Description:
This project series documents long-term planning for airports near Kabul, Afghanistan from 1974-1990. The office identified the project number as 7408. This project consisted of the planning of airports near Kabul for the years 1974-1990. This work was undertaken in joint venture with other Canadian firms who worked together on airport planning projects around the world. The firms, which consisted of Parkin Architects Planners as the architects, the Montreal Engineering Company Limited, and Peat, Marwick and Partners, joined with the local Afghan Bureau of Consulting Architects and Engineers for this project. It was to be funded by the Islamic Bank, with the Canadian government paying the design fees. The proposed airport, referred to as Logar Airport, consisted of a rectangular passenger terminal with each level set back to create the look of a staircase roofline. A 225 car parking lot, an administration building and a tower in the parking lot area were also included. The long-term plan showed a symmetrical addition built onto the passenger building and symmetrical 225 car parking lot to compliment it in the years following the original construction. An airport hotel was also proposed for future additions. A feasibility study for this project investigated Logar as a site for the airport, based on the ability to expand the terminal size for passenger processing and traffic, and the flexibility of the local topography. Planing, deplaning, processing and passenger flows were all investigated in this project, along with phasing and development plans. It is not clear from the project documentation if this project was ever built. The project is recorded through drawings, a photograph, and textual records dating from 1974-1976. The drawings include a large number of base plans with overlays to study planing and deplaning flows, natural lighting, and passenger movements. Plans, sections and presentation drawings are also included. The textual records consist of reports on the project program and costs, interoffice memos, correspondence, and financial records.

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.

AP018.S1.1976.PR23
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.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Health Sciences Complex at Memorial University (MUN) in St. John’s, Newfoundland from 1971-1976. The office identified the project number as 7111. The Health Sciences Complex was built to replace the St. John’s General Hospital. Constructed on MUN’s north campus, the hospital would integrate the university’s medical school to create a teaching hospital. The design included classrooms, labs, and a library for the students. The St. John’s General Hospital and MUN medical school would retain their independence and authority while sharing the space. The proposed design called for a banal building that was always unfinished so that future expansions and changes could be easily accommodated. The project also included the construction of the Utilities Annex building, a separate building to house heating and cooling plants, generators and electrical distribution. Having these facilities in a separate building would allow them to expand the hospital without crucial systems getting in the way. The main expansion envisioned in the scope of this project was the Life Sciences Complex, a university building and hospital connected to the Health Sciences Complex. In the project materials, the project is often referred to as The Health and Life Sciences Complex, although only the Health Sciences Complex was constructed under this project number. The original budget for the project was $60 million, a figure which included the Life Sciences Complex. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, boards of material samples, a painting and textual records dating from 1971-1978. The textual records include correspondence with the client and consultants, meeting minutes and reports, consultancy records, a systems report, food facilities planning records, outline specifications, product catalogues for hospital equipment, research, project proposals, financial documentation and schedules. All of the drawings issued for tender are arranged within the textual materials. There are also two presentation boards, one of a project painting and the other of a photograph of the site model.

AP178.S1.1984.PR02
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:
Original directory name: "11_Publikation". File consists chiefly of presentations (Powerpoint, PDF and InDesign files), organized by date and topic such as the double cone, the interior design, the restaurants, the lighting, etc. Often, drawings or images used in the presentations are kept within the same directory. In some instances Adobe InDesign files might have dependencies on those drawings and images, so duplicates were not removed. Presentations seemed to have served various purposes such as showing design proposals or the construction’s progress. Some system files, true type font and photographs predate the BMW Welt project. File notably contains the film commissioned by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU to Imaginary Forces in order to show BMW the magnitude of the project of BMW Welt. A six meter long model was created for this purpose. The film was shown to the client on a 8 x 10 meter screen. Film is in directory "o_Präsentation\050407_INNENAUSBAU" and there are also preliminary and alternate versions in other directories in this file. Most common file formats: JPEG File Interchange Format, Acrobat PDF 1.4 - Portable Document Format, Adobe Illustrator, Encapsulated PostScript File Format, Acrobat PDF 1.5 - Portable Document Format
