Scope and content:
This subseries is comprised of notes, drafts, research, and photographic materials that were organized by topic. Unlike Kenneth Frampton’s research files which are arranged in Series AP197.S2, these files were compiled for book projects, articles, book reviews, lectures, interviews, conference addresses, and keynote speeches, and document over 300 of Frampton's published or unpublished texts. The materials include notes, contracts, drafts, correspondence, final copies of texts, photographic materials, and research materials. This subseries also includes Frampton’s curriculum vitaes, notebooks, and covers he designed for the journal Architectural Design (1962-1964).
The files are organized alphabetically by the topic explored, namely architects. Some of these architects include: Alvar Aalto; Tadao Ando; Georges Baines; Luis Barragan; H.P. Berlage; Mario Botta; Alberto Campo Baeza; David Chipperfield; Alvaro Siza; Michael Kagan; Louis Kahn; Rem Koolhaas; Kengo Kuma; Kisho Kurakawa; Adolf Loos; Le Corbusier; Raphael Moneo; Carlo Scarpa; O.M. Ungers; Raj Rewal; Rogelio Salmona; Frank Lloyd Wright; and Monica Pidgeon. Subjects explored in these texts include: photography; the predicament of environmental design; reciprocal regionalism; the British Library; China's sacred sites; reflections on the oppositions of architecture and building; reflections on Perspecta; and the role of education. Large portions of these boxes document the publications "World Architecture 1900-2000: a Critical Mosaic" (1999), "Le Corbusier" (1997 and 2002), "American Masterworks: the Twentieth Century House" (1995), and "American Masterworks" (2008).
Some folders may include coloured tabs with the note "copied." These tabs were used to identify whether the particular writing/project in question had been added to Frampton's curriculum vitae.
