AP041.S1.1975.D2
Description:
This project series document the series FRAGMENTS is a group of photographs and mixed-media pieces depicting the frontal images of buildings in various states of neglect. Some of the photographs are altered, many are Xeroxed and drawn upon with coloured pencils. The title refers to the “elemental fragments which emerge out of the time-worn existence of buildings.” These images led to the creation of a project, Construction, 1975-1977, in which Charney explores the forms of these original buildings through sketches and then the construction of wooden sculptures.

- This unused sheet was probably prepared for a drawing for Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California. The verso of the sheet includes four discrete grids whose units each represent an equilateral parallelgram measuring 4'8" along the side and 8'0 31/32" in length. These measurements are described by Lloyd Wright in the architect's statement as the grid unit for Wayfarers' Chapel (DR1987:0869:011:009).

File documents the design for a darkroom and workshop enclosure unit for U.S.T.S. [United States Technical Services?], possibly for a temporary location in Paris, [France?]. The design calls for the use of a prefabricated aluminum scaffolding system. Reference working drawings in the textual records show the Circle-Vision 360 Travelling Show by Walt Disney Productions for which Price's design may have been intended. Material in this file was produced in 1973. Reference drawings (dated 1970) of the air dome, Circle Vision 360 Traveling Show, are by Walt Disney Productions. File contains a working drawing and textual records.
