Projet
AP056.S1.1994.PR06
Description:
This project series documents a prototype bank branch for Canada Trust in Bowmanville, Ontario from 1994-1995. The office identified the project number as 9413. This project consisted of the design of several types of bank branches including free-standing buildings, drive-thru branches and the electronic branches of the future. The goal was to create brand recognition through consistent design features and to adapt to the accessibility needs of the bank's clientele. The primary site was at the corner of Liberty and King Streets in Bowmanville, but the architects examined how the initial concept could be altered for different local environments. Graphics, furniture, banking accessories, and ABM façades were also designed. The project is recorded through a model, drawings and some accompanying notes dating from 1994-1995. The drawings include site surveys, sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details. Some drawings for furnishings and signage are also included.

This sub-series contains research material such as notes by Pettena, information on Olmsted's landscape projects, publications on Olmsted, and leaflets and ephemera from other exhibitions or events on Olmsted. The research material also contains correspondence of Gianni Pettena with experts on Olmsted or with the Frederick Law Olmsted Association. Also included, are documents related to the planning and the production of the exhibition and the related publication, such as correspondence, exhibition programs, strategic program, summaries of the exhibition's themes, object lists, and budget and draft texts for the publication.

Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the international competition “Jubilee-Gardens” for the reorganization of the Southbank in London, England. Abalos & Herreros worked with an international team and the firm's entry was a finalist in the competition. The firm identified this project as number 139. “The competition programme asked for a new center for London. A center which would be perceived as a global icon. Comparing the statement with analogue enclaves showed that the Southbank was very small for such ambition, especially because of the fact that the project had to let as much metropolitan space open as possible. This forced to investigate how to enlarge the site. The problem was resolved by connecting adjacent areas in three levels. The original conditions and the programme offered a diverse mix of urban and natural elements: history, entertainment, culture, open spaces, the Thames… from where the conquest of the adjacent areas, the sub terrain and the margins of a linked event starts.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual and design development drawings, photographic and reference materials, notes, competition documents, and correspondence.
