Description:
File documents a project in which Cedric Price was invited to submit a design for a single house to an exhibition entitled "Architecture II: Houses for Sale" organized by the Leo Castelli Gallery, New York City, New York, United States. The four components of Price's submission entitled "Platforms, Pavilions, Pylons and Plants" could be regrouped and redistributed on the one-acre site if and when required. Conceptual, design development and schematic sketches include preliminary plans, sections, and elevations for the house as well as details for the arrangement of the four components. Trees are stamped in black ink on the site plans with a generic rubber "tree" stamp. Design development drawings include preliminary drawings for layouts done in graphite, and a complete sequence of design development drawings done in ink numbered 001 to 013. Several reprographic copies of design development drawings were coloured with adhesive film and pencil and annotated in order to develop preliminary versions for the final presentation drawings. Three panels for the "Houses for Sale" exhibition consist of text describing the project concept mounted on boards, and a photomechanical print enlarged from an original sketch perspective entitled "general view-pavilions and totems". Material in this file was produced between 1979 and 1982, and in 1987, but predominantly in 1980. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation panels, a presentation model, photographic materials, and textual records.

- The group of 86 photographs PH1987:0996 - PH1987:1081 by Bernd and Hilla Becher show 75 views of steel mill blast furnaces and 11 views of mines. There are 45 views of steel mill blast furnaces in Germany, 15 in the United States, and five in each of France, Luxembourg and Belgium. There are five views of mines in Germany, two in Belgium, two in the United States, and one in each of France and Wales. - The group of 86 photographs PH1987:0996 - PH1987:1081 by Bernd and Hilla Becher show five views of steel mill blast furnaces located in the Lorraine region of France including: two views of the Sacilor-Sollac steel mill in Rombas (PH1987:1035 and PH1987:1068); two views of the Usinor-Senelle steel mill in Longwy-Bas (PH1987:1052 and PH1987:1069); and one view of a steel mill in Neuves-Maisons (PH1987:1067). - The photographers indicate that the group of ten photographs PH1987:1032 - PH1987:1041 of views of blast furnace heads should be exhibited in two rows arranged from left to right and top to bottom in numerical order according to the photographers' inscriptions "K 1" through "K 10". Photograph PH1987:1032 would therefore be at the far left of the upper row, while photograph PH1987:1041 would be at the far right of the bottom row (Kicken Pauseback, 1987).
