Description:
Album PH1986:0900.14 comprises 58 photographs of a private mansion located on square Frère-Orban and on Rue de la Science in Brussels, Belgium, designed by Michel Roux-Spitz. Photographs include 5 elevations of the building (PH1986:0900.14:001-PH1986:0900.14:004 are signed and dated by Michel Roux-Spitz), views of the building site, exterior views of the building, the courtyard, details of the windows and the doors. Interior views showing the staircases, living rooms with bookcases and furniture, fireplaces (one with ornamentation in bas-relief signed by A. Jamiot), several details of bas-relief ornamentations, 2 views of a dining room with a painted scene on walls and views of a hallway with a sculpture are included. Further research may confirm that some of these views are from the Litolff apartment referring to an apartment located on rue de Litolff in Paris, France.

Reference number:

Description:
This series contains chronologically-arranged papers, photographs and drawings concerning Goldsmith's life from about the time of his enrollment at the Armour Institute in Chicago, to the mid-1950s when he returned from Europe to America to join Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. These documents are records of Goldsmith's early influences, and his education and training as an architect at the Armour Institute (later the Illinois Institute of Technology) and at the University of Rome. The papers also concern his service as an structural engineer in the U.S. armed forces, work in the office of Mies van der Rohe, and travels in Europe in the early 1950's all of which could be also considered as part of his education. The documents in this series are interesting for the quantity of Goldsmith's student sketches and research notes, including lectures by and observations on Mies van der Rohe and Pier Luigi Nervi. Moreover, correspondence, notes and photographs reveal a variety of other important influences on the young Goldsmith, such as a pilgrimage to visit Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesan East, and letters to Buckminister Fuller. Of particular interest are the papers concerning Mies van der Rohe as teacher, mentor and friend to Goldsmith. The fonds contains various documents from office files, including Goldsmith's notations on projects like the Farnsworth House, and collections of period photographs and blueprints of Mies' buildings and furniture designs. Related documentation on Mies exists in various files throughout the fonds, especially in the Mies van der Rohe Centennial Project located in Series 3: Professional Activities - Teaching. The last section in this series, Papers and Correspondence, which consists of personal and business papers dating from the late 1950's to the mid-1990's. This material includes the Goldsmith-Ferris Portfolio, a collection of 150 mounted photographs (possibly for an exhibition) that presents mostly Goldsmith's collaborative work with architect James Ferris, from the experimental projects in reinforced concrete in Rome to the Kitt Peak Solar Telescope of 1962. Also included are documents concerning Mies van der Rohe's Mansion House Square scheme as revived by architect Peter Carter (1982-84).

Description:
The Twin Parks, Bronx, New York, N.Y. (1967) project series documents the participation of Giovanni Pasanella in the development and execution of housing projects in the Twin Parks West and Twin Parks East areas of the Bronx. In 1967, Giovanni Pasanella collaborated with Jonathan Barnett, Jaquelin Robertson, Richard Weinstein and Myles Weintraub on the "Twin Parks Study". The researchers identified underused sites that could be developed and buildings that could be rehabilitated in the East Tremont area. A plan focussing on two areas--Twin Parks West and Twin Parks East--was developed in collobaration with a group of local religious organizations called the Twin Parks Association. Between 1970 and 1973 a number of sites in the Twin Parks area were developed by different government agencies and designed by different architects. Giovanni Pasanella was selected to design Sites 8, 5-7, 10-12 and 6 in Twin Parks West for the New York State Urban Development Corporation (UDC). He was also chosen to design housing for Site 1-2 of Twin Parks West for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and he was selected as architect for Twin Parks East--a project composed of housing and a school--developed by the New York City Educational Construction Fund. The project series is arranged in four subseries. The documents related to the Twin Parks Study constitute the first subseries. A second subseries is related to the drawings for the built works in Twin Parks West that were designed for the UDC. Drawings for the apartment building designed for the NYCHA constitute the third subseries and the drawings for Twin Parks East constitute the fourth subseries.
