Description:
The project series documents the 1979 design entry for the Görlitzer Bad swimming pool. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 48/70; in the past the office identified the project as number 159. The office assigned the date 1979 for this project. This project was submitted to the International Architectural Exhibition Berlin competition (International Bauaustellung, IBA, circa 1979-1987), an urban renewal strategy for West Berlin, Germany. Siza would later submit proposals to the IBA for Block 70 and 89 (Fränkelufer residential complex), Block 121 (Bonjour Tristesse), Block 11-12 (Kottbusser Damm), Monument to Gestapo victims Prinz- Albrecht-Palais, and a proposal for the Kulturforum. The Görlitzer Bad swimming pool was Siza's first international project and first competition. Preceding the IBA competition, Siza attended the 1976 International Design Zentrum (IDZ) symposium in Berlin, "Stadtstruktur-Stadtgestalt". Brigitte Fleck, responsible for national and international architecture competitions for the Senate of Berlin (1971-1985), invited Siza to participate in the IBA competition to design the swimming pool for Kreuzberg. Fleck had heard of Siza’s participation in the IDZ symposium and became interested in Siza’s work with the Servicio Ambulatorio de Apio Lokal (SAAL). By this time Siza’s work with SAAL had been published in the December 1976 and March 1978 publications of the Lotus International Quarterly Architectural Review (numbers 13 and 18). Fleck felt that Siza's work with SAAL would be relevant to the IBA. In 1979, Siza entered his design for the Görlitzer Bad swimming pool to be built on a vacant area on the east side of Kreuzberg. The design for the pool was strongly opposed by the public because the dome over the main swimming pool was said to resemble a mosque. This area of Kreuzberg was largely populated by Turkish Muslims and there was hostility towards this immigrant community. Although Siza’s entry went through the first round of the IBA competition, it did not win the competition and was only awarded a special prize. The project series contains sketches and studies, as well as conceptual and design development drawings of elevations, site plans, and floor plans. Documentation for the competition includes site plans for the competition and a strata plan. The photographs, negatives, contact sheets, and slides mostly document the model and drawings for the project.

Description:
This project series documents the Imperial Oil product application and technical services laboratory in Sarnia, Ontario from 1965-1966. The office identified the project number as 6509. This project consisted of a one-storey building that contained process areas, equipment rooms, testing rooms, a shipping area and offices for technicians and engineers. The project was also known as the PVC Applications Laboratory, since its purpose to support marketing of Polyvinyl Chloride. This building, resting on a 102,400 square foot site, was designed with narrow slot type windows to ensure environmental controls could be met within it. It had a steel frame with dark sable brick exteriors and a plastic fascia manufactured by the client. The client's plastics were also used throughout the interiors. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1965-1966. The drawings are mostly reprographic copies of construction plans, elevations, details, schedules, layouts, and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings.

Description:
This project series documents a proposal for a People Mover System for the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo in 1972. The office identified the project number as 7224. The project was a transportation system for the zoo, which required a guideway be built without disrupting the zoo's terrain as well as ensuring that the fences were out of passenger view. Parkin Architects Planners' worked with the engineering firm M.M. Dillion Limited and were in conversation with Boeing to build the vehicle for the system. The project is recorded through several topographic drawings showing the proposed design for the tracks, also included is a file of correspondence, mostly with M.M. Dillion Limited and Boeing, as well a file of notes and photocopies of drawings for the passenger vehicle. A letter in the correspondance file suggests that Parkin Architects Planners where not choosen to build this project.

This project series documents repurposing the Don Jail as a potential site for the Toronto Humane Society, Toronto, Ontario. The office identified the project number as 7815. The project called for a design that would meet the requirements of the Toronto Humane Society but also preserve the Don Jail. The Toronto Humane Society required a shelter area, clinic area, administration area, and parking. The project is recorded mostly through drawings with some textual records and photographic materials dating from 1975-1980. There is significant amount of overlap with the Toronto Humane Society, New Building project (AP018.S1.1974.PR09), specifically with regards to documentation regarding fundraising for the project. The drawings show floor plans, elevations, and sections. Photographic materials include images of the Don Jail. Textual records include project documentation, correspondence, and minutes of meeting.

CI005.S1.1951.PR1
Description:
The Northeast Polder Works for Wieringermeet initiated a contest for the design of a polder tower that would serve as a water tower and act as landmark to the empty polder area. Oud created one design that conformed to the competition guidelines and a second alternative one which he favoured. Project E was created according to the competition rules, while Motto E represented Oud's favoured design. Project E featured a carillon at the midway point of the tower; in Motto E, Oud instead placed the carillon at the top of the tower with the middle section as office space. Ultimately, the board declined all competition entries and assigned H. van Gent to the 1959 tower design (Taverne et al. 2001, 465). Project series includes a perspective drawing for Motto E of the polder tower.

This project series documents the design of the Toronto-Dominion Bank Centre in Toronto in 1962. The office identified the project number as 6266. This project consisted of designs for the now famous modernist building complex, the Toronto-Dominion Centre. The design of the Toronto-Dominion Centre is almost wholly credited to architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Originally, firms John B. Parkin Associates in joint venture with Bregman + Hamann had designed the Centre, but their designs were criticized and eventually van der Rohe was brought on as the design consulting architect for design, while the other firms still acted as primary architects. This project consisted of early designs for the project. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of floor plans, site plans and elevations dating from 1962-1963.
