Project
AP207.S1.1971.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's movie "Intens, Progetto d'Architettura", produced in 1971. The movie consists of a three minutes sequence of Pettena sitting at a drawing board while doing various things except working on a design. "The film ironically represents the attitude of indifference shown by those who had to use the usual instruments to practice architecture." [1] The project series contains printouts of film stills, project descriptions in English and in Italian, and a digital version of the film. An online version of the "Intens, Progetto d'Architettura" can be found on Gianni Pettena website (see https://www.giannipettena.it/italiano/opere-1/ff-intens-1971-1/).

ARCH286670
Description:
This item contains harmful materials including violent and racist imagery. The drawing illustrates an installation involving a crane on which a net filled with mannequins is suspended; the mannequins are painted black, in the words of the designers, to represent the impacts of oil spills on the global population. This image, however, suggests violence beyond environmental disasters.

AP027.S1
Description:
The abbreviation "n.c.", which represents "no client", occasionally appears in the project descriptions. This indicates that the client is unknown for that particular project or that the project was initiated by Van Ginkel Associates. Throughout its practice, Van Ginkel Associates devoted much of its time to research and design projects that were generated and paid for by the firm itself. Several of these projects were initiated by members of the staff. Project drawings, because of the multi-disciplinary nature of the firm's work and the scale of some of its commissions, differ greatly in extent, content, format, and size. The drawings therefore have been kept in their original groupings. The original titles assigned to the material by the creators while stored in tubes was transferred to their present folders.
