Description:
This project series documents the Laboratório Showroom Habitação Dimensione Fuoco in San Donà di Piave, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 39/90. The office assigned the date 1993 to this project. The firm Dimensione Fuoco Vetroveneto commissioned Siza to design the extension of a building. The design proposed by Siza was a 3000 square metre triangular building, connecting with the existing structure with a courtyard and a boundary wall. It was intended that the cultural organization Circolo Architteture would occupy the space. The program included spaces for architectural conferences and exhibitions, a library and archives. Siza was also supposed to design a sculpture in the park near the building. It is not clear if the project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and construction work.

AP056.S1.1993.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a new building for the Fields Institute of Research in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Toronto from 1993-1995. The office identified the project number as 9318. This project consisted of a four-storey building, characterized by a rusticated limestone and red-brick exterior, located at 222 College Street. The building's layout consisted of offices, conference rooms, classrooms, resource centres, computer training facilities, a library, and the main lobby and reception. At the core was a grand atrium with a wood-lined helical staircase that ran the height of the building, a stucco fireplace and an elliptical reception desk. Designed to encourage spontaneous thought and interaction, the institute featured slate chalkboards throughout. The roof was comprised of a Douglas fir deck on metal trusses, while the interior finishes included tiles, carpet, wood, metal, stone and concrete.[1] The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, a presentation painting and textual records dating from 1993-1996. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives and axonometric drawings. The photographic materials include images for presentation and research, while the textual records document completion schedules. [1] "Fields Institute Facilities."

AP018.S1.1978.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the design of a US pre-clearance facility at terminal one of the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7805. Since the early 1960s, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, had been commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of the design of an area to accommodate pre-clearance screening to the US, which was located between fingers one and two at terminal one. The area is referred to as a node, and contained washrooms, customs areas, immigration areas, and a duty free that was accessible to international traffic. Many gates at terminal one had to be redesignated to accommodate this new facility. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1978. The drawings are largely reprographic copies of floor plans and site plans, with sections of the original terminal one building included. Some drawings in this project series were created by the architectural firm Searle, Wilbee, Rowland, which was one of the names used for Parkin's firm after the merger of John B. Parkin Associates with Winnipeg-based firm Smith, Carter and Searle. The textual records include conference reports, correspondence and a feasibility report.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto from 1973-1975. The office identified the project number as 7312. This project consisted of a 97,000 square foot office building and press plant at 333 King Street East, spanning to Front, Ontario, and Berkley Streets. The design included spaces for administrative, editorial and publishing offices as well as a press hall, platemaking area, photo studio, mail room, roll storage and composing area. The printing and publishing side of the structure was designed to accomodate for further expansion, which occurred in the decade following its original construction. The total cost of the project was $3.7 million. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, textual records, and a project painting dating from 1972-1976. The drawings consist largely of reprographic copies of floor plans, elevations, landscaping, details and site plans, but some sketches are included. There are also presentation boards of floor plans and the design and construction schedule. The photographs show printing presses and press buildings. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, consultancy records, specifications, site reports, building and zoning records, financial records, tender documents, change orders, contract data, deficiency lists and supplementary instructions. Box AP018.S1.1973.PR12.007 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the Dome Productions offices and studio in Toronto from 1988-1989. The office identified the project number as 8804. This project consisted of a two-level office and studio area inside Toronto's SkyDome for the production company that was owned by The Sports Network (TSN). The main purpose of this space was to broadcast sports live from the stadium, but offices for producing, accounting, and marketing were also included. The two floors followed the curved shape of the stadium and were connected to one another by staircases. Visitors entered via large, glass doors into the reception area on the lower level, where they could move to the main lounge with its curved cappuccino bar, integrated into the main staircase. The lower level also held equipment rooms, fan rooms, editing areas, storage and offices. The upper level included two announcing booths, video editing suites, production spaces and conference rooms. The walls were composed of painted gypsum board but granite touches throughout stayed true to the concrete look of the stadium. Aluminum, steel, wood and sandblasted glass were also featured heavily throughout. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1988-1989. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, details, elevations, sections, axonometric drawings, and structural drawings. The photographs show the finished interiors of the project.
