Visiting Scholar Katie Lloyd Thomas presents her research: In the United Kingdom, the naming and selection of building products—or ‘shopping’ on behalf of the client—only became part of the architect’s role during the vast expansion of mass manufacturing in the 1930s.

Description:
File documents an executed project for children's furniture, in Worthing, West Sussex, England, United Kingdom, and shows designs for custom furniture units for sleeping, working, washing, dressing, and storage for a 9' x 12' room.

Drawings include fabrication drawings for a bunk bed, dresser, bunk bed tables, wardrobe and retractable desk; perspective and isometric views of proposed bedroom layouts; and construction details of manufactured "Dexion slotted aluminum angle hardware." (Price with Murray 1971, 35). Material from this file was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 35. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1964. File contains working drawings, textual records, and photographic materials.

At Site 8, 167 small apartments for the elderly were built in buildings of 5 to 19 floors. The other three sites all include larger apartments for families. Site 6 contains 84 middle-income units, some of them split-level, in 11-storey buildings. Site 5-7 contains 99 appartments in10-storey buildings. Site 10-12 contains 136 apartments, a day care center and parking in 17-storey buildings.The project was developed by the New York State Urban Development Corporation. The series contains drawings that constitute a "design manual" submission and architectural and structural drawings.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Ritsumeikan House, a combine residential and educational faculty on Agronomy Road at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in 1990-1993 with architectural firm Matsuzaki Wright Architects. The project consisted in designing a landscape that will include an already existing treed courtyard with mature pine trees on small mounds. Oberlander added a paved pathways between the mounds leading the entrances of the buildings. The landscape design also included planters and tree planting along the buildings. The project was completed in 1992. The project series contains design development drawings, such as landscape plans and planting plans, and working drawings such as planting plans, grading plans, and irrigation plans, and presentation drawings, including landscape plans. The project is also documented through concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence with architects and clients, reports, meetings documents, specifications, plant lists, financial documents and photographs of the planting.
