AP207.S1.1979.PR01
Description:
The project series documents the performance "Isole Abbandonate Della Laguna" held at the Palazzo Grassi, in Venezia, during "The Art of Performance" in 1979. The setting for the performance is similar to a lecture, where the performer stands on a podium placed above television screens playing films on the abandoned islands of the Venetian Lagoon. The performer remains silent, walking around the stage. "He finally stops at the stand but, while he should speak about the environment and its pollution, his lips remain sealed. After trying several times he disappears upwards, into “the darkness of his failures“." [1] The project series contains photographs of the performance and storyboards.

Description:
This project series documents the Warner-Lambert Research Institute of Canada in Sheridan Park, Mississauga, Ontario from 1964-1966. The office identified the project number as 6417. This project consisted of administrative offices, laboratories and animal rooms housed in a 30,000 square foot building. The single-storey building was raised on a 3-foot podium and its exteriors were comprised of white brick with dark solar bronze glazed windows breaking up the façade. The H-shaped building was built with rigorous temperature controls and vermin proof electrical systems. This project is recorded through drawings and a presentation panel dating from 1964 to around 1966. The drawings are all reprographic copies and consist of plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and structural drawings. The presentation panel shows the completed building.

Description:
This project series documents the Imperial Oil product application and technical services laboratory in Sarnia, Ontario from 1965-1966. The office identified the project number as 6509. This project consisted of a one-storey building that contained process areas, equipment rooms, testing rooms, a shipping area and offices for technicians and engineers. The project was also known as the PVC Applications Laboratory, since its purpose to support marketing of Polyvinyl Chloride. This building, resting on a 102,400 square foot site, was designed with narrow slot type windows to ensure environmental controls could be met within it. It had a steel frame with dark sable brick exteriors and a plastic fascia manufactured by the client. The client's plastics were also used throughout the interiors. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1965-1966.

Description:
This project series documents the interiors of the Marc Laurent store at 110 Bloor Street West in Toronto from 1984-1986. A project number assigned by the office is not identifiable. This project consisted of alterations to the interior of the high end retail store prior to the founding of KPMB, by Bruce Kuwabara and Thomas Payne. The design consisted of the removal and replacement of lighting fixtures, walls, change rooms and window displays. The project also included the design of a cash counter and new display furnishings such as mobile units, rack systems and a parallelogram unit. The rack system was made so that retail workers could easily reconfigure the design and locations of the racks based on merchandizing needs. Dark colours were used throughout the store including for the flooring, walls, and furnishings. The project is recorded through original drawings and a photograph dating from 1988 to around 1989. The drawings consist of a set of sections, plans, details for display and counter furnishings issued for construction, sketch plans, perspectives, and elevations. The photograph shows the finished interiors.

Description:
This project subseries documents student housing for Victoria University in Toronto from 1987-1992. The office identified the project number as 18723. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, consisted of an 8 floor building, with 57 apartments, designed to house 220 students. Located next to Victoria University, part of the University of Toronto, the housing was comprised of units ranging from 1-4 bedrooms. The L-shaped building was 8,646 square metres in size and had two levels of parking that could hold 155 vehicles. The top storeys of the building were gradually set back at each successive level, creating a pyramid-style top, clad in aluminum panelling. The lower levels had facades of red brick, banded with darker red brick, and intermittent with grey brick in a similar pattern. Limestone banding was also used, as well as limestone panelling around the west entrance which continued skyward to create a limestone chimney. This building is now known as Rowell Jackman Hall. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1987-1992. These include sketches, elevations, plans, perspectives and isometrics. This project was designed simultaneously with the Victoria University Hotel (see project subseries AP056.S1.1987.PR06.SS1). These two projects have been arranged in two subseries because their project numbers and the site plans and surveys for each project overlap. Some sketches in this project subseries show the Victoria University Hotel building. These two project subseries should be viewed together.
