Projet
AP056.S1.1994.PR06
Description:
This project series documents a prototype bank branch for Canada Trust in Bowmanville, Ontario from 1994-1995. The office identified the project number as 9413. This project consisted of the design of several types of bank branches including free-standing buildings, drive-thru branches and the electronic branches of the future. The goal was to create brand recognition through consistent design features and to adapt to the accessibility needs of the bank's clientele. The primary site was at the corner of Liberty and King Streets in Bowmanville, but the architects examined how the initial concept could be altered for different local environments. Graphics, furniture, banking accessories, and ABM façades were also designed. The project is recorded through a model, drawings and some accompanying notes dating from 1994-1995. The drawings include site surveys, sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details. Some drawings for furnishings and signage are also included.

AP056.S1.1988.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a proposal for a mixed-use building located at 100 Yorkville Street in Toronto in 1988. The office identified the project number as 8807. This project proposed an eight-storey building with three levels of underground parking to be used as a mix of retail spaces, restaurants, an office, a gallery and residences. The residential areas comprised the top four floors and would range from around 29,000 square feet to 34,000 square feet in total area. On the exterior, the building would integrate the original facades of existing buildings along Scollard Street. The development also wrapped around a large courtyard at its centre, accessible from pedestrian walkways connected to sidewalks. The project is recorded through drawings, aerial site photographs and a project model dating from 1987-1988. The drawings are mostly originals and include site surveys, sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and axonometric drawings.

Saat Rasta
AP182.S1.2012.D2
Description:
File documents an executed project for a live-work complex in Mumbai, India, that reuses the structure of an existing fire-damaged warehouse. The name of the project, Saat Rasta, translates literally to Seven Roads, a reference to a nearby roundabout. The site is immediately adjacent to the Central railroad as well as an informal housing settlement, qualities which made the location undesirable for developers. To adhere to zoning regulations, the design recoups the warehouse's original basalt stone perimeter wall. Brick infill delineates the units, while new wood-frame and cement-panel walls shape interior spaces. Each unit contains one or two courtyards, the roofs of which tilt inward to capture rain and avoid draining water on the surrounding housing. The courtyards also allow for the growth of local vegetation, especially Goolar figs, which had overgrown on the site before its redevelopment. File contains photographs, drawings, and a model.

Projet
AP056.S1.1988.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the first phase of development for renovations to the Stratford Festival Theatre in Stratford, Ontario in 1988. The office identified the project number as 8806. Conceived with Thomas Payne as the partner-in-charge, this project consisted of the master plan for future renovations to the famous tent-shaped theatre. The proposed renovations included a new, larger lobby, improvements to the entrance and arrival area, landscaping and the addition of a marquee space. The plan divided these renovations into several phases, the last of which proposed the addition of a new museum space. The realization of this project began in 1994, and was completed under a different project number (see project series AP056.S1.1994.PR14 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and photographic materials dating from on or around 1988, with one drawing from 1995. The drawings include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and sections. The photographic materials consist of an aerial site photograph and studies of the project model.

Projet
AP027.S1.D21
Description:
This project series documents proposals for Expo 67 initiated by Van Ginkel Associates on their own account in 1962. These proposals were made to oppose the then official position of an exhibition site down-river from Montréal and to re-institute the idea of an "International Exhibition" rather than a "World's Fair". The proposal with a model of the site design was presented to Mayor Jean Drapeau. Work on the theme and the site continued pro bono until H.P. Daniel van Ginkel was appointed chief planner and designer of the Canadian World Exhibition corporation, shortly after its formation. As chief planner and designer for Expo 67 in the initial stages, H.P. Daniel van Ginkel was responsible for the preliminary sketch plan, implications of the choice of site, thematic development, admission policy, visitor attendance characteristics, and the relationship between main exhibition sites and external circulation. Blanche Lemco van Ginkel authored the initial theme for the exhibition.
