Description:
Oud was commissioned to design the Tweede Vrijzinnig Christelijk Lyceum. Oud designed the school within the larger parameters of the Reconstruction Plan for Sportlaan; he presented his design to the board in 1950. Oud's design aligned with reconstruction plans, except that he designed a four- rather than a three-storey building. Oud's layout featured three blocks: one for classrooms and an auditorium, another for classrooms, and the last one for a gymnasium – this building connected to the main wing by circular stairs. Each of the three separate blocks was surrounded by a playground. The street side facades were closed in contrast to the open facades facing the playground. Oud's design also featured visual art and sculptures (Taverne et al. 2001, 533-535). Project series includes plans and photographs of facades and aerial views. , 12 drawings 11 photographs

Description:
Oud was commissioned by the Bio Holiday Centre Foundation to create a rehabilitation centre for under-privileged children. While Oud was appointed as the sole project architect, he was advised by a committee of health care workers and a national construction advisory body, Bouwcentrum. Oud used the Bouwcentrum blueprint as a basis for his design. Oud's design featured pavilions, accommodation for 120 patients, staff accommodation, a sports building and a clinic. Ten pavilions were dedicated to children's accommodation. In Oud's revised plan of 1955, the main building, boiler house and sports building were prominently displayed and flanked by the pavilions. The boiler house/caretaker's dwelling were prominently positioned according to the client's wishes. Although Oud designed a chapel, it was not built (Taverne et al. 2001, 511-514). Project series contains a photograph of exterior view of the Bio Convalescent Centre

CI005.S1.1946.PR1
Description:
In order to better coordinate numerous war memorial committees, the Dutch national government instituted a Central Commission for War and Peace Memorials. The commission initiated a national monument project in 1946 with the direction of J. Henrick Muller, who chose Dam Square, Amsterdam, for its site. The existing plan drew on an existing municipal Amsterdam memorial. Sculptor John Raedecker designed a sculpture group supported by an obelisk and Oud was enlisted by Raedecker to create the memorial's spatial design for the sculptures and urns. Oud chose the memorial site opposite the palace in Dam Square. Despite pressure to change the site position, the committee submitted Oud's design and it was approved in 1950. The sculptures and monument were completed in 1956 with an opening ceremony held in May (Taverne et al. 2001, 457-460). Project series includes partial sections and plans showing sculptures by Raedecker.

Weaver software
AP174.S2
Description:
This series contains records relating to Weaver, a software script developed by the Emergent Design Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and written in Maya Embedded Language (MEL) for Alias|Wavefront Maya. Weaver algorithmically generates woven strands and applies these strands to a surface within a 3D design model. The resulting weaves “can be complex, and depend on both the description of the weaver pattern and the topology of any user-defined surface or scaffolding in Maya on which Weaver is applied.”[1] The records in this series date from approximately 2001-2004 and include the script in Maya Executable Language (MEL) and standalone executable formats, annotated source code, tutorials, and file outputs such as images and Maya 3D models. Sources: [1] Testa, Peter and Devyn Weiser. “Material Agency,” in Network Practices: New Strategies in Architecture and Design. New York: Princeton Architectural Press (2007): 128.

AP056.S1.1995.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the Pavilions Condominiums, later referred to as the H2O Condominiums, in Toronto from 1995-1999. The office identified the project number as 9505. This project consisted of the design of four large condo buildings located on the shoreline of Lake Ontario at 500 Queens Quay West. The first two buildings, with an exterior of concrete, red brick and glass, were completed and occupied in the spring of 1999. The two eleven-storey towers were connected in a U-shape by a smaller building, creating a courtyard at their centre. Two more towers were scheduled for completion in 2001, but they were never built. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1995-1997. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details. There are also some reprographic copies of watercolour paintings in the materials.

Description:
The Netherlands Congress Centre owed its genesis to architect-town planner, W.M. Dudok, who suggested creating a cultural centre for international conferences. In 1956 an ad hoc committee proposed the creation of a congress centre and invited Oud, in 1956, to design a centre that would incorporate a 3000 seat conference hall as well as other rooms for functions and events. Oud created a detailed design in 1958 that featured a seventeen-storey tower with hotel rooms. Oud amended his plans somewhat, creating an oval-shaped conference hall. In 1960 Oud further revised his design to reduce the main hall seating to 1500, and also designated it for use of theatrical events. Oud died in 1963 before the completion of construction. He was replaced by his son, Hans Oud, until the congress centre was erected in 1969 (Taverne et al. 2001, 544-546). Project series includes plans for the Congress Hall Complex.
