Series
AP177.S2
Description:
This series contains additional CAD and 3D modeling work made by David Ruy for RUR Architecture in order to achieve the design of architectural elements of the Kansai-kan National Diet Library competition. Files are identified as parts or elements of the building such as “upper slab”, “pig” (term used for the theater), “topo[graphical] lines”, “spiral” (a part of the store), “diagram”, “catwalks”, “ramps”, etc. File names are similar to the ones found in AP177.S1, which could indicate that the files represent different versions of the digital drawings. Under the directory FINAL PLANS, file names suggest digital drawings presenting more substantial parts of the building such as “conference level”, “plan”, and “hanging volume”. Files were created using form*Z and Alias and were saved in FMZ, DXF and OBJ formats. Series also includes, in the “scans” directory, digitized images, in JPEG format, of manual drawings of the upper and lower slab with topographical lines, the spiral and the placing of support points.

Project
AP018.S1.1976.PR14
Description:
This project series documents alterations and renovations to the Etobicoke General Hospital in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1976-1977. The office identified the project number as 7619. Along with his firm, John C. Parkin began the design and construction of the Etobicoke General Hospital in 1966. Following this date, he completed numerous additional projects for the site. This project documents a second round of alterations and renovations done to the hospital after its initial construction. The first round of alterations commenced in 1975 under a different project number (see project series AP018.S1.1975.PR11). A large part of the alterations were proposed to improve traffic flow in the emergency department. Renovations were proposed to unassigned areas of the hospital in order to centralize clerical functions and increase the waiting room size. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1977. The drawings consist of floor plans while textual records include the project programme report, conference reports and an area utilization study.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the physical training facilities at the Canadian Coast Guard College in Sydney, Nova Scotia from 1981-1985. The office identified the project number as 8101. This project consisted of two, two-storey buildings, one with a gymnasium and the other with a swimming pool, connected to one another by change rooms. Another small building connected to these contained a classroom, squash court, first aid, weight training room and instructor's office. This project also included an outdoor sports field, car park and site work. The building was commissioned by Public Works Canada, a federal agency. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1981-1985. The drawings consist of plans, elevations, sections, and construction drawings for the building, as well as site plans for the exterior aspects of the project. The textual records include project notes, correspondence, construction documentation, contract and technical data, tender documents, conference, meeting and design reports, and the project proposal.

AP018.S1.1972.PR18
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of a library and an addition to city hall in Fredericton, New Brunswick from 1972-1975. The office identified the project number as 7226. This project consisted of two distinct parts; a public library constructed at the corners of Campbell and Carleton Streets, and an addition to city hall whose original building was constructed at the corners of Queen and York Streets around 1875. These two buildings were located two blocks from one another, but a master plan for the project shows that the separating streets would be removed in favour of a pedestrian friendly landscape. Both buildings were located next to the St. John River. For this project, Parkin Architects Planners partnered with architectural firm Graham Napier Associates to form the joint venture referred to as Graham Parkin Architects Engineers Planners. The brick-clad addition to city hall nearly doubled the square footage of the ground and first floors. The original city hall was four levels and the addition was two, with a mechanical penthouse on top. The new areas included departmental offices such as planning, engineering and sewage, a drafting room, conference room, and reception, among others. The library consisted of a two-storey, brick-clad building that was approximately 24,000 square feet in size with a 16 car parking lot. The ground floor included reception and exhibit areas, stacks, administration offices, bookmobiles, and staff lockers, while the second level had stacks and reading areas, audiovisual areas and a staff work room and break room. The library also had a mechanical penthouse on top. The project is recorded through drawings, including mounted presentation boards, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1972-1978. The drawings consist of original sketches, plans, sections, elevations and details of both city hall and the library, and some drawings used for construction. There are also drawings of the original city hall, first drafted around 1875. The photographs show existing buildings and the construction progress of the project. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, specifications, consultancy documentation, a soil investigation, research and drawing transmittal records. File AP018.S1.1972.PR18.020 contains an index to the textual materials, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents additions and alterations made to the offices of law firm Davies, Ward and Beck on the 47th floor of Commerce Court in Toronto from 1979-1981. The office identified the project number as 7912. This project consisted of a new coffee room, changes to doors, revisions of power and telephone outlets, and revisions of the air exhaust system in the conference room, among others. This project is also referred to as Expansion to 48th Floor in the documentation, although the revisions mentioned were largely implemented on the 47th floor. It is likely that the expansion to the 48th floor planning began under this project number but was fully realized under a future project number (project series AP018.S1.1981.PR04 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1979-1983. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of as built and construction drawings that are arranged within the textual documentation. The textual records include correspondence and meeting minutes with contractors, financial records, change orders, supplementary instructions and mechanical specifications.

Description:
This project series documents a feasibility study for the new National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario from 1980-1982. The office identified the project number as 8011. In 1977, Parkin Architects Planners won a limited architectural competition for their design of the new National Gallery of Canada. The selected site for the competition, next to the Ottawa River, was controversial due to its uneven ground and lack of access to main streets in Ottawa. This project consisted of a feasibility study to use the existing Memorial Buildings in Ottawa as the site of the new National Gallery of Canada. These buildings, originally built in 1954 as federal offices, were between 4-6 storeys with 70,000 square feet of space, excluding parking levels. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1980-1982. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of building sections, floor plans and area calculations. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, financial records and the feasibility report and design scheme documentation.
