AP206.S1.1984.PR01
Description:
This project series documents a sports complex and a building for a club and library for the Municipal Corporation of Saket (MCHS) in Meerut in 1984. The sports complex, designed to accommodate tennis, badminton, volleyball, hockey and football, consisted of a two-storey building with courts and fields around the property. The building had a sports hall at the centre of the ground floor with several small rooms connected by a veranda around it. These rooms contained bathrooms, storage, and spaces for other recreational activities. The roof of this building doubled as the stands for the football field outside, accessible from second floor terraces or via a spiraling ramp from the building's ground floor. A club and library building were also proposed across the street from the sports complex, consisting of a building with a cylindrical tower and finished in stone rubble on its façade. The project is recorded through original drawings of plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and structural drawings dating from on or around 1984.

CI005.S1.1942.PR2
Description:
In the early 1900s, Hofplein became problematic for its traffic gridlock. In 1942 Allied bombing demolished some of the area's surrounding buildings and paved the way for re-planning. Architect W.G. Witteveen proposed a reconstruction plan, as did J.A. Ringers, but Oud subsequently was delegated as supervisor of the Hofplein reconstruction plan with Jos Klijnen as architect. Oud's proposal was drawn up by 1943. Oud planned to divide Hofplein into three parts, including a circular traffic loop, an oval entertainment plaza, and an outdoor space with a café. He also proposed replacing an older tower building with a new town hall. Witteveen proposed an entirely different design and was unable to reconcile Oud to his plan; however, the city adopted an entirely new plan that was favoured by influential Rotterdam businessmen, one designed by Witteveen's assistant (Taverne et al. 2001, 429-432). Project series includes drawings of site plans for Hofplein as well as photographs of perspective drawings.

AP178.S1.1990.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the Ceramique Terrein Blocos de habitação e escritórios in Maastricht, The Netherlands. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 6/90 A/B. The office assigned the date 1990 to this project. The project is located in the Ceramique district. The industrial area was revitalized during the nineties with buildings built by international architects, including Aldo Rossi's the Bonnefanten Museum and Jo Coenen's Centre Céramique. The building is divided into three independent buildings: Block 6, Block 7, and Block 8. Block 6 is made up of commercial space on the ground floor and residential units on the other six floors. Block 8 is the biggest unit of the project, with a double tower of 16 storeys. Block 7 is a four-storey building. The project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches and plans.
