Ice House II (1972)
AP207.S1.1972.PR01
Description:
The project series documents "Ice House II" a project which consisted of freezing a small house in suburban Minneapolis, by pouring water into a wooden mold surrounding the house and letting the water freeze to create a block of ice. "If the addition of material then leads, paradoxically, to the disappearence of the 'architectural' object, this subtraction only highlights the serial repetitiveness of the dwellings in American suburbia." [1] It is unclear if this project was ever performed. The project series contains photographs of the frozen house, photographic reproductions of aerial views and plans of the neighbourhood for the selection of the house, sketches and a perspective drawing.

This project series documents the Life Sciences Complex at Memorial University (MUN) in St. John’s, Newfoundland in 1972. The office identified the project number as 7211. In 1971, Parkin Architects Planners began work on the Health Sciences Complex located on MUN's north campus. This was a large teaching hospital that also contained the university's medical school. During the conception of the Health Sciences Complex, the Life Sciences Complex was proposed as a future expansion to the hospital. It would include MUN's life sciences department and additional hospital spaces related to those practices, such as pyscology. It is not clear from the materials in this project series whether Parkin Architects Planners proceeded with construction of the Life Sciences Complex. The project is recorded through a meeting report dating from 1972.
