Project
AP206.S1.1982.PR06
Description:
This project series documents a meditation and yoga kendra complex for Yog Sadhna Samiti in the Saket area of Meerut, India from 1982-1983. The project consisted of a U-shaped building with a round meditation hall located between the arms of the U. An outdoor veranda ran through the floor plan, connecting four different volumes. One volume was the meditation hall, another was a stage and large hall, and the other two contained rooms such as a doctor's office, bathtubs, well-being facilities and a library. There are multiple schemes in this project that show different room configurations and uses, but all of which follow a similar exterior envelope. This project is recorded through plans, elevations, sections and a perspective dating from 1982-1983.

Description:
This project series documents terminal 2 at Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1967-1972. The office identified the project number as 67150. This project consisted of the second stage of phase two of the building's construction. The three-storey terminal had a linear design with 31 gates and was commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services. Terminal One, known as Aeroquay One and also designed by John B. Parkin Associates, could no longer accommodate the growing number of passengers and the wingspan of larger jets. This terminal was constructed to meet the new needs of the airport. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970, which include a set of plans, sections, details and elevations.

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.
