Project
CI005.S1.1925.PR1
Description:
The Rotterdam building inspectorate, Bouwpolite & Woningdienst, rejected the original plans for the design of the Café de Unie by a private developer, and instead commissioned Oud, as municipal architect, to design the building on Calandplein. This design marked a departure for Oud from public and private buildings to the design of a commercial building. Oud's design incorporated advertisement from its conception as he designed a facade of boards, cement, and glass with an illuminated sign – this was in keeping with the contemporary aesthetic of De Stijl, which explored creative uses of advertisement. Oud designed the signs to be turned inward, to draw attention away from the surrounding buildings, and incorporated bright colours (Taverne et al. 2001, 342). Project series includes drawings of plans as well as photographs of exterior views and of the principal facade of the Café de Unie.

Human Space (2012)
AP207.S1.2012.PR06
Description:
The project series documents the installation "Human Wall", designed by Pettena for the Galleria Enrico Fornello in Milan in 2012. The installation consists of a wall made of handmade balls of clay on which the handprints from making the clay balls intentionally remain. "The physicality and action of constructing is also accentuated here by the use of a natural material, clay, whose malleability and lack of homogeneity in themselves generate architecture, an architecture that can however be directed toward a mental use of space." [1] Another edition of this installation was presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2012. The project series contains drawings showing the construction of the installation and photographs of the installation.
