Description:
File documents a consultancy project for the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, for site planning and phased improvements for the campus. The project delineates zones for landscaping, pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns, passive and active recreation areas, and building types. A plan showing existing conditions also shows new construction and a phasing scheme. This plan has a plastic overlay and is mounted on a panel of press board, and was possibly used for presentation purposes. Existing conditions material includes panoramas of the campus (montages of photographs), and existing plans of the campus and surrounding area. Conceptual sketches are drawn on top of photocopied photographs of the campus in coloured crayon, and are annotated with notes by Price which address the landscaping and walkway embellishments intended to enhance the experience of circulating between buildings. Material in this file was produced in 1980. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, reference drawings, a panel, photographic materials, and textual records.
