Series
AP119.S1
Description:
The series contains drawings for Peter Yeadon's architectural narrative for the Prix de Rome entitled "Karl: An Architerctural Narrative." In total eleven sets of digital prints were made, each set contains eighteen sheets. Canadian Centre for Architecture received the third of these eleven sets, which is included in this series. The narrative depicts the experience of a Canadian emigrant becoming a Roman citizen. The drawings represent the following titles: City; Fabric House; Columbarium; Horizon House; House City; Depth House; Colosseum for Vanishing Curiosities; City Gate; Teatro de Tevere; Neptune House; Bath; and Bricolage House. Each drawing is signed by the architect. Also included, are four sketchbooks for 'Karl: An Architerctural Narrative', two print proofs for Bricolage House, and project documentation. The documentation explains each of the titles in the narrative, Yeadon's curriculum vitae, and leaflets for the exhibition "Karl: an architectural narrative" held at the Art Gallery of Windsor, Ontario from August 2001 to January 2002.

- This panorama is one in a series of views which Felice Beato made of the four Taku Forts (Harris, p. 139; Worswick, p. 138). - This panorama was made from the upper South Taku Fort looking east across the Pei (now Hai) River toward the Gulf of Chihli (now Bo Hai). The British and French combined fleet is visible on the horizon in PH1986:0901:014:002 (Harris, p. 160).

Project
AP164.S1.1999.D10
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the mixed-use tower “El Mirador” in the Bay of Algeciras. The firm was invited to submit their design proposal which won second prize. The competition was organised by the Algeciras City Council. The firm identified this project as number 123. “The project attempts to express, with an architectural gesture, the beauty of the geography of Algeciras: the bay, the port, the Rock and the Straits of Gibraltar, the proximity of Ceuta and Africa, the cork-oak forests that surround the town. For this [Abalos & Herreros] propose a building that, from a single body, opens out into two towers from one great public viewing platform. This form has strategic holes giving onto the more notable topographical features, establishing a physical relationship with them, while the section is organized as a gradient of privacy that increases with height. The competition […] proposed a mixed programme in a posture parallel to the great avenue of the harbour of Algeciras. An evanescent building apparently fragile appears to let one being stimulated by the effects of the climate and the atmospheric phenomenons with an appearance changing with the function of the hours of the day or the season. Its layered section attends ascending to the different landscapes of the city: first public space, second the cities skyline and at last the 360° horizon rising above the city.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Ángel Jaramillo, Renata Sentkiewicz, Jakob Hense. Documenting this project are conceptual, design development and presentation drawings, cartographic and graphic materials, and competition records.

Learning from... London
Kieran Long presents a story about the difficulty of describing a city in all its richness. London contains stories and meanings that are alive to its citizens, but apparently too difficult to talk about, too rich, and too messy to be allowed to affect those who decide how the city changes. The deafness of developers, politicians and architects to these narratives is so(...)

Description:
one drawing shows plans, elevations, cross sections and longitudinal sections for terraces of staggered houses, cross sections for houses, plans for a large detached house, plans for a typical three-bedroom house, a diagrammatic cross section for a house showing the 10 1/2 feet and 7 feet horizon tall modules, the 7 feet vertical modules, and the 30 degrees sloped roofs, a diagrammatic cross section for the structure, a diagrammatic plan for grouped houses, a sequence of two axonometric drawings representing the system of construction, from the parallel load-bearing walls to finished building, and explanatory typescript texts; a hand-coloured drawing shows a roadside elevation and a sectional elevation for a terrace of staggered houses and was probably part of a no longer extant final presentation drawing for the CIAM X Congress
