Projet
AP018.S1.1970.PR07
Description:
This project series documents the existing Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) buildings in Toronto around 1970. The office identified the project number as 70056. This project consisted of creating drawings of the two existing AGO buildings, before the start of construction on the AGO expansion. 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. The work for AGO projects was divided into 4 physical areas of the art gallery (A, B, C and D) and the drawings for this project reflect this division. 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 reprographic copies of area D drawings dating from around 1970.

Description:
La série document le dôme géodésique Senneville Barn Dome, dit aussi The Barn Dome. Conçu par la firme Jeffrey Lindsay & Associates, il fut construction en 1954. La série contient une photographie montrant, depuis l'intérieur, la structure géodésique de bois dont l'un des triangles est recouvert d'une membrane de fibre de verre qui enveloppait la structure à l'origine, aujourd'hui disparue et remplacée par des feuilles de métal peint. On aperçoit de plus la silhouette d'un homme travaillant à assembler la structure, vraisemblablement le propriétaire du terrain et client John Hackney, qui a commandé à Jeffrey Lindsay (Montréal, 1924-Los Angeles, 1984), architecte, le dôme en question pour s'en servir comme étable. La photographie est accompagné d'un dossier documentaire contenant des photocopies de documents tirés des archives de Senneville (Plot Plan, Application for Permit to Build, Memorendum) et deux photographies récentes de l'édifice (Robert Duchesnay, photographe, avril 2004).

Sous-série
AP001.S1.SS05
Description:
Cette série est composée de photographies personnelles et professionnelles de Cormier. Elle comprend des photographies de Cormier et de sa compagne, de sa famille, de ses voyages en Europe et des divers évènements sociaux auxquels il participa. Elle témoigne aussi de l’intérêt que Cormier possédait pour la photographie, puisqu’il prit un grand nombre des clichés de cette série. Au niveau professionnel, la plupart des bâtiments de Cormier sont photographiés, dont l'Université de Montréal, la Cour Suprême du Canada, le Grand Séminaire de Québec et l'Annexe au Palais de Justice de Montréal. Plusieurs projets sont très bien documentés et permettent de visualiser l'évolution des chantiers de construction. Pour les projets majeurs, plusieurs photographies montrent en détail les différents aspects du bâtiment tels que la façade, les pièces, la décoration ou les escaliers. La série contient également des films personnels par Ernest Cormier montrant diverses activités de familles et d'amis et voyages.

Projet
AP075.S1.1989.PR04
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Ottawa City Hall, located on Sussex Drive, on Green Island, surrounded by Ottawa and Rideau Rivers, in Ottawa, Ontario. Oberlander worked on this project in 1989-1994 with architect Moshe Safdie. The old City Hall, a heritage building, was retained, and the new landscape design had to include the old structures. Oberlander landscape concept was to create a park-like space used for strolling as well as public functions. She also designed a courtyard with water features, including a pool, trees and flowers. The project also included a play area for the day care centre of the City Hall. The project was completed in 1994. The project series comprises sketches, design development drawings, such as grading plans, landscape plans, sections, elevations and details for the play area, working drawings, including site grading plans, and presentation drawings. The project is also documented through concept notes by Oberlander, specifications, correspondence, including with architects, clients, and consultants, financial documents and photographs of the construction.

Description:
Le dessin offert montre un projet d'aile occupant l'angle sud-est du périmètre de l'Hôtel-Dieu. La construction de cette aile, suivant les plans de Gascon & Auger, aurait entraîné, si elle avait été réalisée, la démolition du dispensaire (1886) et d'une partie du pavillon Marie-Morin (1859-1861; 1902). Trois des additions antérieures édifiées par Gascon, Parant & Auger, apparaissent également sur le dessin : Pavillon Jeanne-Mance; Généralat; Pavillon De Bullion.
