Projet
AP164.S1.2005.D3
Description:
The project series documents the design for an artificial hill and serves as the finish-line for the “Elfstedentocht”, Leeuwarden, Netherlands, at the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam 2005. The firm identified this project as number 201. "The finish of the great race of the Elfstedentocht should be accompanied by a three-dimensial event which signals the site in the memory of the citizen. If from there, furthermore, the last part of the race is dominated we will be able to imagine that this three-dimensional event is a hybrid between a tribune and a landscaping milestone. […] If towards the South and East it disposes of a slope consisting of artificial lawn with solarium and tribunes above the canal and a scating [sic] park, then towards the North it could house the sport installations with tribunes and a climbing zone with the result that this minimum architectural organization could give life to the site during all year basing on the small sports center, solarium and skating track. A shelter structure crowns the artificial hill composing a lookout spot from where one dominates the whole city and the surrounding landscape." (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual and presentation drawings, digital, graphic and reference materials, correspondence, publications, competition documents, and agreements.

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.
