Blackpool Project
Reference number:
AP144.S2.D81
Description:
File documents the completed project for a restaurant at the Blackpool Zoo Park in Blackpool, England, for client J. Lyons & Co. Ltd. Initially the brief also called for the erection of five pre-fabricated Wimpy kiosks, of which at least one and possibly two kiosks were erected. The restaurant building is a square, clear-span, steel-frame building with its own kitchen and store rooms, and includes a cafeteria, a full service restaurant and bar, and offices. The restaurant dining room can be converted from one large space into two by means of a curtain on a track, removable barrier rails, and mobile cash and cutlery units. The exterior is timber-clad with tinted glazing. Existing conditions drawings show the existing site layout, landscaping plans and plans showing water supply and electrical services. Design development drawings and working drawings include preliminary interior perspectives, site plans, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, utility plans, sections, elevations, axonometric views of interior, roof trusses, and structural system, construction details, and progress charts. Two sets of drawings that include plans, sections, and elevations, were possibly used for presentation purposes. Construction details are drawn on letter-size paper and show details for curtain tracks, exterior walls, and windows. A project schedule listing the remaining work is dated October 29, 1973. Consultant's drawings for catering, structural, mechanical, and electrical services are also included in the file. Over 300 detail drawings on letter-size paper are included in the textual records. Cedric Price visited the restaurant in 1988. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 81. Some reference drawings are attributed to H. Carpenter, Engineer, County Borough of Blackpool, and to Building Design Partnership. Versa-Serve Ltd Catering Consultants, Briggs Amasco, Crittall-Hope, Archbell Greenwood Ltd Structural Engineers, Hall & Kay Limited, Campbell & Isherwood Ltd Electrical Engineers appear as consultants in this project. Bovis: Fee Construction Limited appears as the general contractor for this project. File contains design development drawings, presentation drawings, reference drawings, technical drawings, working drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

Reference number:
AP018.S1.1974.PR25
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Royal Ottawa Regional Rehabilitation Centre in Ottawa, Ontario from 1974-1981. The office identified the project number as 7432. The Ottawa Heath Sciences Complex, a vast hospital network encompassing institutions across the city, hired Parkin Architects Planners in 1971 to design and construct University of Ottawa buildings within the network. These campus buildings were located in the Alta Vista neighbourhood and referred to as the Health Sciences Centre. This project consists of one building in that complex, the Royal Ottawa Regional Rehabilitation Centre. The distinction between these names should be noted when viewing the materials. The two-storey rehabilitation centre was constructed directly beside the Ottawa Health Sciences Building, another hospital in the network built by Parkin (see project series AP018.S1.1974.PR01 in this fonds). The proposal conceived a 145,000 square foot hospital with 77 in-patient beds. The design included space for patient accommodation, teaching, research, administrative activities, patient care and treatment, and a concession area. Patients at the hospital would range from those with severe brain injuries, to amputees, to those with rheumatic diseases. The building was carefully designed to accommodate the specialized needs of the patients. The hospital design also included a swimming pool, sports areas, and spaces for other leisure activities thought to aid in the rehabilitation process. The project is recorded through construction photographs, drawings, and textual materials dating from 1971-1983. The textual records include correspondence, specifications, schedules, contract data, conference reports and minutes, inspection reports, predesign notes, consultancy records, financial documents, change orders, supplementary instructions, research, and deficiency lists. The majority of these textual records deal with the hospital's construction, rather than design. Most drawings are reprographic copies of detail drawings and can be found within the textual records. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR25.002 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the design of the new National Gallery of Canada for a limited architectural competition in Ottawa, Ontario in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7630. This project consisted of designing a new gallery to house Canada's most prized artworks and artefacts in a competition run by Public Works Canada on behalf of National Museums of Canada. The building site was down the street from Canada's parliament buildings, with views of the Ottawa River and across to Quebec. The design submitted by Parkin Architects Planners was highly modular, with cubes turned on an angle making up the majority of the building. The six-storey building design had three floors of galleries, while other levels were to be used for staff, services, and storage. A panel of international architects and representatives anonymously chose Parkin's design as the winner of the competition in early 1977. However, after cited lack of funds, and controversies over the chosen site and the way in which the competition was run, the newly formed Canada Museums Construction Company sought another design and architect for the new National Gallery. The dispute over this decision is recorded in materials from this project series and related project series. Eventually, Parkin did participate in the construction of the National Gallery's final design, but as the minor partner in a joint venture with Moshe Safdie (see materials in project series AP018.S1.1983.PR02 in this fonds for more information). The project is recorded through drawings, including presentation boards, photographs, and textual records dating from 1974-1985. The drawings are a mix of original design drawings and site drawings. The site drawings were prepared for the competitors by Public Works Canada and the National Capital Commission. The drawings prepared by these government agencies are bilingual. The textual records primarily consist of guidelines, specifications, and other information from Public Works Canada to the competitors. The textual documentation also includes financial records and correspondence on the controversy surrounding the competition.

