AP018.S1.1982.PR07
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Hamilton Trade Centre and Arena in Hamilton, Ontario from 1982-1985. The office identified the project number as 8207. The project consisted of a 60,000 square foot exhibition hall and arena, which had a capacity of 18,000. Opening in November 1985, the building was designed to host sports events (primarily hockey) and concerts. The project was reported to have cost $42 million. Along with Parkin Partnership as the architecture firm, John C. Parkin’s engineering company Parkin Engineers Ltd. worked as structural engineers on the project. The building, commissioned by the city of Hamilton, was officially called Copps Coliseum after the former Hamilton mayor, Victor Copps, who pushed for its creation throughout his career. In 2014, the name was changed to FirstOntario Centre. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of construction drawings, research, construction and presentation photographs, and textual records dating from 1982-1987. The textual records show design research, client correspondence, contractor work, specifications, publicity, and financial records. Any original drawings for this project are arranged within the textual records.

Description:
This project series documents the design of the Broadcast Centre Development on Front Street in Toronto in 1989. The office identified the project number as 8910. This project, commissioned by Graywood Developments Ltd., consisted of a mixed-use development located on the property directly east of the new CBC headquarters. This project was also referred to as the CBC/Graywood Development in the documentation and was an entry for a site development competition. The project proposed a mixed low-rise and high-rise tower that would contain a hotel and condominiums. The hotel would comprise the first six floors, creating a base for the tower, which would hold residential properties above the eighth floor recreation centre. A triple-height club lounge was proposed at the 43rd floor, visually separating the lower tower from the penthouses above it. These penthouses would be set back from the levels below with a long, pointed tower extending above them to complete the top of the building. This project was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings, a model and photographs of the model dating from 1988-1989. The drawings consist of site surveys, sketches, elevations, sections, plans, perspectives, axonometric drawings and presentation drawings

Projet
AP018.S1.1976.PR23
Description:
This project series documents the design of the new National Gallery of Canada for a limited architectural competition in Ottawa, Ontario in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7630. This project consisted of designing a new gallery to house Canada's most prized artworks and artefacts in a competition run by Public Works Canada on behalf of National Museums of Canada. The building site was down the street from Canada's parliament buildings, with views of the Ottawa River and across to Quebec. The design submitted by Parkin Architects Planners was highly modular, with cubes turned on an angle making up the majority of the building. The six-storey building design had three floors of galleries, while other levels were to be used for staff, services, and storage. A panel of international architects and representatives anonymously chose Parkin's design as the winner of the competition in early 1977. However, after cited lack of funds, and controversies over the chosen site and the way in which the competition was run, the newly formed Canada Museums Construction Company sought another design and architect for the new National Gallery. The dispute over this decision is recorded in materials from this project series and related project series. Eventually, Parkin did participate in the construction of the National Gallery's final design, but as the minor partner in a joint venture with Moshe Safdie (see materials in project series AP018.S1.1983.PR02 in this fonds for more information). The project is recorded through drawings, including presentation boards, photographs, and textual records dating from 1974-1985. The drawings are a mix of original design drawings and site drawings. The site drawings were prepared for the competitors by Public Works Canada and the National Capital Commission. The drawings prepared by these government agencies are bilingual. The textual records primarily consist of guidelines, specifications, and other information from Public Works Canada to the competitors. The textual documentation also includes financial records and correspondence on the controversy surrounding the competition.
