AP207.S1.2014.PR05
Description:
The project series documents the installation "Architecture Ondoyante", designed by Pettena and presented at the FRAC Lorraine in Metz, in 2014. The installation consists of hanging long strips of white plastic on the facades of the FRAC building "to confuse the well-defined and somewhat austere space of the building that hosts the FRAC, wrapping it in light and movement would have overturned the grain of static, centuries-old architecture." [1] A similar installation, "Forgiving Architecture" was realized in 2009 at the Athens Biennale. Another edition of the installation was presented in the exhibition "Gianni Pettena. About non conscious architecture" at the Galleria Giovanni Bonelli in Milan, in 2017. The project series contains three sketches, a drawing, and photographs and videos of the installation.

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.

Auditorium, Claverton Bath
AP144.S2.D41
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for a domed auditorium at Claverton in Bath, England, for the American Museum in Britain. Adapted from Buckmister Fuller's design for the Radome it was to serve as a multipurpose auditorium and exhibition space. The 250-seat auditorium was enclosed by a double dome construction which could be raised and lowered by hydraulic jacks. Design development sketches and perspective studies show various layouts for seating, and diagrams contain directions for erecting the stage and positioning the dome. A section shows the major components: the dome, both lowered and raised; the location of the hydraulic jacks, screens, and baffles; and the seating layout. Two interior perspectives show the dome both raised and lowered. Material in this file was produced between 1962 and 1964. Some perspective diagrams in the file are attributed to M. Haxworth. File contains design development drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.
