Description:
This project series documents the Banco Borges & Irmão II in Vila do Conde, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 46/70. The office assigned the date 1978 to this project. The Banco Borges & Irmão bank was located in the historic part of Vila do Conde, near the Matriz Church. The project site was the same as for the Banco Borges & Irmão I (project series AP178.S1.1977.PR02 in this fonds). The old building was destroyed and Siza built a new bank. The documentation informs us that the design of the building was subject to several changes. This project series contains documentation for several different versions of the building. The building had two floors and a basement. The third floor was used for administrative offices, the second floor for services to the public, and the basement for safety deposits. In 1988, Siza received the Mies van der Rohe prize for this project. Drawings include sketches, studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, meeting minutes and correspondence. Photographic materials include photographs of the models and the built project. A study model is also included in these materials.

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's proposal for the landscape master plan of Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary. Oberlander worked on this project in the early 2000s. Oberlander was in charged of developping the concept for the landscape master plan and create a healing garden. Her concept included a site entry with a strong presence of the nature to reassure the visitor, the use of native plants to keep the landscape of the hospital in harmony with site natural landscape, the use of plants that encourage and support wildlife to allow sick children to appreciate nature, outdoor seating areas and pathways with lighting to be used even at nightime, and environments for play and learning for sick children and their relatives. A participatory method was also applied for the design of the master plan throughout workshops organized with the children of the hospital in which they were invited to draw what they wanted for the healing garden. The project series contains landscape plans, site plans, landscape concept plans, site concept plans and presentation drawings. The project is also documented through Oberlander's concept notes, correspondence, including correspondence with client, Oberlander's landscape proposal, landscape concept presentation documents, financial documents, research material, and photographs of the site for the hospital.

AP018.S1.1979.PR02
Description:
This project series documents renovations to the restaurant, lobby, and offices at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto in 1979. The office identified the project number as 7902. The project consisted of renovations to the existing AGO Grange Court Restaurant and its kitchen including an increased seating capacity, additional shelving, acoustic improvements, and a larger waiting area. Although this project title, found in the materials, reflects only restaurant renovations, the project also consisted of renovations to the education offices and gallery lobby. 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. 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 restaurant drawings, restaurant photographs, and textual records dating from 1978-1980. The textual records consist of progress billing invoices for the restaurant and education offices, client correspondence, and a stipulated price contract.
