Projet
AP018.S1.1974.PR17
Description:
This project series documents renovations to the Minaki Lodge in Minaki, Ontario from 1974-1977. The office identified the project number as 7422. The Minaki Lodge, owned by the Government of Ontario at the time of this project, was located on the banks of the Winnipeg River and was originally built in 1914 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The site included an X-shaped main lodge, a motor lodge and power house, a ski chalet and Holst Point on a nearby island. This project, which was phase I of the work, consisted of renovations to the main lodge including a complete reimagining of the interior layouts and the addition of a new convention hall and approximately 200 new guest rooms. This project mainly consisted of work on the interior layouts, while work for the additions continued under a new project number assigned by the office (see project series AP018.S1.1974.PR18 in this fonds). Drawings in this project series include drawings of the building before this project, at several points in its history. Originals and reprographic copies from 1945 were prepared by architect John Schofield for the Canadian National Railways. Reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1925-1930 were prepared by the Canadian National Railways. Reprographic copies from 1972 were prepared by architect Jack M. Ross. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating primarily from 1974-1977. There are originals of drawings from 1925-1926 prepared by the Canadian National Railways for a different project. The photographs show the building before this project commenced. The textual records include correspondence, conference and site reports, interoffice letters, consultancy files, zoning documentation, financial records, tender documents, change orders, design notes, specifications and supplementary instructions.

AP144.S2.D153
Description:
File documents Price's participation in an international ideas workshop for a redundant docks area on the river Elbe in Hamburg, Germany. The workshop, entitled "IV. Hamburger Bauforum 1989", was designed as a simulated competition with different teams working separately. Price and his team proposed to turn the area into a large nature reserve for migratory waterfowl, and included a design for a self-powered floating walkway called the "mud-mobile". Although the project arose from the Hamburger Bauforum workshop, Price apparently pursued it further after the workshop was over. Included in this file are drawings of a room, possibly for an exhibition of the project (DR2004:0877). Material in this file was produced between 1989 and 1991. File contains conceptual drawings, presentation panels, a model, photographs, and textual records.
