Scope and Content

File documents a design programme undertaken for construction company, Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd., in London, England. The aim was to increase the efficiency of production and improve labour relations by producing enclosures, equipment, material, and information systems that would improve safety, on-site communication, and job satisfaction. Cedric Price's office produced 2 report volumes, a Portable Enclosures Programme (PEP) and used at least one construction site, at Angel Court, as a test site for the proposals. Diagrams and flow charts show preliminary planning and programming design decisions and show the relationship between present and future factors. A flow chart illustrates the scope of the program. Charts and diagrams map the relative time scale of parts of the programme over various development phases. An axonometric and cutaway drawing show the interior construction of a pedestrian walkway. Data showing both the projected and real results of a site test application of McAppy planning and equipment from 1974 to 1975 was collected and presented as a broadside. A large number of original drawings are included within the textual records. Material in this file was produced between 1955 and 1987.

Zisman, Bowyer & Partners provided consultation services.

File contains design development drawings, model, photographic materials, presentation drawings, and textual records.
