Description:
In 1993, the CCA invited Peter Eisenman to design an installation for the exhibition 'Cities of Artificial Excavation: The Work of Peter Eisenman, 1978-1988'. The exhibition was presented at the CCA from 2 March to 29 May 1994. The drawings and models of this group document the development of Eisenman's installation design from late 1993 through March 1994, as well as the various processes used by the architect in his investigation of the 'Cities of Artificial Excavation'. Material in this file was produced between 1993 and 1994. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, installation drawings, measured drawings, presentation drawings, publication drawings, record drawings, textual records, and models. Documents by Eisenman's office include material for schemes A and B, the first and second proposals for the installation, as well as material for the exhibition installation. Material for scheme A includes conceptual drawings (DR1994:0030:001-005), hardline design development drawings (DR1994:0030:006-011), design development computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:012-027), and fully developed drawings (DR1994:0030:028-034). Material for scheme B, a design which is closer to the final project, includes hardline drawings (DR1994:0030:035-044) and computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:045-069). Material for the exhibition installation includes: computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:070-196), which were generated to construct models for the installation, notably a preliminary model (DR1994:0035) and the final model (DR1994:0036), which was used for planning the exhibition layout; hardline drawings which are the final drawings for the installation (DR1994:0030:262-265); a preliminary exhibition layout (DR1994:0030:280); and Iris colour prints of computer-aided conceptual axonometrics (DR1994:0030:281-282). Three working models show different stages of the design development (DR1994:0031 - DR1994:0034). File contains photographs of the completed installation by Richard Pare (DR1994:0037:001-028), fragments of the installation preserved after its demolition (DR1994:0038:001-0028) and paint samples (DR1994:0038:035-037). File contains Cities of Artificial Excavation exhibition Catalogue Cover Design layouts and trial proofs. This group of material by Eisenman's office includes freehand drawings and collages for early proposals for the cover (DR1994:0029:001-003), ink drawings on Mylar of the floor plans of the four principal projects presented in the exhibition traced from diazotypes (diazotypes: DR1994:0029:014-019; ink drawings: DR1994:0029:004-010), and Iris colour prints of computer-aided drawings which Eisenman's staff used to test different colour schemes (DR1994:0029:020-030). Offset prints for the cover proposing different colour schemes were used to select the cover design used for publication (DR1994:0029:036-039).

Description:
This project series documents the unrealized design proposal for the Sperone del Guasco, in Ancona. Riva worked on this project in 1987. The project was commissioned in the context of the exhibition "Nine project projects for nine Cities" organized by the Milan Triennale. It consisted of a walled pathway climbing the Guasco hill to the San Ciriaco cathedral. Riva's proposal was later presented in the exhibition "Umberto Riva, sistemazioni urbane" in 1993, at the Pinacoteca civica Francesco Podesti in Ancona. The project series contains studies and design development drawings, including elevations, sections, and plans. It also includes a project description.

OCEAN North reference files
AP198.S2
Description:
Series consists of reference documentation in the form of portfolios of selected materials from various OCEAN North projects. It is likely that Kivi Sotamaa did not contribute to all of the included projects. For the most part, records are images of work done with CAD software: preliminary drawings; fully developed plans and renderings of buildings; landscapes; and installations. Images also include digitized photographs of models and installations. Content from AP198.S2.001 – OCEAN North Portfolio 1999 consists primarily of this type of visual material and is organized per project. Additionally, a few textual records describe some of the projects. There are two versions of a general presentation document in Pagemaker. Content from AP198.S2.002 – OCEAN North Press CD 2000 is organized into three sections: “about'OCEANnorth”, “OCEANnorth_Essays”, and “OCEANnorth_Projects”. This last directory is further organized by year and by project, each project having a text and an image sub-directory. Overall, there are 48 textual records describing the network, its vision and its projects, alongside more than 200 raster images. The Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre competition entry was not included in this project selection. The following projects are documented in this series: - Töölö Football Stadium, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Extraterrains, a furniture design project. - Finnish Embassy in Canberra, an international architectural competition entry. - Habitare Pavilion (1996 and 1997), exhibitions installations. - Chamberworks, an architectural installation for an exhibition. - a-drift NYT Time Capsule, a competition entry for a time capsule for the New York Times. - Synthetic Landscape Pavilion and Phases 1, 2 and 3, a landscape design. - Sandefjord Hotel, preliminary design. - Landscraper, design study for an exhibition. - IntenCities, multidisciplinary installation project. - Barbican’s Valo exhibition design. - Constantini (sic) Museum, a building design for a competition. - Kyoto, a study of urban design. - Jeil’s Hospital, a building design. - Urban Surfaces exhibition.
