How are computational optics operating in and through the built environment? How have they become so ubiquitous and taken for granted, completing the desires of fulfillment centres and the legibility that computation craves? What computational logics, imaginaries, and frameworks lie outside of their dominant modes of perception and commoditization? Join us on Thursday 17(...)

Project
AP018.S1.1972.PR17
Description:
This project series documents a proposal for a People Mover System for the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo in 1972. The office identified the project number as 7224. The project was a transportation system for the zoo, which required a guideway be built without disrupting the zoo's terrain as well as ensuring that the fences were out of passenger view. Parkin Architects Planners' worked with the engineering firm M.M. Dillion Limited and were in conversation with Boeing to build the vehicle for the system. The project is recorded through several topographic drawings showing the proposed design for the tracks, also included is a file of correspondence, mostly with M.M. Dillion Limited and Boeing, as well a file of notes and photocopies of drawings for the passenger vehicle. A letter in the correspondance file suggests that Parkin Architects Planners where not choosen to build this project.
