AP018.S1.1968.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the College E building at York University in North York, Ontario from 1968-1969. The office identified the project number as 68007. This project, referred to as College E Academic and Dining Complex, consisted of a three-level building with a basement and mechanical penthouse. This project was built by John B. Parkin Associates, in a joint venture with Gordon S. Adamson Associates and Shore & Moffat and Partners. These three architecture firms formed a joint venture known as UPACE (University Planners Architects And Consulting Engineer). This project was part of a larger master plan by UPACE, which built more than a dozen buildings for the university during this time. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1969. These were a set of construction plans, details, elevations, sections, schedules and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings.

Description:
The Rotterdam building inspectorate, Bouwpolite & Woningdienst, rejected the original plans for the design of the Café de Unie by a private developer, and instead commissioned Oud, as municipal architect, to design the building on Calandplein. This design marked a departure for Oud from public and private buildings to the design of a commercial building. Oud's design incorporated advertisement from its conception as he designed a facade of boards, cement, and glass with an illuminated sign – this was in keeping with the contemporary aesthetic of De Stijl, which explored creative uses of advertisement. Oud designed the signs to be turned inward, to draw attention away from the surrounding buildings, and incorporated bright colours (Taverne et al. 2001, 342). Project series includes drawings of plans as well as photographs of exterior views and of the principal facade of the Café de Unie.

CI005.S1.1949.PR1
Description:
Vredenburg Square – originally designed by H.P. Berlage in 1919 – had become problematic for traffic congestion; the problem was compounded by the erection of the Jaarbeurs Exhibition Complex. Utrecht city council commissioned Oud to design a square with architect C. Wegener Sleeswijk. Oud modified Sleeswijk's original expansion plan to create a design for a twelve-storey tower block that would take up less space and open up the southeast side of the square. In addition to the Jaarbeurs tower, Oud suggested placing more emphasis on the square's entrance. Oud also modified the traffic routes and created a semi-circular facade across from a secretariat. Although the city council approved Oud's plan in 1951, his design was unrealized as the council ultimately commissioned another architectural firm's design (Taverne et al. 2001, 472-473). Project series includes plans for the Vredenburg development.

Description:
Oud was commissioned by the Bio Holiday Centre Foundation to create a rehabilitation centre for under-privileged children. While Oud was appointed as the sole project architect, he was advised by a committee of health care workers and a national construction advisory body, Bouwcentrum. Oud used the Bouwcentrum blueprint as a basis for his design. Oud's design featured pavilions, accommodation for 120 patients, staff accommodation, a sports building and a clinic. Ten pavilions were dedicated to children's accommodation. In Oud's revised plan of 1955, the main building, boiler house and sports building were prominently displayed and flanked by the pavilions. The boiler house/caretaker's dwelling were prominently positioned according to the client's wishes. Although Oud designed a chapel, it was not built (Taverne et al. 2001, 511-514).
