Description:
Series 1, Three Dimensional Trading Floor, 1990 - 2009, relates to Asymptote Architecture’s design of a virtualized NYSE Trading Floor that visualized real-time numerical and statistical data. This series includes textual, born-digital, and audiovisual components, as well as digital artefacts, and chiefly dates from 1997 to 2002. The intent of the New York Stock Exchange Three Dimensional Trading Floor (3DTF) was to detect suspicious trading activity, track the impact of global news events on the market and potentially predict a crash before it happened. In order to achieve this technically, Asymptote worked with Silicon Graphics Incorporated (SGI) RealityEngine hardware which had been built specifically for these visualization-intensive applications. They also worked with Softimage and Alias software for modeling, rendering and animating, and VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) and Macromedia Flash in order to integrate real-time data into a navigable three-dimensional environment. The main elements of the virtual environment include posts, containers, and back wall. The two container types, Index Container (IC) and Group Container (GC), allow for visualization and comparison of stock histories and behaviors. The posts display stock information, corresponding heat maps on floors, and alerts. The back wall integrates live news broadcasts. Materials in this series are largely digital and primarily include still raster images and video demonstrating 3DTF functionality. There is also a small body of CAD material in Maya, Alias, Microstation, and Form-Z formats. Other digital materials include Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML) files, HTML files, Silicon Graphics Images databases, research material, press kits, presentations, and handout files. The textual records are largely materials that were handed out at presentation meetings for each phase of the project. These typically illustrate major virtual components of 3DTF, like the heat maps and posts, and overlap significantly with the related digital files. There is also one VHS tape which compiles nearly twenty minutes of animated renderings. Finally, this series includes 43 CDs. The CDs were processed and are included as part of the digital records; the CDs themselves were kept in instances where they may have artefactual value, especially if they were visually interesting or informationally important.

DR1989:0015:062
Description:
- This drawing shows a section through the kitchen of the main building for the new wing, identified in comparison with the plan DR1989:0015:049. This drawing also shows a superimposed plan for the chimney at the first-floor level, c. and temporary corridors for use during the construction, l.l. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.

Description:
The project series documents the design and construction of the general services building for the Universidad de Extremadura. In 1999, Abalos & Herreros in collaboration with Fomento won first prize at a competition held for enterprises. The firm identified this project as number 117. “Giving the hard climatic conditions, the building is wrapped in an artificial and natural dual filter of adjustable lattices surrounded by a ring a trees (Ginkos Bilobas) […] On the roof, two turrets house relaxation rooms for the teaching staff, rooms that open onto a garden surrounded by a training track, thus creating an open-air area with views over the lowlands of the [River] Guadiana and the city” (ARCH270971). In the documentation, the project is often referred to as “Edificio administrativo y de nuevas titulaciones de la Universidad de Extremadura” or “Administration building and new graduate facilities for the University of Extremadura”. The firm worked with Ángel Jaramillo, Uriel Fogué, Renata Sentkiewicz, Jacob Hense and Obiol y Moya for the account of the Consejería de Educación, Ciencia y Tecnología, Junta de Extremadura. Documenting the project are presentation and working drawings, and photographic materials.

Description:
The project series documents the entry for a competition organised by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The firm identified this project as number 187. “The Learning Center occupies the closest point to the two existing pedestrian accesses and distributes its programme in two large pieces: the green platform which puts in relation the different levels of mobility and houses the active program and the helix which defines the library as a huge ascending space which winds around itself at the interior as well as exterior culminating in an observatory which contains a restaurant. An isolated pavilion emerges over the green platform as a scenic counterpoint. […] Three materials: water, lawn and show form the base of the choice of materials and chromatic proposal supported by a regular structure of white concrete.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros and Renata Sentkiewicz worked with Olivia de Oliveira, Blaise Sahy, Verónica Meléndez, Juanju González Castellón, Rubén Briongos and Teresa Galí. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development and presentation drawings, cartographic, graphic, photographic and reference materials, correspondence, and presentation documents.

Description:
The project series documents the entry for a competition organised by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The firm identified this project as number 187. “The Learning Center occupies the closest point to the two existing pedestrian accesses and distributes its programme in two large pieces: the green platform which puts in relation the different levels of mobility and houses the active program and the helix which defines the library as a huge ascending space which winds around itself at the interior as well as exterior culminating in an observatory which contains a restaurant. An isolated pavilion emerges over the green platform as a scenic counterpoint. […] Three materials: water, lawn and show form the base of the choice of materials and chromatic proposal supported by a regular structure of white concrete.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros and Renata Sentkiewicz worked with Olivia de Oliveira, Blaise Sahy, Verónica Meléndez, Juanju González Castellón, Rubén Briongos and Teresa Galí. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development and presentation drawings, cartographic, graphic, photographic and reference materials, correspondence, and presentation documents.

Born in Schwerin, Germany in 1985, Goesch studied architecture at the Technische Hochschule at Berlin-Charlottenburg.
