Description:
The director of the Metz & Co interior design firm, Joseph de Leeuw, commissioned furniture designs from several prominent Dutch artists and architects, including Oud, Van der Leck and Rietveld. Oud's four chair designs were featured in the company's exhibition, "Steel Furniture in 1934." The chairs were made of steel frames; the third chair featured angular rear supports with sharp front angles adjoining the front, while in the fourth, the chair front and rear leg supports were crossed. Oud also designed four more chair types in 1934, including the 07 series, which received critical acclaim (Taverne et al. 2001, 375-377). Project series includes drawings of sketch perspectives of chairs, a sketch plan for a house and unidentified details, possibly for Metz & Co, as well as photographs of the chairs.

Description:
The Professional papers series, circa 1950-2008, records the professional activities of Aditya Prakash throughout his career up until his death in 2008. His work in architecture, art, photography, academia and theatre are documented through textual records, drawings, photographic materials, ephemera, books, serials and sound recordings. The earliest materials in this series show Prakash’s interest in architectural photography early in his career through photographs, slides, and negatives taken by him. These materials, dating from before 1970, show most prominently his projects, people, villages and cityscapes. Materials dating from after 1968 show Prakash’s move into academia and his solo architectural career. During this time, the records document Prakash’s research interests on subjects such as urbanization, Chandigarh, the Modular and the environment, through drawings, newspaper articles, government and committee reports, correspondence and presentation materials. Likewise, his teaching is recorded through overhead transparencies, drawings and notes. The series also shows Prakash’s involvement in the professional community, including event photographs, correspondence and records documenting conferences, events and his discussion group Our Get Togethers. Correspondence with architect Charles Correa and frequent letters between Prakash and writer Mulk Raj Anand are of note here. Apart from his architectural career, Prakash’s work as a modern artist is well recorded through drawings, sketchbooks, and photographic reproductions of his art, mostly dating from after 1980. His interest in art as well as his community involvement are documented through exhibition ephemera, correspondence, and exhibition reviews and writings on his artwork. His role as the president of the Lalit Kala Akademi is also documented through publications, event photographs and correspondence. Finally, Prakash’s involvement in theatre, specifically with his amateur theatre troop Abhinet, is captured through scripts, photographs of performances and play reviews.

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.

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.

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.
