AP056.S1.1988.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the first scheme and final design of The Design Exchange in Toronto from 1988-1994. The office identified the project numbers as 8801 for the first scheme and 9231 for the final design. Although two project numbers were used, materials for each project cannot be clearly separated. This project consisted of the renovation, restauration and expansion of the old Toronto Stock Exchange building, located at the base of the Ernst Young Tower in the Toronto Dominion Centre. The Design Exchange (D/X) was a new cultural institution, dedicated to the economic and cultural promotion of design in the country through exhibits, lectures, banquets, trade shows and other events. With Shirley Blumberg as the partner-in-charge, the art deco style trading floor was restored as an open event space, with the original Charles Comfort murals retained. In order to create harmony between the art deco building and the neo-modernist renovations, bold, linear architectural elements such as stairs, walls, screens and bridges were reiterated throughout the design. A staircase from the trading floor led to an overlooking bridge and created a connection between the trading floor, trading gallery and resource centre. Other areas of the 40,000 square foot building included an exhibit space, café, member's lounge, retail store, seminar rooms and administrative offices. Coloured planes of cobalt blue, chartreuse and ochre were set against a material palette of red oak, cherry, limestone, glass and stainless steel. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1988-1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include a large amount of sketches. Also included are plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and drawings for custom furnishings. The photographs show the completed interiors of the building.

Projet
AP056.S1.1995.PR06
Description:
This project series documents renovations to the concert hall of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto from 1995-1996. The office identified the project number as 9512. This project consisted of restauration work and renovations to the existing Castle Memorial Hall, part of the music school originally built in 1901, now renamed the Ettore Mazzoleni Concert Hall. This project was part of a larger master plan, created by KPMB in 1991 under the direction of Marianne McKenna, that outlined multiple phases of renovations and additions to the school (see file AP056.S1.1991.PR07.010 for complete master plan). The restauration work included opening bricked-over windows, removing paint and acoustic panels, and opening the original stair tower. Renovations included the addition of a curved mahogany stage, new maple floors and new acoustic controls. The 6,000 square foot performance venue held 240 seats.[1] The project is recorded through drawings and a presentation painting dating from 1994-1997. The drawings include plans, sections, elevations, details and millwork and furnishings drawings. [1]"Royal Conservatory / Ettore Mazzoleni Hall." KPMB.

Projet
AP018.S1.1979.PR02
Description:
This project series documents renovations to the restaurant, lobby, and offices at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto in 1979. The office identified the project number as 7902. The project consisted of renovations to the existing AGO Grange Court Restaurant and its kitchen including an increased seating capacity, additional shelving, acoustic improvements, and a larger waiting area. Although this project title, found in the materials, reflects only restaurant renovations, the project also consisted of renovations to the education offices and gallery lobby. Beginning in 1969, Parkin’s firm was hired as the head architects for the AGO’s massive expansion program that would span more than a decade. This is one project relating to the expansion of the art gallery. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through restaurant drawings, restaurant photographs, and textual records dating from 1978-1980. The textual records consist of progress billing invoices for the restaurant and education offices, client correspondence, and a stipulated price contract.
