Project
AP206.S1.1960.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Tagore Theatre in Sector 18 in Chandigarh, India from 1960-1962. This project consisted of a 600-seat theatre comprised of two square-shaped volumes, turned on their axis to overlap at their corners. The stage was located directly at the overlap, with the back-of-house occupying one square and the audience in the other. Inside, the roof frame was left exposed and meticulous detail was paid to the theatre's acoustics. The building's brick exterior had almost no windows, except those located along the first-level below a canopy that wrapped the theatre. Large-scale alterations have since been made to the iconic theatre. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1949-2001. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies, but many are annotated. There are a number of drawings dating from 1999-2001 that likely show future work to the theatre, since they are outside the scope of the theatre's original construction. The textual records consist of research on theatre design, dating much earlier than this project, and a magazine review of the acoustics in the Tagore Theatre.

Description:
The city of Rotterdam commissioned a building project for 1005 dwellings for a housing development plan. The plan was based on the design for Spangen Blocks VIII & IX, along with the addition of a balcony behind the kitchen. Oud was requested to make pen and ink drawings of the design by H.J. Jansen and L.F. Duquet (Taverne et al. 2001, 240-246). Project series includes drawings of the plans for the housing estate as well as photographs of exterior views of the housing estate.

CI005.S1.1933.PR2
Description:
Between 1933-1935, Oud undertook the redesign of his own study within his private home in Amsterdam. Oud designed two armchairs, a tiled hearth, two cupboards and a chest.
