Description:
Series 4, Une architecture des humeurs, 2008-2011, documents the conception and the presentation of exhibition and project Une architecture des humeurs. Presented at Le laboratoire art gallery in Paris between January and May 2010, Une architecture des humeurs is a conceptual, unbuilt, residential urban structure based on a potential future in which contemporary science reads human physiology and chemical balance. The idea is to acquire a chemistry of the “humors”, or the moods and temperament, of future purchasers. Taken as input, the information generates a diversity of habitable morphologies and relationships between them. With this process, the project attempts to make palpable and graspable, through technologies, the emotions of the participants captured via the chemistry of their body. The goal is to gather information on their capacity of adaptation, their level of sympathy and empathy while confronted to a situation or an environment. This information is then analyzed by computational, mathematical, and machinist procedures. This leads to the design and production of an urban structure submitted to the improbable and uncertain protocols produced by emotions, also creating aggregations and layouts that rearticulate the links between the individual and the collective. These structures are calculated following simultaneously incremental and recursive structural optimization protocols resulting in the physicality and morphology of architecture. The layout of the residential units and the structural trajectories are conceived and developed as posterior to the constructs supporting social life and not as an a priori. The structure of each components of the urban structure is generated by a secretion and weaving machine called Viab02. The machine is the second prototype of VIAB which was developed with Robotics Research Lab of the University of Southern California and takes its name from the terms viability and variability. With a process similar to contour crafting, the machine produces bio-cement, a mix between cement and bio-resin, giving form to the adapted residential structures. The records consist largely of images detailing the creative process of the firm, photographs of the exhibition, and 3D models. It also contains animated renderings representing the machine in action and sequences of the construction of the building or the structure. The records include a video orienting the project into François Roche theoretical stance, research as speculation, that can be summarize as the use of technological tools to take a critical and political position through esthetic in order to open new lines of thoughts. AP193.S2 contains updated previous version of the VIAB machine

Pettena's thesis was on the urban requalification of the Santa Croce area in Florence damaged by a flood in 1966. For this project Pettena was "influcenced by the many visionary proposals of 'cities of the future' of the early '60s" [1] The project series contains project descriptions in English and in Italian, and scanned copies of drawings by Pettena for his thesis at the end of the 1960s.

This project series documents the Casa sul Lungomare, an unrealized project for the restauration of a historic three-storey house on Lungamore in Otranto, Italy. This project was undertaken in the context of the Piano di recupero di Otranto, an urban renewal scheme for the north-east sector of the historic centre of Otranto. Riva worked on this project from 1986-1987. The project series contains studies for the historic building and design development drawings, including exterior elevations, floor plans, and sections. It also contains presentation drawings showing the proposed scheme, including site plans, elevations, and plans of the existing buildings in the Piano di recupero di Otranto.

CI005.S1.1919.PR3
Description:
The post-First World War shortage of affordable housing led the city of Rotterdam to initiate low income dwelling developments to alleviate the crisis in housing for working class residents. Oud's involvement with the Rotterdam Housing Authority -- the Rotterdam Woningdienst -- allowed him to use public housing projects as a platform for his ideas about urban development, including this design for a semi-detached dwelling in reinforced concrete. Oud's plans were never realized as Rotterdam only experimented with concrete building projects later, in 1921 (Taverne et al. 2001,191, 210-212). The project series includes Oud's drawings of plans for the Double Worker's Dwelling in Reinforced Concrete.
