AP207.S1.2012.PR03
Description:
The project series documents "The Curious Mr. Pettena", a series of photographs taken by Pettena during his stay in the United States from 1971 to 1973. During that time "[Pettena] discovers views and contexts which he feels near to his theoretic and visual work, a temporary architecture as well, documenting research and whatever comes from the mind, making it real, or discovering it in something already built where nature has worked so that it may become part of a common language or subject." [1] The project series contains the photograph series and a project description.

Series
AP196.S1
Description:
Series 1, Project files for competition, 2003-2004, documents the first design phase of the project originally titled Best Nest, which would later become the Ford Calumet Environmental Center. The records consist largely of digital photographs documenting the original state of the site and its surroundings. AutoCAD drawings and physical early design sketches, research and studies document the design for bird screen, column bundles, roof and environmental systems. The records also include study models for column bundles and pod layout with the screen representing the early stages of the design. The records also contain email correspondence between Studio Gang Architects and other project stakeholders, budget records, and a PowerPoint presentation and presentation model for competition final presentation.

AP164.S1
Description:
This series documents the architectural projects of Ábalos&Herreros from 1986 to 2006 and represents over 150 projects, including exhibitions. The firm worked on a wide variety of projects from commercial and residential structures to libraries and sewage treatment plants. The firm's design process was research oriented and involved conversations between Ábalos and Herreros, office collaborators, artists who partook in the projects, as well as other architects. Several projects found in this series were developed in collaboration with other architects including: José Manuel Ábalos; Salvador Pérez Arroyo; Filippo Costi; Ángel Jaramillo Esteban; Javier Fresneda; Eduardo Horta; Martín Marciano; Ángel Jaramillo Sánchez; Renata Sentkiewicz; and Héctor Vigliecca. Most projects were designed for the city of Madrid and the Community of Madrid. Projects were also developed for other sites in Spain, including the Canary Islands, as well as for sites in Portugal, Germany, the United States, and Brazil. Ábalos & Herreros often created new projects from the firm's existing work. The firm also identified their projects numerically. These identification numbers are documented at the project series level for each project. Among the materials documenting the firm's projects are conceptual, design development, presentation, and working drawings, as well as panels. There are also several CAD drawings and prints of born digital drawings. Documenting the firms conceptual process are collages and photomontages. Photographic materials included in this series depict project sites and built projects. Also included are a variety of research reference materials, correspondence, project documentation, and project submissions. Although creating models was not a common practice for the firm, there are a few project series which include models.

Description:
- The elevation, located from l.l. to l.r. of the site plan, shows the existing bridge which crosses the Stora Hamnkanalen [Big Hamn Canal] at the junction of Södra [South] and Östra [East] Hamngatan [Hamn Street]. Further research is required to determine if the elevation is of the existing bridge or if this is a design by Asplund for a new bridge.
