Project
AP166.S1.1991.PR1
Description:
This project series documents a proposal for a sports complex in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The proposal was submitted in the context of a competition sponsored by the municipality of Odawara. The office of Shoei Yoh was a finalist in the competition. The design called for multiple athletic facilities in a 3-storey structure with a roof that adapts to different uses of the space and to different external conditions and forces. In order to achieve this adaptability, computer simulations were executed to determine the appropriate dimensions for each element in a grid of 3-dimensional trusses. The project series consists chiefly of printouts or photocopies of presentation and design development drawings. Also included are wireframe sections and perspective views from roof deformation simulations. There are also some printouts of computer renderings of the roof structure. Digital files include still images of the roof and building in .jpg format. There are also some transparencies and textual records. The content of this file was created between 1990 and 1991.

Laundry (1969)
AP207.S1.1969.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's installation "Laundry" realized in the context of the Campo Urbano, a series of artistic events staged during a day at the Piazza del Duomo, in the historic centre of Como, in Italy, on the 21st of September 1969. Pettena was one of the forty artists, musicians, architects and art critics invited to the event [2]. For his installation, "Pettena chose to hang out washing on clothes lines, with the aim of underlining the difference between the appearance of a city and the experience of living in it." [2]. The project series contains photographs of the installation at the Piazza del Duomo, in Como, sketches of the installation, and a project description in English and Italian.

The project series documents "The Curious Mr. Pettena", a series of photographs taken by Pettena during his stay in the United States from 1971 to 1973. During that time "[Pettena] discovers views and contexts which he feels near to his theoretic and visual work, a temporary architecture as well, documenting research and whatever comes from the mind, making it real, or discovering it in something already built where nature has worked so that it may become part of a common language or subject."

*CONTENT WARNING* This project series documents the Caughnawaga United Church in Kahnawá:ke, Quebec, Canada, which ran the school Caughnawaga Mission (or Caughnawaga Methodist Mission School), recognized as part of the Federal Indian Day School system by the Federal Government of Canada.[1] Please take care in consulting these records and seek help when needed. For more information about the Day School system, please visit https://indiandayschools.com. Note that Kahnawá:ke was previously known as Caughnawaga and the name has been maintained in the project title to preserve the project's historical context. The church was built in 1928 to replace the existing building, which was becoming too small for the congregation. The stained glass of the church was done by Canadian artist Charles William Kelsey. The one-storey building was made from quarried stone, which congregation members moved from quarry to site on horse and buggy.[2] [1] Federal Indian Day School Class Action “Schedule K – List of Federal Indian Day Schools.” https://indiandayschools.com/en/wp-content/uploads/schedule-k.pdf [2] Kahnawake United Church “Kahnawake United Church - Voices of our Elders.” YouTube Video, 23:37, February 8, 2023, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPLYQIJ4c98