However, after cited lack of funds, and controversies over the chosen site and the way in which the competition was run, the newly formed Canada Museums Construction Company sought another design and architect for the new National Gallery. The dispute over this decision is recorded in materials from this project series and related project series. Eventually, Parkin did participate in the construction of the National Gallery's final design, but as the minor partner in a joint venture with Moshe Safdie (see materials in project series AP018.S1.1983.PR02 in this fonds for more information). The project is recorded through drawings, including presentation boards, photographs, and textual records dating from 1974-1985. The drawings are a mix of original design drawings and site drawings. The site drawings were prepared for the competitors by Public Works Canada and the National Capital Commission. The drawings prepared by these government agencies are bilingual. The textual records primarily consist of guidelines, specifications, and other information from Public Works Canada to the competitors. The textual documentation also includes financial records and correspondence on the controversy surrounding the competition.

Description:
This project series documents the Renovação e extensão do Museu Stedelijk in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 57/90. The office assigned the date 1995 to this project. At the beginning of the nineties, Rem Koolhaas, Wim Quist, Carel Weeber, and Robert Venturi were invited to propose a design for the extension and renovations of the Stedelijk Museum. Robert Venturi was the architect selected, but the project was suspended in 1993 due to the infeasibility of the program and budget restrictions. The following year, five applicants, including Siza, were asked to present a new design to a committee. In December 1995, Siza was officially announced as the new design architect for the project by the city of Amsterdam. The firm A+D+P was selected as the executive architect. Siza's first proposal was presented in 1998. His master plan included the demolition of the Marmottenhuis, the renovation of the 19th-century patios, and the relocation of the public toilets to the basement in order to create exhibition halls. The master plan also included the construction of three new wings and two underground passages to connect the newer and older buildings. A new wing, located to one side of Sandbergplein, included offices in the basement and on the ground floor as well as exhibition halls on the first floor. A new building surrounding the museum garden included storage space in the basement, a restaurant on the ground floor, and exhibition halls at the first floor. Construction work was projected to start in June 2000, however due to budget restrictions the project was not realized and a new competition was held in 2004. The firm Benthem Crouwel Architects realized the project. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, preliminary drawings, plans, and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models and project site.

