Projet
AP018.S1.1972.PR02
Description:
This project series documents a feasibility study for a convention centre in Toronto from 1972-1973. The office identified the project number as 7228. This project consisted of a study to evaluate the feasibility of various downtown sites to build a convention centre, particularly sites close to the CN Tower and Union Station. The project also included the design of the convention centre, establishing realistic project costs and testing the building criteria with governments and committees. The debate on whether the convention centre should be constructed lasted throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. Parkin Architects Planners also investigated specific sites and refined the design in the late 1970s, under a different project number (see project series AP018.S1.1978.PR05 described in this fonds), and the project was later referred to as the Ontario Congress and Trade Centre. It should be noted that Congress Centre and Convention Centre are used interchangeably in the materials. Eventually, the building contract was given to another architectural firm and today is known as the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation boards and textual records dating from around 1972-1977. The drawings consist of plans, elevations, sections, diagrams and sketches, while the textual records include press clippings, project notes, correspondence, the feasibility report, conference reports, and the project proposal. The presentation boards consist of photographs of the project model, site investigation plans, and a painting of the project by Dawson.

AP018.S1.1976.PR19
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and planning for additional projects in North York, Ontario from 1976-1983. The office identified the project number as 7626. The project consisted of a ten storey office building located at 1500 Don Mills Road with approximately 250,000 square feet of space. Owned and commissioned by Marathon Realty, the majority of the building's space was designed for rental. The ground floor of the building was to host retail spaces and a connection to local transit. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I was the construction of this office building and Phase II was the construction of an additional office building and a parking structure on the same property. Under this project number, only Phase I was realized, with the additional buildings receiving their own project numbers from the office later on. The project is recorded through drawings, construction progress photographs, textual records and a mounted work of art dating from 1974-1983. The textual records include correspondence, site reports, tests and inspections, meeting minutes and reports, specifications, tenders documents, detail planning records, change orders, supplementary instructions and financial records. Also included is an article written by John C. Parkin for Canadian Architect on the development of the property, which previously hosted his own offices until their demolition before the start of this project (see box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025). Box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

AP056.S1.1990.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the Joseph Stauffer Library at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario from 1990-1994. The office identified the project number as 9011. This project was the winning entry of a national design competition and was completed with Thomas Payne at its head and with the firm Moffat Kinoshita Associates acting as consulting architects. Located at the corner of Alfred and University Streets, the project consisted of a new 200,000 square foot library for the campus. Influenced by the surrounding gothic collegiate buildings, the library's exteriors focused on vertical, upward movement and had rich textures created by limestone, copper flashing and wood window frames and entrance screens. The library's main entrance at the Union Street and University Street corner was a rotunda that featured a fireplace-lined reading room on the second floor. Other reading rooms and a café lined the building's exterior, while the main library stacks were housed in the core of the building. Wood panelling was disbursed amongst the walls to add warmth to the buildings interior. This project also included plans to expand the library in the following decades. This project received a Governor General's Award in Architecture in 1997. This project is recorded through drawings, photographs, presentation paintings and textual records dating from 1990-1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings. The photographs show the finished building, while the textual records consist of publicity on the building and the program description.

Description:
- This group of drawings and prints for Château de Marcoussis (designed by Charles Rohault de Fleury in 1862-1863), and for later additions to the château by Rohault de Fleury and other architects, is composed mostly of design development and presentation drawings and transfer lithographs - mainly plans and elevations. Three wash drawings and 13 transfer lithographs, some coloured with wash, are for the château as constructed and are mostly dated June 1863 (drawings: DR1986:0380, DR1986:0382, DR1986:0383; transfer lithographs: DR1986:0387 - DR1986:0389, DR1986:0397 - DR1986:0407). Drawings for two unexecuted designs for the château are included: the first is dated 3 May 1862, and possibly 23 May 1862 (DR1986:0379, DR1986:0393, DR1986:394), and the second 15 May 1862 (DR1986:0395 and DR1986:0396). Three untitled drawings may also be designs for Château Marcoussis, although the inscription "1er projet" in conjunction with the later date of April 1863, suggests that they are perhaps for a different unidentified project (DR1986:0390 - DR1986:0392). A proposal for a tower addition by Rohault de Fleury is dated 1 April 1864 (DR1986:0381). This tower also appears on a plan of Château Marcoussis by an unknown hand (DR1986:0408). A land survey for part of the château's park is signed and stamped by the landscape architect, L.L. Le Breton, whose stamp also appears on a drainage plan for the château (DR1986:0409 and DR1986:0397 R). Also included are a proposal for a winter garden for Château Marcoussis designed by Geriche (DR1986:0384), an unattributed project for modifications to the winter garden (DR1986:0385), and plans for an unidentified house (DR1986:0412 and DR1986:0413). Folder DR1986:0386 and mounts DR1986:0410 and DR1986:0411 were acquired with this group. All three objects are inscribed with titles, and those on the mounts indicate the existence of two drawings that were not acquired with the group: "Marcoussis / Mr le Mis de la Baume" (DR1986:0410) and "Escalier au tourelle / (projet) / 1900" (DR1986:0411). The inscribed title which figures on the verso of mount DR1986:0410 indicates that it was at one time used as a folder: "Château de Marcoussis / projets d'agrandissement / et de constructions".

Description:
- This group of correspondence, clippings and other documents was compiled by the architect, Lloyd Wright, for his own record while he was pursuing the commission for Boeing Airport, Burbank, Los Angeles County, California. He was not successful in obtaining the commission. The correspondence includes letters to and from Lloyd Wright, drafts for and carbon copies of these same letters, and telegrams to Lloyd Wright. Other documents include three newspaper clippings, an estimate and notes. Of the clippings, one reports on the beginning of work on Boeing Airport, the second announces a new meteorological station for pilots in the San Fernando Valley, and includes details of other aviation industry investments in the area, and the third is another account of the initiation of Boeing Airport. The latter clipping is folded up with a sheet noting the address of Lloyd St. John. Although the estimate is not identified by project name, it was probably prepared for Lloyd Wright's Boeing Airport proposal, which included an airport, manufacturing plant and other amenities, all mentioned in the estimate.
