Project
AP056.S1.1988.PR01
Description:
This project series documents an expansion of the Marc Laurent store at 110 Bloor Street West in Toronto in 1988. The office identified the project number as 18732. This project consisted of the westward expansion of the high-end retail store. The original design of the store was completed prior to the founding of KPMB, by Bruce Kuwabara and Thomas Payne in 1986. Connected by stairs, the original store was located at the street level, whereas this new space was located on a lower concourse level. The rack system that ran the perimeter of the store was continued in the extension and a new cash counter was added. This project also included the design of new display furnishings for the store. The project is recorded through original drawings and photographs dating from 1987 to around 1989. The drawings consist of sketches, plans, sections, axonometric drawings, elevations, details, and electrical drawings. Many of these drawings are for the store's furnishings and architectural elements such as stairs and walls. The photographs show the finished interiors.

AP207.S1.1978.PR02
Description:
The project series documents "Complimenti D'Architettura", an installation for the Biennale di Venezia at the Magazzini del Sale in 1978. The installation consists of a stone wall that showcases the different types of stone used as construction material over time, begining with uncut natural stone and ending with cut polished stone. "It is a symbolic history of architecture [...]: all the intermediate phases, from the collection of scattered pieces of rock, piled up to make a heap, to the hewn and polished stone, its surface as shiny as a mirror." [1] The installation was also presented at the exhibition "La fine del mondo" at the Centro Pecci per l'Arte Contemporanea in Prato, in 2016. The project series contains photographs of the first edition of the installation at the Biennale di Venezia, and installation sketches. It also contains two photographs of the second edition at the Centro Pecci per l'Arte Contemporanea.
