Project
AP178.S1.1990.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the Ceramique Terrein Blocos de habitação e escritórios in Maastricht, The Netherlands. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 6/90 A/B. The office assigned the date 1990 to this project. The project is located in the Ceramique district. The industrial area was revitalized during the nineties with buildings built by international architects, including Aldo Rossi's the Bonnefanten Museum and Jo Coenen's Centre Céramique. The building is divided into three independent buildings: Block 6, Block 7, and Block 8. Block 6 is made up of commercial space on the ground floor and residential units on the other six floors. Block 8 is the biggest unit of the project, with a double tower of 16 storeys. Block 7 is a four-storey building. The project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches and plans. Textual material includes correspondence and technical details. Photographic material documents the project site, construction work, and built project.

DR1990:0063:001-046
Description:
- This album contains presentation drawings and transfer lithographs of lustres and furniture designs for the Mikhailovsky Palace in Leningrad. The first 18 transfer lithographs and drawings are for lustres with varying numbers of candles (one per page). The room location for many of the lustres is inscribed in graphite at the bottom of the sheet. Two rectangular flaps attached to the t. and l.r. of page DR1990:0063:005 can be raised to reveal alternate gouache and wash designs. Page DR1990:0063:011 also has an alternate design in watercolour or gouache where a flap was previously attached. Drawings DR1990:063:020 - DR1990:0063:046 have several designs for furniture per sheet. The numbers in graphite on many of the furniture and lustre drawings probably refers to the room where they were to be located. On three sheets of furniture designs the ornament is rendered in yellow watercolour, probably indicating a proposed construction in bronze, gilded bronze, or carved and gilt wood in imitation of bronze (DR1990:063:020 - DR1990:0063:021, and DR1990:0063:046). There are no other indications of the materials for the furniture. All of the drawings for lustres and furniture show the forms, decoration, and iconography typical of Empire and Restoration style design.
