DR1988:0433:012
Description:
- Abrasion marks at the t. indicate that the finial on the tallest turret of the great tower was erased. - One of a group of working drawings for William Burn's October 1849 project for Fonthill House, Wiltshire, a country house designed in the Jacobethan style. This group represents only one of the projects that Burn proposed for Fonthill House; the final project, executed in 1856, was much smaller (Walker, 31, illustrated in Hitchcock, vol. 2, fig. VIII 31). Drawings include plans, elevations, and sections, as well as full-scale drawings of masonry details. Approximately half of the drawings are part of a numbered series from one to twenty-two, while the other drawings, mostly masonry details, were not numbered. These latter drawings are not as carefully finished, and a few are incomplete.

Publications
AP164.S2
Description:
This series documents publications by Ábalos&Herreros and by the firm's publishing house Liga Multimedia Internaciónal (LMI). It includes a doctoral thesis “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas; a book series titled “Exit”; writings about the firm for an issue of 2G: International Architecture Review, no. 22; “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros; as well as various publications by Abalos & Herreros and other authors. “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas was published at the LMI. Documenting the publication are copies of the doctoral thesis, dummies, proofs, correspondence, contracts, reports, and an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) request form. Material was produced between 1972 and 1996. The book series “Exit” was also published by the LMI. Five titles were published and a sixth was in development, when the project was abandoned for unknown reasons. The publications in the series were titled: Exit 1: Exit; Exit 2: Las Afueras : siete visiones de la vida metropolitana; Exit 3: Le Corbusier. Rascacielos; Exit 4: [unknown]; and Exit 5: Natural artificial. Exit 2’s project title was “Madrid Metrópolis” and was changed later to “Las Afueras […]”. However, Abalos & Herreros did publish a book entitled “Madrid Metrópolis”, but there is no relation between the two publications. Documenting the book series are correspondence, a dummy, publications, notes, clippings, plans, invoices, contracts, and reference, digital, graphic and photographic materials. The publication “Abalos & Herreros” featured in the 2G: International architecture review, no 22 includes plans and illustrations. The issue is about Abalos & Herreros’ work from the 1990s. Documenting the publication are design development, presentation, and work drawings, as well as textual records. The publication of “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros was documented in phases of its creation. This publication was translated in English under the title “Tower and Office: from Modernist Theory to Contemporary Practice”. It was published as Buell Center / Columbia Books of Practice by MIT Press. Documenting the publication are proofs, illustrations, design development drawings, correspondence, reference and photographic materials. Various publications by Abalos & Herreros and titles published by the firm’s publishing house LMI include writings and correspondence, as well as reference, graphic and photographic materials.

Description:
- Design for the façade of a building in a style reminiscent of the Romanesque, with round arches and geometric patterns. The building resembles a church in the tripartite division of its façade into a central section flanked by two towers. The relatively small door suggests that the building is of fantastically large proportions.
