Description:
- This drawing is one of four drawings for monumental structures by Pol Gosset, DR1987:0019 - DR1987:0022. All of the structures are enormous in scale and impractical in design, which suggests that they are designs for visionary architecture.

Description:
This project series documents a sports and recreation complex in North York, Ontario in 1972. The office identified the project number as 7221. This project consisted of a proposed complex that included a sports stadium with approximately 60,000 seats, an arena, and a swimming pool. The complex was to be located at the corners of Sheppard Avenue and Dufferin Street. The project is recorded through drawings of sections, floor plans and site plans dating from around 1972. Most of the drawings are reprographic copies.

Description:
This project series documents the site consultancy and construction of the College of Nurses of Ontario in Toronto from 1980-1982. The office identified the project number as 8003. This project consisted of a building with a three-storey office space and atrium on the east side and a single-storey council chamber on the west side. The project was adapted to fit its surroundings, which had a residential landscape to the west and commercial zoning to the east. The building was 2536 square meters in size and cost approximately $5.2 million. In 1982, the design won a Canadian Architect Award of Excellence. However, some judges later stated that design changes made during construction had destroyed the original concept and the finished building lacked the polish of the original proposal. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1980-1985. A large part of these drawings are reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials. There is also one presentation board of sections and elevations. Photographs show the project site and construction progress of the building. The textual records include construction invoices, correspondence, change orders, calculations, site reports, minutes of meetings, design notes and the program for the opening of the building.

This project series documents the design of the Victoria and Grey Trust Company office in Stratford, Ontario from 1980-1981. The office identified the project number as 8014. This project consisted of the design of an office building and computer center to be the new head office of Victoria and Grey Trust Company. Originally, two schemes were proposed, both with eleven storeys, but the project was eventually scaled back to five storeys with a basement and penthouse. The building was to be located on Erie Street. This project consisted only of the building's design; it was eventually constructed under a different project number assigned by the office, with changes to the design (see project series AP018.S1.1981.PR16 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1980-1981. The drawings are all reprographic copies, mostly of details, and are arranged within the textual materials. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports, tender documentation, pre-design planning, authority documents, inter-office letters, prequalification records and specifications. Box AP018.S1.1980.PR14.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
