Project
AP164.S1.2005.D9
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the planning of the Orange County Suuokita Memorial Park in California, United States. The project site was previously a military base. The firm identified this project as number 212b “The first action will be to excavate the existing E-W runways and construct in their place a great water channel. The second action will be to plant a large grid of indigenous trees over the entire site in tandem with the installation of irrigation systems. The third main gesture will be to transform the surfaces of the remaining runways into smaller gardens […] Following upon these initial gestures, [Abalos & Herreros] propose a series of vertical structures that will serve to punctuate the great horizontal expanse of the park, providing another scale to the park.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are presentation drawings, correspondence, reference materials, notes, project descriptions, presentation documents, publications and a dummy.

AP207.S1.1967.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the "Rumble" Sofa, a couch designed by Pettena in 1967 and produced in 1968 by Gufram, an Italian seat and furniture manufacturer based in Barolo. The "Rumble" Sofa was part of the furniture at Pettena's studio-home." […] The design of this couch […] derives from the experience of living in a spacious place, originally a 19th century studio for artists, in which the furnishings had to suit the scale of the place and not that of the being." [1] The project series contains sketches, plans and details of the couch, as well as videos and photographs of the couch showing its various possible shapes and usages. It also includes a small wooden model with movable blocks, each block represents one of the cushions of the couch.
