Description:
Oud was commissioned to design the Tweede Vrijzinnig Christelijk Lyceum. Oud designed the school within the larger parameters of the Reconstruction Plan for Sportlaan; he presented his design to the board in 1950. Oud's design aligned with reconstruction plans, except that he designed a four- rather than a three-storey building. Oud's layout featured three blocks: one for classrooms and an auditorium, another for classrooms, and the last one for a gymnasium – this building connected to the main wing by circular stairs. Each of the three separate blocks was surrounded by a playground. The street side facades were closed in contrast to the open facades facing the playground. Oud's design also featured visual art and sculptures (Taverne et al. 2001, 533-535). Project series includes plans and photographs of facades and aerial views. , 12 drawings 11 photographs

Project
AP148.S1.1971.PR04
Description:
Project series documents Poli's design for a Cone table, also called "Mizar" table, which was produced for Superstudio by Crystal Art in 1973. Poli dates this project as being from 1971-1973, however, some drawings appear to be dated 1979. Material in this series features mainly sketches and drawings, many brightly coloured, some done in blue ink, and one large drawing in white on black cardstock. Not all notations appear to be in Poli's hand. One drawing also features an image (which appears to be a cut-out). The series also includes a model or prototype of the table design in glass and ceramic. A sketchbook with drawings related to this project has been catalogued with material from the Lamp for Flos project (see project AP148.S1.1971.PR02) - Poli notes that 48 pages of this red sketchbook feature drawings related to the Cone table project.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's work as a consulting landscape architect for the design of the garden courtyard of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario. Oberlander worked on this project from 2016-2017 with Enns Gauthier Landscape Architects. The design consists in creating a reference to canadian landscape as the courtyard is located in the middle of the Canadian art gallery. The landscape comprises a raised topography composed of three moss and fern mounds with stacked escarpment stone wall referencing to the geology of the Canadian Shield and separating the mounds from a stone laid surface imitating a river bed. The courtyard also includes a patio space. The garden court was later known as the Fred & Elizabeth Fountain Garden Court and was unveiled in March 2018. The project series contains sketches of grading and planting, perspective views and layout plans, correspondence with clients and final concept plans.
