Description:
The Grebbeberg National Army Memorial was designed as a commemoration to the soldiers who lost their lives in the battle at Grebbeberg in 1940 during the Second World War. During the German occupation, the mayor of Rhenen Bosch van Rosenthal, organized a secret collection of bronze cents and used part of this collection to fund the memorial. The Grebbeberg National Army Memorial Foundation commissioned Oud for its design in 1947. The bronze coins were also melted down to create the bell for the monument that was completed by Dutch foundries in 1953. The war memorial project resulted in modification of the Grebbeberg cemetery and the design of a new monument. Oud designed a monument with a central cross flanked by two stone lions on an inscribed pedestal. At the other end of the memorial, segmented walls surrounded a raised amphitheatre for speeches and commemorations. The centre held the tower and the bronze bell. Modification of the cemetery began in 1949. Construction for the memorial started in 1952 and its official dedication was held in May 1953 (Taverne et al. 2001, 453-456). Project series includes plans and sections for the bell tower and monument.

Southend Roof
Reference number:
AP144.S2.D85
Description:
File documents an unexecuted design for a suspended inflatable roof over the pedestrian area of High Street in Southend-on-Sea, England, for client David Keddie. Cedric Price and Frank Newby designed a roof system that could respond to adverse weather conditions. The final proposal consists of three inflatable reinforced tubes suspended at intervals from metal posts. The tubes can be staggered irregularly to accommodate variations in the cornice heights and canopies of adjacent buildings. Conceptual sketches show preliminary sections for alternate designs for the roof, and presentation drawings show alternate designs for the roof layout. Other drawings include site plan, street layout plans, and details, including one showing a tensioned pneumatic membrane and connection details to post. Many conceptual sketches and drawings are also included within the textual records. Some material in this file was published in "Southend Roof", 'Architectural Design', October 1972, 596-597, and 'Techniques et Architecture', May-June 1975. Material in this file was produced between 1971 and 1975. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, model, photographic materials, presentation drawings, and textual records.
