Description:
This project series documents additions to the Dunkeld Residence in Georgeville, Québec in 1994. The home, owned by Donald Sutherland and Francine Racette, was also referred to as the Sutherland Residence. The office identified the project number as 9423. This project consisted of the addition of a deck to the back of the Victorian home, which had been previous renovated by Arthur Erickson and Cornelia Oberlander in the late 1980s. Sketches in this project series also show the development of a stand-alone garage with room for four cars, a boat and a tractor. The project is recorded through drawings dating from on or around 1994. These drawings are mostly sketches, but copies of Arthur Erickson's project drawings are also included.

Description:
The project series documents the competition entry and infrastructure development of the northeast coast park (Parque litoral nord-est, Barcelona Forum 2004, Sant Adrià de Besòs) and adjoining recycling plant (Edificio de oficinas y planta integral de RSU) in Santa Adriá de Besòs, Barcelona, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 133. The competition was organized by the Barcelona City Council and was part of a larger plan to develop new infrastructure for Barcelona, as the Host City for the International Forum of Cultures held in 2004. A number of architects and firms were involved in other projects related to the infrastructure plan, like the South East Coastal Park & Auditoriums by the Foreign Office Architects (See AP171.S1.2000.D6). The park included several other features, like the design of urban furniture (Pep and Xurret benches, and a fence), an artificial mountain, a youth hostel, a small security building and a pier. Only the park, the artificial mountain and the benches were built. The firm arranged work for this project with the following numbers: 133-1, 133-2, 133-6 to 133-8, and 133-10. The CCA did not receive materials classified under numbers 133-9 and 133-11. The recycling plant includes, among other things, office space, an ecomuseum, and a garden. Abalos and Herreros won the competition for design, construction and exploitation of the plant. The firm worked in collaboration with the firm Tersa, S.A. The firm assigned numbers 133-3 to 133-5 to identify this work. Documenting the project are design development and working drawings, correspondence, invoices, minutes, project descriptions, studies, budgets, contracts, reference, photographic and digital materials, and a videocassette.

Description:
This project series documents renovations to the Stratford Festival Theatre in Stratford, Ontario from 1994-1997. The office identified the project number as 9428. This project consisted of the major reimagining and renewal of the famous tent-shaped theatre, which had not previously been updated in the 40 years since its original construction. Conceived with Thomas Payne as the partner-in-charge, the project reconceptualised the existing front-of-house spaces, the performance auditorium and the formal arrival space. The auditorium, which contained a Greek-style thrust stage inspired by Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, saw an increase in comfort by eliminating some seats to make the remaining more spacious. With this, site lines to the stage and the theatre acoustics were also improved. A large expansion of the theatre's lobby, box office, festival shops and member spaces accommodated the theatre's growing number of patrons. On the outside, a large curved entrance drive was added with extensive landscaping and gardens to add to the grandeur of the formal arrival area. A marquee space was also added to the building, which housed a year-round terrace. Thomas Payne created this project's original master plan under a different project number in 1988, but it should be noted that some materials in both projects are overlapping (see project series AP056.S1.1988.PR03 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings and some textual materials dating from 1988-1996. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, drawings for the model, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and drawings of new furnishings. The textual records, which describe the project's design concept, are part of a presentation book.

AP018.S1.1969.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the master plan for the future Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) expansion projects in Toronto in 1969. The office identified the project number as 69035. This project outlines the complete master plan for future expansions of the gallery. For decades, the AGO, under its previous name, The Art Gallery of Toronto, consisted of the nineteenth century Grange mansion and a gallery to its north. The project shows the growth of the AGO from two small buildings surrounded by parks to a much larger two storey building that would touch Dundas Street to the north, Beverly Street to the West, and McCaul Street and the Ontario College of Art to the East. In total, three stages were proposed in this plan to increase the AGO sevenfold from 32,000 square feet of gallery space to 253,000 square feet. In addition, a parking lot was proposed in the Dundas Street Mall to the east of the gallery. Originally, the stages were known in the documentation as Phases I, II, III, and IA but their names evolved with the project. Each stage was eventually given its own project number by the office and the original master plan documented in this project series changed in size and design over the years. This project contract was originally given to John B. Parkin Associates. However, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through drawings, including presentation boards, dating from 1965-1978. The majority of these are original drawings showing the design planning of the art gallery.
