Chinese urban theorist Xiangning Li examines the themed spaces in the city’s post-colonial context, relating them to Shanghai’s contemporary urban culture and situating them within the changing dynamics between(...)

Project
Snake
AP144.S2.D129
Description:
Project series documents a project for a gigantic movable outdoor museum in the middle of a long-steppe landscape at the foot of a huge mountain ridge in Australia. The museum was designed specifically to display an enormous 120-piece painting by Sydney Nolan entitled Snake. This file includes some preliminary drawings exploring the introduction of Snake into the urban setting of the Pertpavs project (project series AP144.S2.D124 in this fonds), and possibly also the mingling of elements of both projects. Material in this file was produced in 1984. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, and textual records.

Rehri study, India (1972)
AP206.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
This project series documents proposed improvements to the rehri, small carts used as mobile stores, in India around 1972. While rehri were technically illegal, they outnumbered traditional stores in urban areas at this time. Prakash studied their use and effect on city life and argued for the improvement of their design in order to elevate the rehriwallas (rehri owners) and improve conditions in the city. Prakash studied the rehri throughout his time as principal at the Chandigarh College of Architecture. This project is recorded through a reprographic copy of a drawing of improved rehri designs dating from around 1972.

CI005.S1.1926.PR1
Description:
In 1925 committee members from trade, shipping and commerce, in partnership with Rotterdam city council, initiated the competition for the design of a new stock exchange building. The jury consisted of three architects, as well as two members of the Exchange committee. Oud's submission to the Rotterdam Exchange competition included designs for the new building and surrounding urban area, although his entry was unsuccessful. Oud created a functional and non-symbolic design based on a three-dimensional grid (Taverne et al. 2001, 350-354). Project series includes drawings of plans for the exchange as well as photographs of the drawings.
