Synopsis:
The Office dA project records, 1991-2007, document the firm’s work on the Casa La Roca, Witte Arts Center, and Tongxian Arts Center projects. All three projects involved the use of traditional and locally-sourced materials, such as brick and terracotta block, to create continuous surfaces that appear structural despite remaining an architectural effect in the skin of the building. The archive consists of approximately 8362 digital files (8.5 GB), 1461 drawings and reproductions, four models and approximately 40 model pieces, as well as photographic materials, textual records and ephemera.

Study of human settlements
Reference number:
AP149.S1.1986.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's human settlement study in developping countries, mainly in India and in China, in the 1970s and 1980s. The project led to three publications series "How the Other Half Builds" (Volume 1: Space (1984), Volume 2: Plots (1986) and Volume 3: The Self-Selection Process (1990)). A series of audio-visual training packages entitled "Human Settlements Training Packages" was also produced in relation with this study. They produced a total of six series comprised of slides and audio cassettes that provide new ideas for planning low-income housing and low-cost technologies. The production of these training packages is based on years of field work in China and in India, and research in collobaration with the Vastu-Shilpa Foundation in Ahmedabad, India. The material in this project series was produced between 1985 and 1993. The files contain a large collection of slides of the training packages, guides for the slide show presentations, and various textual records related to the production of the training packages. The project series also comprises correspondence with the Vastu-Shilpa Foundation and sketchbooks with study drawings of housing mainly in India, possibly by Vikram Bhatt. The file also includes textual records related to the production of the publications series "How the Other Half Builds", as well as proofs for the publications and the final version of the books.
