Description:
File documents an executed project for a bookshop for the Biennale di Venezia, in Venice, Italy. The scheme, located in the Giardini di Castello, was designed by the office of James Stirling, Michael Wilford Associates in association with the architect Thomas Muirhead, and the firm Building Project. Material in this file was produced between 1989 and 1993. File contains some early conceptual drawings, and several design development and presentation drawings. Photographic materials include views of Italian vernacular architecture by architect Norbert Heyers, views of the completed building by photographer Dida Biggi and of the presentation model by John Donat Photography. Textual documents include correspondence with Francesco Dal Co, director of La Biennale di Venezia, Settore Architettura in 1991, and reprographic copies of working drawings. File also contains a presentation model.

Academic works
AP169.S3
Description:
Series 3, Academic works, 1995 - 2011, relates to Bernard Cache’s work as a scholar and author. This series includes born-digital material and chiefly dates from 1999 to 2007. Cache pursued and academic career, teaching and lecturing at many universities while also publishing books and articles. His area of interest revolves around computational architecture, geometrics, history of geometric, stereotomy, engineering and philosophy. These records depict his investment in the study of the relation between ancient theory and the field of computational architecture drawings with CAD or BIM software. His work concentrates on prominent figures such as Greek mathematician Euclid to Roman architect Vitruvius and German painter and theorist Albrecht Dürer. Materials in this series reflect Bernard Cache’s work as a scholar. This includes notes for his articles and lectures as well as drafts for different lectures and texts. It also contains syllabi and planning materials for classes given by Cache on Non-Standard Design and Production in Architecture. The series holds a significant amount of images used for presentation or as examples during those lectures and classes (in JPEG and BMP formats). Those images are for the most part derived from CAD original drawings in TopSolid.

Jeanneret collabore avec Jean Prouvé pour la réalisaition de ce projet. Le bâtiment consiste en un pavillon à portique axiale sur deux étages, la première structure à portique axial réalisée par Jean Prouvé. Ce projet à été présenté dans la publication spéciale "Solutions d'urgence" de la revue "Architecture d'aujourd'hui" publiée en 1945. Le dossier contient une photographie du bâtiment. File documents Pierre Jeanneret's project for a dismontable building for the offices of the draftsman of the Société centrale de alliages légers (SCAL) in Issoire, France, in 1940. Jeanneret works on this projet in collaboration with Jean Prouvé. The building consists in a two-storey pavilion with an axial gantry, the first structure of the type realized by Jean Prouvé. This project was presented in the special publication "Solutions d'urgence" of the serial "Architecture d'aujourd'hui" published in 1945. The file contains a photograph of the building.
