Project
AP018.S1.1958.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the control tower at the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga from 1958-1964. The office identified the project number as 5872. This project consisted of a 100 foot high control tower built onto a single storey building totalling 30,600 square feet in size. The reinforced concrete tower was hexagonal in shape with a steel frame and reinforced concrete slab floor. A transparent skydome forms the ceiling of the central lobby, providing a view of the floor and supporting shafts of the tower. This project won a Silver Massey Medal for Architecture in 1964 and recognition from Canadian Architect magazine and the Beautify Toronto Campaign for its significance. The project is recorded through a presentation board of a photo of the skydome dating from around 1964.

AP144.S2.D138
Description:
File documents a project for designs for 3 mobile market stalls developed for Westminster City Council, to be tested in Berwick Street and Tachbrook Street Markets, London, England. One design was for a fruit and vegetable trolley, one for a clothes stand, and one for a newspaper, magazine and knick-nacks kiosk. Prototypes of the stalls were built by the firm Slingsby for inclusion in their catalogue. The project also included proposals for the planning and layout of stalls in the markets. Eleven photographs of the prototypes and other stalls on Tachbrook street (DR2004:914) were mislabelled by Price's office with the Strate project (AP144.S2.D183). Material in this file was produced between 1982 and 1996, but predominantly between 1986 and 1990. File contains design development drawings, working drawings, presentation panels, models, an artefact, photographic materials, and textual records.
