pool block completes the square at the open end. The elevations facing the interior playground were lined with verandas that had large, repeated archway openings. The other elevations followed this style through the use of arched windows and doors. Additional courtyards placed evenly throughout the east and west blocks created communal spaces within the school. The project is recorded through drawings, most of which are originals, consisting of plans, elevations, sections and details dating from 1986-1987.
