House X
AP143.S4.D20
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for House X, designed for Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Aronoff for a 40-acre site on Lahser Road, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The ground floor consists of a kitchen, dining room, breakfast room, laundry room, two powder rooms and two garages. The second floor consists of a master suite with study, two bedrooms, bathroom, family and living rooms, bar, bathhouse and deck. The third floor consists of a solarium, terrace, bedroom and maid's room with bathroom. A swimming pool, tennis court and gatehouse are situated on the grounds. Thirteen schemes were developed for this project: A, A1, B, C, C1, C2, D, E, E1, E2, F, G, H. Only schemes G and H were developed into detailed floor plans. The drawings have been organized by drawing type, because of the subtle variations which characterize each scheme. Eisenman manipulates the four "els" (fragmentary forms - the three-sided portion of a hollow cube - that he introduced in House X to replace the cube, the preferred generating volume of his first five houses) in over 200 conceptual drawings (DR1994:0138:001-0219). There are numerous design development and complete sets of working drawings (design development drawings: DR1994:0138:239-541; working drawings: DR1994:0138:1182-1457). The project was extensively published, and the file includes a number of drawings and models created for exhibition and publication, including photographs of models (DR1994:0138:1481-1501), pieces of the "axonometric model" constructed after the project had been abandoned (DR1994:0138:1458-1476), and coloured paper cut-outs for collages (cut-outs, DR1994:0138:0929-0933 and DR1994:0138:1477-1480; collage: DR1994:0138:0928). The file also includes drawings and reprographic copies for the following projects: a residence for Mr. and Mrs. Aronoff,designed by Irving E. Palmquist, (DR1994:0138:1512-1521); Bernstein House, Mamaroneck, New York, designed by John Hejduk (DR1994:0138:1524-1531); Maison Domino by Le Corbusier (DR1994:0138:0944-0965); and land subdivision and houses for Arnold Aronoff, designed by Eisenman (DR1994:0138:0434-0441). Material in this file was produced between 1960 and 1977. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, photographic materials, presentation drawings, presentation panels, publication drawings, record drawings, schematic drawings, a study model, textual records, and working drawings.
