Project
AP018.S1.1962.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the construction of the Toronto-Dominion Bank Building in Toronto in1962. The office identified the project number as 6280. This project consisted of a 56 storey, black steel skyscraper that came to exemplify the age of modernist architecture in Toronto through the introduction of the International Style to the older cityscape. The design of the Toronto-Dominion Bank Centre is almost wholly credited to architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. However, John B. Parkin Associates, in joint venture with architecture firm Bregman + Hamann, were the primary architects on the project, with van der Rohe acting as consulting architect. During this era, the Toronto-Dominion Centre included three buildings - two office towers and a single level banking pavilion which was about two-storeys in height. It appears that this project consisted only of the tallest tower, now known as TD Tower, and that the other buildings were completed under different project numbers assigned by the office. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of construction drawings dating from 1966-1968.

Series
Architectural projects
AP154.S1
Description:
Series AP154.S1, Architectural projects, is chiefly composed of drawings related to architectural projects from the period 1966-2007. Most projects are located in the Northeastern United States, a notable exception being a study for resort development in Negril, Jamaica. The series includes published projects, such as the master plan for a new campus at Wykeham Rise School in Washington, Connecticut, housing projects at Twin Parks in the Bronx, N.Y. and at Little Italy in Manhattan, new and renovated buildings for the State University College at Potsdam, New York, and the George & Annette Murphy Center at Asphalt Green, New York. Small, lesser-known projects are also present, including two renovation projects in Brooklyn and a design for a Manhattan apartment. In general, the projects in this series are documented at a specific phase in their development, often at the stage of working drawings, although some project series are composed of design or presentation drawings. A substantial number of documents in this series are related to the Seagram Building at 375 Park Avenue, New York, N.Y., a landmark skyscraper designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson and completed in 1958. Beginning in 1971, Giovanni Pasanella and his partners were responsible for the interior design and space planning of national and regional administrative and sales offices of Joseph E. Seagram & Sons. The series documents three decades of activities related to the maintenance and renovation of the Seagram Building as well as some renovations for Seagram offices at 800 Third Avenue.