Description:
The project series documents the Punt en Komma social housing project in The Hague, The Netherlands, with some materials related to the Urban plan for Deelgebied Zone 5, Schilderswijk-West. While the records were held in the office’s archives the urban plan for Deelgebied Zone 5 was assigned the number 30/80 and Punt en Komma was assigned the number 30/80 A/B (Punt (A) and Komma (B)). The office assigned the date 1984 for this project. In the mid to late1970s The Hague underwent an urban renewal program and in 1980 Adri Duivesteijn became the alderman responsible for this program. Dissatisfied with the results, in the early to mid-1980s Duivesteijn began a campaign to look at urban renewal as a cultural approach, and was interested in the participatory process that Siza incorporated for the Serviço Ambulatório de Apoio Local (SAAL) in Portugal and the Berlin projects submitted to the International Architectural Exhibition Berlin competition (International Bauaustellung, IBA, circa 1979-1987). After taking a trip to Portugal, Duivesteijn invited Siza to speak with residents of Schilderswijk. The urban plan for Schilderswijk was the first part of a redevelopment plan for the 19th century district and included two four story blocks of 106 apartments, named Punt en Komma. Schilderswijk is in the centre of The Hague and is nearby the Haag Spoor train station. The residents are made up of multi-ethnic communities and included immigrants from Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, and Portugal. Similarly to the Berlin projects, Siza was faced with cultural tensions between the residents of the area. The urban plan was to take into account the preservation of the neighborhood's identity while accounting for the changes brought on by multi-ethnic communities. As with the SAAL and Berlin projects there was an element of participation from the residents and included the collaboration of a residents association. In the “Plan of Zone 5 of Schilderswijk Centrum…”, found in this project series [AP178.S1.1984.PR02.024.1, AP178.S1.1984.PR02.024.2], it is outlined that meetings were periodically held with technicians appointed by the Department of Urban Planning and Housing of The Hague, the Housing Cooperative, and each of the designers. Siza’s design for Punt en Komma incorporated elements prevalent in Dutch architecture such as the Haagse Portiek. However, he also included components in his design which accounted for the needs of residents living there at the time. One feature which gained much attention was the incorporation of sliding doors in the apartments. Siza included these doors in his design in consideration of the cultural practices of Muslim families. Documenting this project series are drawings, photographic materials, and textual documentation. Among the drawings are plans, elevations, sections, and details, as well as axonometric drawings, such as the proposed design for Deelgebied zone 5 (including Punt en Komma) and drawings of the Haagse Porteik. Photographic materials document both Duivesteijn’s trip to Portugal and Siza’s first trip to The Hague and include photographs, negatives, and slides of the built project, as well as slides of drawings. Note that the photographic materials include photographs related to the housing and shopping complex in Schilderswijk. Textual documentation includes brochures regarding rent increases, a copy of “Stadsvernieuwing als Kulturele Aktiviteit” by Duivesteijn, and information booklets for the residents. Also included are minutes of meeting and correspondence from the Woningbouwvereniging’s-Gravenhage. Among the correspondence are letters regarding construction costs, including a letter from Siza to the local architectural firm Architectengemeenschap Van den Broek en Bakema explaining that he does not wish to modify the detail he specified for the lintels of the Punt building. There is also correspondence from project architect Carlos Castenheira and Duivesteijn and a summary of the meeting between Siza and the Committee of the Corporation for Social Housing (17 April, 1985)[AP178.S1.1984.PR02.025.1] It is important to note that Siza also participated in other projects for this urban renewal program: the housing and shopping complex in Schilderswijk [AP178.S1.1984.PR03], the Van der Vennepark [AP178.S1.1985.PR01], and the residential settlement in Schilderswijk (Plano de Doedijnstraat [AP178.S1.1989.PR03]). All three of these projects are arranged in separate project series.

Description:
The project series documents the Punt en Komma social housing project in The Hague, The Netherlands, with some materials related to the Urban plan for Deelgebied Zone 5, Schilderswijk-West. While the records were held in the office’s archives the urban plan for Deelgebied Zone 5 was assigned the number 30/80 and Punt en Komma was assigned the number 30/80 A/B (Punt (A) and Komma (B)). The office assigned the date 1984 for this project. In the mid to late1970s The Hague underwent an urban renewal program and in 1980 Adri Duivesteijn became the alderman responsible for this program.

File documents an unexecuted project for a multiple use building in Birmingham, England, for Shantasea Limited. Cedric Price resigned as the architect for the project and took on the role of architect for Birmingham and Midland Institute (BMI), one of the proposed tenants for the Shantasea project. The multi-functional centre was to include a theatre, TV studios, an audio-visual exhibition area, retail stores, offices, a meeting hall, a gallery, a seminar area, a library, and parking within an approx. 3,500,000 square-foot area. Drawings include sections showing preliminary circulation patterns, and design development drawings for seven alternate schemes, each with different total square footage. Volumetric studies compare functions and areas for each design. Diagrammatic plans and sections explore vertical and horizontal circulation patterns, alternate layouts for parking, and the relationship between areas of the building for BMI and those shared by BMI and other tenants. Material in this file was produced between 1967 and 1970. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, and textual records.

The Architectural projects series documents 33 projects that reflect A.D. Thacker's work as an architect. The series primarily consist of drawings depicting structures that Thacker designed after beginning his own practice in 1926 until his death in 1938, but also includes some work from 1913. However, many of the drawings and documentation within the series are not dated. The drawings include elevation, perspective and plan proposals and occasionally occaisionally studies. In addition to the drawings, the series also contains documentation of the drawings - including reprographic copies, photographs, and some textual material. The projects are largely situated in Quebec and include locations such as Hampstead, Westmount, Kanawá:ke, Dundee, Valois, Morin Heights, Chambly, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. *CONTENT WARNING* The united church project in Kanawá:ke (AP004.S1.D4) was associated with the Federal Indian Day School system established by the Canadian government with the aid of various religious organizations. See the project series for additional information. Please take care in consulting these records and seek help when needed.
