Description:
File documents a consultancy project related to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) running from London to Folkestone, England. Price was employed by the engineering firm Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick and Partners to give design input on structures they designed for a stretch of the CTRL including crossings at Boxley, the River Medway, and about 50 smaller ones. Material in this file was produced in 1961 and between 1989 and 1992, but predominantly between 1989 and 1990. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, reference drawings, photographs, and textual records.

Description:
Cette sous-série porte sur le travail documentaire photographique de Robert Duchesnay du dôme géodésique Union Tank Car Dome près de Baton Rouge, Louisiane, aux États-Unis. Conçu par Buckminster Fuller et construit en 1958. Durant près de 30 ans, le dôme détient le record du monde de la plus grande structure autopportante et mesure 384 pieds de diamètre et 120 pieds de hauteur. Le dôme était utilisé pour la réparation et l'entretien de wagon-citernes pour le transport de pétrole. Le bâtiment est fermé et abandonné en 1990 pour être démoli en 2007. La sous-série contient dix photographies, de l'intérieur et de l'extérieur, prise par Robert Duchesnay en 1990. Source: Duchesnay, Robert.

Saat Rasta
AP182.S1.2012.D2
Description:
File documents an executed project for a live-work complex in Mumbai, India, that reuses the structure of an existing fire-damaged warehouse. The name of the project, Saat Rasta, translates literally to Seven Roads, a reference to a nearby roundabout. The site is immediately adjacent to the Central railroad as well as an informal housing settlement, qualities which made the location undesirable for developers. To adhere to zoning regulations, the design recoups the warehouse's original basalt stone perimeter wall. Brick infill delineates the units, while new wood-frame and cement-panel walls shape interior spaces. Each unit contains one or two courtyards, the roofs of which tilt inward to capture rain and avoid draining water on the surrounding housing. The courtyards also allow for the growth of local vegetation, especially Goolar figs, which had overgrown on the site before its redevelopment. File contains photographs, drawings, and a model.

AP144.S2.D112
Description:
File documents a project for a private residence in Australia which Price designed to provide unlimited functional options by means of a variable open frame structure with insertable module components. Photographs of various views of the existing site were apparently used for reference purposes by Price during the design development process. Conceptual and design development drawings include both original drawings and reprographic copies: elevations show the timber and corrugated metal construction and preliminary construction details; axonometric drawings explore open/closed and roof on/off options; floor plans show circulation patterns in color; and alternate bathroom and service modules are shown primarily in plan. Two photographs of the model (DR2004:0379) were mislabelled by Price's office with the Pertpavs project (AP144.S2.D124). Material in this file was produced between 1981 and 1984. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, a presentation model, photographic materials and textual records.
