Description:
This project series document the interior restauration of Toronto Union Station in Toronto from 1984-1985. The office identified the project number as 8401. This project consisted of restoration work to the train station commissioned by VIA Rail Canada Inc. This was referred to as a clean up in the project documentation. Restauration work was done to the interior of the great hall, the screens and the skylights. The project documentation also discussed the possibility of work to the exterior platform to fix the damage caused by diesel fuels. This project was referred to as Package B in the materials, with Package A representing a project for exterior work (see project series AP018.S1.1984.PR03 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1983-1985. The textual records include correspondence, conference and site reports, financial documents, interoffice letters, contract data and construction documentation. The drawings are primarily reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials.

Project
AP178.S1.1995.PR12
Description:
This project series documents the design for the Instituto de Biofísica in Hombroich, Germany. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 69/90. The office assigned the dates 1995-1996 to this project. The project was commissioned by the Insel Hombroich Foundation. Construction started in 1995, but was delayed until 2006. The project site was located on an old military camp and was used by the Foundation as part of a program for architects to build different types of building. The program for the Institute of Biophysics included office spaces, conference rooms, a meditation center, a music center and five guest apartments. Siza's design was kept and used later with a different interior layout for a new Pavilion for the Insel Hombroich Foundation (see project series AP178.S1.2001.PR02 in this fonds). The project was a collaboration with Rudolf Finsterwalder. Documenting this project are studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, correspondence and a development plan.

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.
