Reference number:
AP215
Synopsis:
Le fonds Pierlucio Pellissier, 1946-2020, documente les projets de conservation et de commissariat entrepris par Pierlucio Pellissier, architecte, conservateur et professeur, entre 1996 et 2003. Le fonds comprend des documents textuels et photographiques touchant à trois projets distincts : les restaurations de deux églises décorées par l’architecte et artiste Guido Nincheri (1885-1973), qui en assura également le design architectural, soit Sainte-Amélie à Baie-Comeau, Québec (1938-1939) et Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense, Montréal (1919), et le commissariat d’une exposition sur l’œuvre de Guido Nincheri tenue à Montréal en 2001. Le travail de conservation et de restauration des fresques de Nincheri, qui ornent les deux églises, forme la plus grande partie de la documentation, mettant en lumière la spécificité du médium et les problématiques de la conservation d’œuvres d’art à portée publique.

AP018.S1.1978.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the Ontario Congress and Trade Centre in Toronto from 1978-1980. The office identified the project number as 7807. This project consisted of the investigation of building a congress and trade centre on Front Street West. The project proposed a 519,500 square foot building with a 200,000 square foot exhibition hall that could be divided for smaller events. The building would also contain a multiuse hall, theatres, meeting rooms, offices, food and beverage facilities, and a 1300 car parking area. The project was proposed to cost around $73 million. The project is also referred to as the Toronto Convention Centre or Ontario Convention Centre. The majority of the textual documentation shows the controversial debate over whether the centre should be built, including numerous press clippings that highlight the issue. It should be noted that Congress Centre and Convention Centre are used interchangeably in the materials. Eventually, this project contract was given to another architectural firm and today is known as the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1981. The drawings largely show designs for the proposed building and site plans. The textual records include correspondence, meeting minutes, interoffice memos, project proposals, feasibility reports, press clippings on the project and on other convention centres, research documentation on other convention centres, documentation on a proposed hotel to be built on the centre and promotional materials.

AP018.S1.1972.PR02
Description:
This project series documents a feasibility study for a convention centre in Toronto from 1972-1973. The office identified the project number as 7228. This project consisted of a study to evaluate the feasibility of various downtown sites to build a convention centre, particularly sites close to the CN Tower and Union Station. The project also included the design of the convention centre, establishing realistic project costs and testing the building criteria with governments and committees. The debate on whether the convention centre should be constructed lasted throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. Parkin Architects Planners also investigated specific sites and refined the design in the late 1970s, under a different project number (see project series AP018.S1.1978.PR05 described in this fonds), and the project was later referred to as the Ontario Congress and Trade Centre. It should be noted that Congress Centre and Convention Centre are used interchangeably in the materials. Eventually, the building contract was given to another architectural firm and today is known as the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation boards and textual records dating from around 1972-1977. The drawings consist of plans, elevations, sections, diagrams and sketches, while the textual records include press clippings, project notes, correspondence, the feasibility report, conference reports, and the project proposal. The presentation boards consist of photographs of the project model, site investigation plans, and a painting of the project by Dawson.
