Description:
This project series documents the offices of Gluskin Sheff and Associates Inc. in Toronto from 1994-1995. The office identified the project number as 9416. Located on the 46th floor of BCE Place on Wellington Street, the offices were shaped like two conjoined octagons and were conceived as a mix of open and closed office spaces. Beech wood, panoramic views and curved lines created serenity in an attempt to offset the high-energy of daily investment activity. Similarly, custom-curved furnishings such as the trading desk added organic forms to the office environment. Sandblasted glass screens were used throughout the office to create transparency, while clear glass created openness in enclosed spaces.[1] This project was led by Marianne McKenna and Bruce Kuwabara. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records and a project model dating from 1994-1995. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, model and presentation drawings, plans, elevations, perspectives, drawings of custom furnishings and construction drawings. The textual records consist of a staffing schedule. [1]Bruce Kuwabara et al., Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna, Blumberg (Gloucester, MA: Rockport Publ., 1998), 120-127.

Description:
This project series documents the master plan for the future Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) expansion projects in Toronto in 1969. The office identified the project number as 69035. This project outlines the complete master plan for future expansions of the gallery. For decades, the AGO, under its previous name, The Art Gallery of Toronto, consisted of the nineteenth century Grange mansion and a gallery to its north. The project shows the growth of the AGO from two small buildings surrounded by parks to a much larger two storey building that would touch Dundas Street to the north, Beverly Street to the West, and McCaul Street and the Ontario College of Art to the East. In total, three stages were proposed in this plan to increase the AGO sevenfold from 32,000 square feet of gallery space to 253,000 square feet. In addition, a parking lot was proposed in the Dundas Street Mall to the east of the gallery. Originally, the stages were known in the documentation as Phases I, II, III, and IA but their names evolved with the project. Each stage was eventually given its own project number by the office and the original master plan documented in this project series changed in size and design over the years. This project contract was originally given to John B. Parkin Associates. However, 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 drawings, including presentation boards, dating from 1965-1978. The majority of these are original drawings showing the design planning of the art gallery.
