Project
AP144.S2.D13
Description:
File documents a project for an arts centre at Bennington College, Vermont. It was designed by the Chicago-based firm of Robertson Ward Jr., F.A.I.A. for whom Price was a consultant while he worked on other projects in Detroit (see Detroit Think Grid, 1954-1968, AP144.S2.D73). Design requirements specified that no metal or rubber materials be used, and Price collaborated on the development of custom structural wood connectors. Architectural working drawings show Phase 1 of the project for a two-storey studio (1970). Later structural drawings, created in collaboration with Chicago consulting engineers, The Engineers Collaborative, show both a visual arts building and a performing arts building. Material in this file was produced between 1970 and 1973. All drawings are stamped and signed by Robertson Ward. Jr., registered architect, State of Vermont. Information on attribution based on the content of the file and on notes by Howard Shubert, CCA Curator of Prints and Drawings, in conversation with Cedric Price. File contains working drawings.

Project
AP144.S2.D14
Description:
File documents the design for a darkroom and workshop enclosure unit for U.S.T.S. [United States Technical Services?], possibly for a temporary location in Paris, [France?]. The design calls for the use of a prefabricated aluminum scaffolding system. Reference working drawings in the textual records show the Circle-Vision 360 Travelling Show by Walt Disney Productions for which Price's design may have been intended. Material in this file was produced in 1973. Reference drawings (dated 1970) of the air dome, Circle Vision 360 Traveling Show, are by Walt Disney Productions. File contains a working drawing and textual records.

AP144.S2.D15
Description:
File documents the Open Space Utilisation Programme, [Stratford?], England, for client Joan Littlewood. The project proposed using a vacant lot for "variable community activities", and possibly for the installation of temporary structure(s). The full scope of the project cannot be determined from the drawing and the correspondence in this file. Material in this file was produced in 1972. File contains a reference drawing and textual records.

AP144.S2.D16
Description:
File documents the project Theory of Centrality (East Anglia), England. Undated drawings are of a regional map of East Anglia showing existing transportation networks and towns, as well as additions, possibly of a secondary transportation network, nodal points between towns, and other regional development. Further research is required to establish the scope of this project. Material in this file was probably produced between 1960 and 1985. File contains reference and conceptual drawings.
