AP144.S2.D105
Description:
File documents a competition entry for a landmark to be located in the city centre of Melbourne, Australia. Price's project for a multi-use structure combined the idea of a "city-farm" with public access routes for harvesting, marketing, and purchasing produce. "[F]our multi-floored hydroponic farms" covered with faceted triangulated space frames rise from an expansive open deck structure which covered most of the site. Artificial lights and additional water collection and supply was integrated within the triangulated space frames. Conceptual sketches in pen and coloured pencil show the initial design. A presentation panel which is composed of text and drawings pasted onto a base sheet indicates the existing site conditions in plan, the open deck platform grids, the triangulated space frames, various views of the proposed landmark design, and future design developments. Material in this file was produced in 1979. File contains conceptual drawings and presentation panels.

AP144.S2.D15
Description:
File documents the Open Space Utilisation Programme, [Stratford?], England, for client Joan Littlewood. The project proposed using a vacant lot for "variable community activities", and possibly for the installation of temporary structure(s). The full scope of the project cannot be determined from the drawing and the correspondence in this file. Material in this file was produced in 1972. File contains a reference drawing and textual records.

AP164.S1.2004.D7
Description:
The project series documents the commission for the remodelling of exhibition halls and the show-room for the Pepe Cobo art gallery, Madrid, Spain. The original structure was kept during the construction. The firm identified this project as number 185. See also the project "Galería de Pepe Cobo" (AP164.S1.2003.D8). Documenting the project are digital materials which have not yet been processed.

Description:
Sketch studies by Goldsmith executed in Mies van der Rohe's class, Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago: The subjects include farm and vernacular buildings, and studies for golf and country club houses. Included are lecture notes, correspondence, and a scholarship form. Note: Individual titles for some of the drawings were assigned during preparation of the CCA exhibition "Myron Goldsmith, Poet of Structure", 1991.

DR1986:0704
Description:
- DR1986:0704X represents a bird's-eye view of an imagined zoological garden. In the foreground, immediately behind an iron and stone fence, appear a series of small, whimsical structures in a Chinese or mixed Chinese-Indian style. These structures, together with their adjoining enclosures, house a variety of animals and are scattered among a number of fountains, ponds and clustered shrubs. - In the middle ground, on the central axis of the garden, rises a long, two-storey structure with a large, projecting pavilion in the centre and a tower at either end. Both levels of this structure are encased in verandas and the end towers and central pavilion are capped with pointed domes in an Indian style. The oval area before this structure is enclosed by two curved colonnades open on both sides and supporting a peaked, tile roof. This construction is obviously an orientalized version of St. Peter's Colonnade in Rome. - Further back and behind the long structure occur additional pavilions in a Chinese style, most notably a three-storey pagoda. On axis, and still further back, rises a second long, palace-like structure, sketched in a vaguely Mogul style. The entire ensemble is set in a nondescript, generalized landscape.

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.
