Project
AP018.S1.1973.PR12
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto from 1973-1975. The office identified the project number as 7312. This project consisted of a 97,000 square foot office building and press plant at 333 King Street East, spanning to Front, Ontario, and Berkley Streets. The design included spaces for administrative, editorial and publishing offices as well as a press hall, platemaking area, photo studio, mail room, roll storage and composing area. The printing and publishing side of the structure was designed to accomodate for further expansion, which occurred in the decade following its original construction. The total cost of the project was $3.7 million. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, textual records, and a project painting dating from 1972-1976. The drawings consist largely of reprographic copies of floor plans, elevations, landscaping, details and site plans, but some sketches are included. There are also presentation boards of floor plans and the design and construction schedule. The photographs show printing presses and press buildings. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, consultancy records, specifications, site reports, building and zoning records, financial records, tender documents, change orders, contract data, deficiency lists and supplementary instructions. Box AP018.S1.1973.PR12.007 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Project
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.

Project
AP018.S1.1958.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of Toronto City Hall and Civic Square in Toronto from 1958-1965. The office identified the project number as 5867. The design of Toronto's New City Hall, built next to its older counterpart, was realized through an international architectural competition that attracted more than 500 entries from around the world. Eventually, a unanimous jury chose Finnish architect Viljo Revell's design, cementing the age of modernist architecture in Toronto. However, the rules stated that if the winning architect was not part of the Ontario Association of Architects, they were required to partner with a local firm. In this way, John B. Parkin Associates was chosen as the associate architects for this project. The design was comprised of a concrete dome house, which contained the city council chambers, surrounded by two curved office towers, all perched on top of a podium, with a public square to the south, known as Nathan Phillips Square. The buildings were 816,000 square feet in size, the west tower having 18 office floors and the east tower with 25. The project is recorded through drawings, a mounted presentation photograph of the project and textual records dating from 1958-1966. The drawings are mostly reprographic copies, which include plans, elevations, sections, details and perspectives. The textual records consist of a competition synopsis book, a book of submission materials for the competition, and correspondence between Parkin and Revell.
