Description:
This group of drawings shows a preliminary design for a housing complex located in Umukoroshe, Nigeria, possibly for employees of Shell-B.P. Co. The design, a proto-typical two-wing building block, has dining and kitchen facilites and a courtyard between the two wings. Shaded access walkways and balconies connect various parts of the complex. A single storey wing of "boys quarters" is comprised of individual rooms and shared kitchen and bathroom facilities along a corridor. A two-storey "bachelor" wing is comprised of individual living quarters of approximately 400 sq. ft. with living, sleeping, and study areas, private washroom and balcony. Semi-private parking for the residents of the "bachelor" wing is located below the living quarters. Construction materials are not specified.

Description:
This project for a guest house, Gachsaran, Iran, was possibly intended for foreign employees of an Iranian oil, exploration, and producing company. The guest house is divided into three sections: a two-storey wing containing the guest rooms; the entrance area where public facilities such as the dining room, lounge, bar, and terraces are located; and a servant's wing with servants' rooms surrounding a service yard. The guest rooms are approximately 200 sq. ft. each and include a full walk-in closet and private bathroom.

Description:
This project for two designs for the Architectural Association's dining room includes a display table (DR1995:0172:001 - DR1995:0172:002) and a service table (DR1995:0172:003 - DR1995:0172:004). All drawings show fully developed construction details along with plan, elevation, and section views. The display table design indicates an additional shelf, possibly an additional display surface. The service table design was apparently to be used for food service since an upper "bar shelf" and "hot-plate" are indicated.

Description:
This project for the School of Engineering, University of Liverpool includes reprographic copies of detail drawings for the design of a large decorative wall panel measuring approximately 32 ft. x 62 ft. and spanning an exterior face of the building. The wall is formed by numerous individual precast concrete panels and brick facing tiles. Inscribed in the concrete panels are names of historically noteworthy scientists and inventors such as Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, and James Watt.

Design development drawings for Pearson House show plans for a lower level flat and a main flat. A partial plan shows how the master bedroom of the main flat can be divided into a smaller bedroom with an adjacent dressing room by the positioning of doors and cupboards between the two areas (see DR1995:0175:002).

Description:
- This group of drawings are for a "truck transportable week-end house to be located on a beach in North Wales, UK" ('Architectural Design', 511). Accordion-shaped extendible boxes with cross bracing are designed to be pulled out by car from a fixed central core onto structural rail sections leveled on jacks. The fixed central core consists of living, dining, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Four extendible boxes house additional sleeping quarters along with a carport and a dock which is shown extended out into the water. Two sketches have apparently been redrawn from originals by Cedric Price in order to clarify ideas for publication in 'Architectural Design', (May 1970) (DR1995:0179:007 - DR1995:0179:008).

Description:
This drawing entitled "sketch proposals" is apparently a preliminary design proposal for a stage and upper gallery within a building located on Hanover Square, New York. Ground floor and first floor plans and two rough interior axonometric views of the stage and gallery are included. It cannot be determined from the drawing if the design is for the interior of an existing structure. The scope of Price's design responsibilities are also undetermined. The drawing is numbered '07' and is presumably one of at least six other drawings which are not part of the CCA's collections.

Description:
Price intended this flow chart diagram titled 'Proposed Work Programme', to visually describe the design investigation process undertaken by any architectural office for any given project. The diagram, created to describe the process to a client, charts four investigative stages: feasibility study, strategic plan, operational patterning/development planning, detailed development. The tasks to be accomplished within each stage are also described.
