Description:
This project series documents House IV, an unexecuted project designed for unknown clients in Falls Village, Connecticut. Materials in this file were produced in 1970 and 1971. Documents include fifty-eight conceptual drawings (files: DR1994:0132:001-058) and presentation plans that show the internal organization of the house. Although never realized, House IV was extensively published, particularly as a series of axonometrics showing the transformations of the original cube. Some of the files documenting this are a set of axonometric drawings (DR1994:0132:120-184) and copies mounted on board (DR1994:0132:185-198). Other files, including files of photographic materials, document the layout of these drawings for publication. Also included are studies for exterior and interior elevations and silhouettes painted on mylar (DR1994:0132:214-230). Conceptual drawings and design development drawings include plans, elevations, and axonometrics. Presentation/publication drawings also include plans, elevations, sections, and axonometrics. Also included in this project series is a completed model.

Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for a multiple use building in Birmingham, England, for Shantasea Limited. Cedric Price resigned as the architect for the project and took on the role of architect for Birmingham and Midland Institute (BMI), one of the proposed tenants for the Shantasea project. The multi-functional centre was to include a theatre, TV studios, an audio-visual exhibition area, retail stores, offices, a meeting hall, a gallery, a seminar area, a library, and parking within an approx. 3,500,000 square-foot area. Drawings include sections showing preliminary circulation patterns, and design development drawings for seven alternate schemes, each with different total square footage. Volumetric studies compare functions and areas for each design. Diagrammatic plans and sections explore vertical and horizontal circulation patterns, alternate layouts for parking, and the relationship between areas of the building for BMI and those shared by BMI and other tenants. Material in this file was produced between 1967 and 1970. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, and textual records.

Description:
This project series documents terminal 2 at Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1967-1972. The office identified the project number as 67121. This project consisted of the first stage of phase two of the building's construction. The three-storey terminal had a linear design with 31 gates and was commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services. Terminal One, known as Aeroquay One and also designed by John B. Parkin Associates, could no longer accommodate the growing number of passengers and the wingspan of larger jets. This terminal was constructed to meet the new needs of the airport. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970-1971, which include construction plans, elevations, details, and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings. 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.
