Project
AP018.S1.1953.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the residence of John C. Parkin and his family in North York, Ontario from 1953-1955. The office identified the project number as 5301. This project consisted of the architect's own family home for himself, his wife, and their children at 75 The Bridle Path. The one-storey bungalow, faced in white brick, became an acclaimed symbol of a modernist dwelling in North America. The house has since been demolished. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1948-1957. The drawings include sketches of furniture designed by Parkin, as well as floor plans, sections, details, elevations and construction drawings. The textual records include tender documentation, estimates and building restrictions.

AP056.S1.1992.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the federal women's prison in Kitchener, Ontario, now called The Grand Valley Institution for Women, from 1992-1994. The office identified the project number as 9227. This project, built for Public Works Canada and Correctional Services Canada, consisted of a large, main prison building with nine small cottages lining the property. The main building included the admission and discharge area, food services, recreation spaces and spirituality centre, as well as an area for prisoners requiring enhanced security. The spirituality room was a window-rimmed rotunda that pierced the slanted roof of the main stucco building. The smaller cottages were wood-sided with aluminum windows and could house eight people. While many were built to house eight prisoners, some designs replaced prisoner's rooms with children's bedrooms for inmates who had children staying with them. There was also a large, green space in the centre of all the buildings, with plans to build a baseball diamond, daycare building and an additional cottage in the future. The project is recorded through drawings dating from1992-1995. The drawings and mostly originals and include site surveys, sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings.

Project
AP148.S1.1968.PR03
Description:
The project series consists of design work for an unidentified furniture design competition. Material in this project series was originally housed in a folder marked "Concorso Mobili anno 1968", and Poli mentions in his inventory that the project was in collaboration with Roberto Gherardi. The material in this series consists of drawings of a wide clock cabinet, each identified with the note "Motto autunno" (autumn theme). A similar theme is echoed in the caption of one of the photomontages: "Un mobile per tutte le stagioni" (furniture for all seasons). The photomontages feature this cabinet and other elements, such as a table, with photographic portraits of women and children. In his inventory, Poli notes that the photographs are of presentation panels, which were not received with the fonds. A number of items in this series are signed by Poli.
