Description:
- This drawing shows a design for a cupboard door decorated with wood inlays. The lower portion of the door includes a landscape view which is rendered in coloured pencil. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).

Project
AP149.S1.1988.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's housing development project in Sichuan, China. The project was done in collaboration with the Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering between 1993 and 1995. The two main objectives were to train Chongqing staff to develope a new use for the land and new housing planning in rural areas. The project also led to the publication "Housing a Billion," which was published in two volumes: "Housing a Billion: Volume 1- Urban Upgrading: Design Ideals for Rural China" and "Housing a Billion: Volume 2- Village Upgrading: Jianlu, China", both published in 1993. Also includes material related to the international workshop"Rural Housing: A First Step to Market Housing" in China, to which Minimum Cost Housing Group help organized and participated to. The material in this file was produced between 1986 and 1994. The file contains predominantly textual records documenting the collaboration between the Minimum Cost Housing Group and the Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering, and also the production of the publication. The file also includes dummies, drawings, slides and other production material for the publications "Housing a Billion."

AP207.S1.1968.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's installation entitled "Carabinieri". The installation consisted of sheets of corrugated cardboard and metal stays assembled to created the three-dimensional letters of the word "Carabinieri". The final product measured about ten meters long by two meters high. It was first built in the courtyard of the Palazzo Comunale in Novara in 1968. "The construction, left out in the open, gradually degraded due to the damp and rain" [1] which made it an installation project, as well as a performance. The installation was recreated for the exhibition "Gianni Pettena. About non conscious architecture" in the Galleria Giovanni Bonelli in Milan, in 2017. This project is the first of a series of three other similar projects. The project series contains photographs of the construction of the word "Carabinieri", photographs of the final installation at the Palazzo Comunale in Novara, and one photograph of the installation at the Gallerie Giovanni Bonelli. It also inlcudes drawings, a plan of the installation, and photographs of a later model of the cardboard word. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor.

Synopsis:
The Ulrich Königs Chemnitz Stadium project records, 1995-1996, document the competition entry and design for an innovative stadium in Chemnitz, Germany. The project was a collaboration between Peter Kulka, Ulrich Königs, Cecil Balmond, and Arup Group, Ltd. The design was primarily driven by the theoretical and methodological processes made possible by computer-aided design, rather than aesthetics. The project records have both digital and physical components, which chiefly include renderings, wireframe drawings, digital 3D models, photographs, slides, video, and a booklet.
