Description:
This project series document the interior restauration of Toronto Union Station in Toronto from 1984-1985. The office identified the project number as 8401. This project consisted of restoration work to the train station commissioned by VIA Rail Canada Inc. This was referred to as a clean up in the project documentation. Restauration work was done to the interior of the great hall, the screens and the skylights. The project documentation also discussed the possibility of work to the exterior platform to fix the damage caused by diesel fuels. This project was referred to as Package B in the materials, with Package A representing a project for exterior work (see project series AP018.S1.1984.PR03 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1983-1985. The textual records include correspondence, conference and site reports, financial documents, interoffice letters, contract data and construction documentation. The drawings are primarily reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials.

AP018.S1.1978.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a site study for the new National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7809. In 1977, Parkin Architects Planners won a limited architectural competition for their design of the new National Gallery of Canada. The selected site for the competition, next to the Ottawa River, was controversial due to its uneven ground and lack of access to main streets in Ottawa. This project consisted of an extended site study for the construction of that building following the announcement of the competition winner if the original site was to be used. This was a brief urban design study to consider appropriate massing, exterior spaces, access, and vistas to and from the proposed building. It also included studying the best use of land next to the new gallery. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1978. The textual records include the predesign programme and schemes, correspondence, notes, meeting reports and research.

Description:
Construction for the transatlantic ocean liner, S.S. Nieuw Amsterdam – an initiative of the Holland-America Line – began in 1936 and was completed by May 1938. After the death of a leading figure of the Brinkman & Van der Vlugt architectural firm, the director of the Holland-American Line contracted the interior design to several architects, each working in partnership with artists. Oud was responsible for designing the First Class Swimming Pool and Second Class Tourist Lounge and Smoking Room. Oud outfitted the Second Class lounge with a rug, wooden furniture and a parquet dance floor; at one end of the room he set a stage, grand piano, and projection booth. The Smoking Room featured cork floors, panelled walls and a long reading table. The Smoking Room featured club chairs in brown leather and wooden chairs (Taverne et al. 2001, 389-392). Project series includes plans for the Tourist Lounge, and photographs of its interior.

Description:
This project series documents an office tower and additions to the Simpson's store at 401 Bay Street in Toronto from 1964-1968. The office identified the project number as 6408. This project consisted of a 585,000 square foot building with 9 low-rise levels and 23 high-rise office floors. The low-rise exteriors were visually separated from the office tower by their larger square footage and different façades. The lower exteriors were characterized by light amber metal panels and display windows of glass with stainless steel frames at the shopping levels. The building is wrapped from the ground to the top in concrete columns. The building contained the Simpson's store, barber shop, banking mezzanine, cafeteria, restaurant and cocktail lounge and headquarters office spaces. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings and a presentation board of a photograph dating from 1966-1968. The drawings are a set of construction plans, sections, details, elevations, project graphics, layouts, and schedules.

Description:
This project series documents the design for the Instituto de Biofísica in Hombroich, Germany. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 69/90. The office assigned the dates 1995-1996 to this project. The project was commissioned by the Insel Hombroich Foundation. Construction started in 1995, but was delayed until 2006. The project site was located on an old military camp and was used by the Foundation as part of a program for architects to build different types of building. The program for the Institute of Biophysics included office spaces, conference rooms, a meditation center, a music center and five guest apartments. Siza's design was kept and used later with a different interior layout for a new Pavilion for the Insel Hombroich Foundation (see project series AP178.S1.2001.PR02 in this fonds). The project was a collaboration with Rudolf Finsterwalder. Documenting this project are studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, correspondence and a development plan.
