Description:
Oud was one of several renown international architects invited to submit entries for the design of a hotel in the centre of Brno, Czechoslovakia. Ultimately the submitted entries never came to completion, although Oud's design was published in a contemporary journal. Oud's plans featured an eight-storey building, a smaller back section. The building would comprehend 28 rooms, with a ground floor that featured one wing with a swimming pool adjoined by a courtyard to a restaurant wing. Oud favoured a functional design to avoid competing with the area's surrounding historic buildings. (Taverne et al. 2001, 347). Project series includes Oud's plans for Hotel Stiassni.

Description:
Oud lectured in 1924-1925 in Prague and Brno on 'The Development of Modern Architecture in the Netherlands' where he made contact with contemporary international architects involved in avant-garde artists circles. As a result of his lecture tours, Oud was commissioned in 1928 to design an apartment building for a private client in Brno, Czechoslovakia. Oud designed a building where each floor consisted of a single dwelling with a communal ground floor that featured shared and functional spaces. The servants' dwelling occupied a separate wing and met with the residential dwellings at the communal staircase and lobby (Taverne et al. 2001, 319). Project series includes drawings of floor plans and elevations.

Description:
This series contains materials related to Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment (CASE) meetings. Founded in the early 1960s, CASE was an organization of American East Coast architecture schools that sought to create a dialogue on the state of architecture with a focus on architectural practice and teaching. In 1964, Frampton participated in the first Princeton University CASE meeting, which is documented by the three tape reels in this series. Also included in this series are a program and invitations from Peter Eisenman for the CASE 8 meeting (1971) that was held at MoMA, New York. The invitations include a note with the names of who each invitation was sent to.

Description:
This project series documents the Edifício Zaida Habitação e Comércio in Granada, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 98/90. The office assigned the dates 1998-2006 to this project. The project was divided in three components, each represented in the following project subseries: the Zaida building (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS1), the Caja Rural de Granada (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS2) and the Casa Pátio (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS3). The project, realized with local architect Juan Domingo Santos, redeveloped three ajacent parcels of land that faced the Plaza Puerta Real. This included the demolition of the nineteenth century Zaida Hotel that existed on the site and the incorporation of an existing nineteenth century courtyard style home (Casa Pátio). The project was built in two phases, beginning with the Zaida building in phase 1 and continuing with the Casa Pátio in phase 2. The Zaida building was six-storeys with commerical and office spaces on the first three levels and residential dwellings on the upper three. The two bottom floors of the building's exterior were constructed from grey stone, while the top four storeys were white stucco. The bank branch Caja Rural de Granada was located on the ground level of the building. While the architect sought to save and preserve the Casa Pátio, eventually it had to be reinterpretted and attached to the main volume. It was integrated with the main building using the same white stucco exterior.
