Alessandro Poli fonds
Reference number:
AP148
Synopsis:
The Alessandro Poli fonds documents the work of Italian architect, designer and artist Alessandro Poli. Born in Fiesole in 1941, Poli studied architecture at the University of Florence, and was a member of Superstudio from 1970 to 1972. Poli’s involvement with Superstudio and engaged research on material culture constitute two strong components of his archive.

Housing Research
Reference number:
AP144.S2.D67
Description:
File documents Housing Research on flexible, pre-fabricated, short-life housing in the United Kingdom. Much of the material developed for this project was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 4", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (October 1971), 619-628; 630, and "Cedric Price Supplement No. 5", 'Architectural Design', vol. 42, (January 1972), 24-29; 38-43. Although the research was sponsored by Cedric Price it is possible that he presented the results to the Ministry of Housing. The published research examines housing's "life patterning" potential within broader social, economic, and historical contexts. Some of the material also relates to Steel House (AP144.S2.D60). Cedric Price developed proposals for two test sites: Rochdale in Greater Manchester and Tilbury in Thurrock, England. Material in this file was produced between 1951 and 1998, but predominantly between 1967 and 1971. File contains material and research by Royston Landau. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, layout, maps, model, photographic materials, presentation panels, and textual records.

Description:
Series consists of records documenting two of Kivi Sotamaa and OCEAN North’s projects: the Open Arena – Töölö Football Stadium and the Terra Cultura – Jyväskylä Music and Art Centre. Both projects were international architectural competitions worked on concurrently in 1997. The collaborative process around these projects allowed exploring design methods through the usage of digital tools. Records, for the most part, consist of digital files and show the design process for both projects. In discussions with Greg Lynn, Johan Bettum and Kivi Sotamaa have expressed that they had broached Töölö as a landscape and Jyväskylä as a cloud. Altogether, this vision is visible in the digital drawings for both projects, although more predominantly in the Jyväskylä records which also includes detailed plans. For both projects, digital drawings and models were created using CAD software (Microstation, form*Z, 3D Studio). Many drawings were saved exclusively as raster or vector images. Project records include physical drawings. For Töölö, drawings show mainly the work on the shape of the structure and include printouts from CAD drawings. These are partial plans and sections. The records for Jyväskylä include sections and plans of the different levels of the building as well as an annotated sketch. Textual records in Series 2 provide more context for the design process and the creation and use of methodologies such as particle streaming, used in the design process for Jyväskylä, and Channelling Systems, used in the design process for Töölö.
