File documents an executed project for the Clore Gallery and unexecuted projects for the Tate Gallery New Museums, in London, England. These additions to the existing Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) were planned in several phases on the Queen Alexandra Military Hospital site, situated to the east of the main museum. The Clore Gallery was completed in 1986, but projects for the New Museums, including the Museum of New Art, the Museum of Modern Sculpture, a Study Centre and a Children's Museum were called off in 1987. Material in this file was produced between 1978 and 1990. File contains two sub-files: Clore Gallery and the Tate Gallery New Museums.

Description:
This project series documents an extension for the Art Center College of Design (Ampliação) in Pasedena, United States. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 8/00. The office assigned the date 2000 for this project. The building program included a library and a technical-skills building, near the Craig Ellwood building. The project was a collaboration with Gehry Partners and Peter Testa. Siza did not realize the project. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, and preliminary master plans. Textual material includes project documentation and correspondence. Photographic material documents the models, project site, and built project.

This project series concerns work on the Museum grounds starting from 2005 to the early 2010s. It includes restorations work and consultations for maintenance of the grounds, various additions, including the addition of a plaza and a turnaround (also identified as a bus loop in the fonds documents) or modifications for events held on site. It also includes the installation of the Yosef Wosk Reflecting Pool, a permanent reflecting pond in 2009-2010. The pond was initially included in Oberlander original landscape design of 1975. It has since been temporarly filled in three occasions. The permanent pond was officially opened in 2010. The project series contains predominantly working drawings, such as site plans, landscape plans, planting plans, irrigation plans, and grading plans, and a few design development drawings, such as sketches, studies and details, including for the bus loop and the new plaza. The drawings for this project aslo includes sets of plans of the building used as reference. The project is also documented through textual records, including correspondence with clients, consultants and contractors, meetings notes and minutes, specifications, schematic design report and documentation. The project series also contains photographs, including digital photographs of the interior and exterior of the Museum and of the lanscaping. Source: Herrington, Susan.

Description:
The project files documenting the construction of the Wayfarers' Chapel and site are extensive and quite complete. The documentation is more complete for the first two units of construction than for the latter units. Thus, the internal coherence of the papers is more apparent for the earlier development of the project. The most comprehensive record of the development of the Wayfarers' Chapel is contained in the "Supervision Journal" which covers the period from 1947-1971 (files 97a/97b of the "General Files"). It should be noted particularly by researchers using these papers. The research value of the "Supervision Journal" is complemented by a substantial body of general correspondence which documents Lloyd Wright's interaction with the client and with other parties involved with the design or construction of the Chapel (the Palos Verdes Corporation, the Wayfarers Chapel Building and Properties Committee, and Reverends of the Chapel between 1947 and 1960). Further correspondence relates to the publicity for the Chapel between 1951 and 1965. The textual documents are augmented by an extensive array of visual materials, such as drawings, photographs, postcards, newspaper articles and trade catalogues, which are valuable for providing a pictorial record of the Chapel and site from its earliest through to its later development. The "Trade Catalogues and Supplier Ephemera" file (file 98 of the "General Files") contains a record of the products and supplies Lloyd Wright considered or used in the construction of the Wayfarers' Chapel.

File documents the executed project for the Wexner Center for the Visual Arts, Columbus, Ohio. Material in this file was produced between 1977 and 1989. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, working drawings, competition drawings, presentation drawings, record drawings, reference drawings, publication drawings, photographic material, reference drawings, CD-Rs, textual records, and a model. Textual records include conceptual drawings, some by Eisenman (DR1994:0149:001-1138). Design development drawings and final working drawings are organized chronologically: 1983 (DR1994:0149:1139-1140), 1984 (DR1994:00149:1141-1294), 1985 (DR1994:00149:1295-1542), 1986 (DR1994:0149:1543-1577), 1988 (DR1994:0149:1578-1582), and 1989 (DR1994:0149:1583-1642). Competition drawings include original drawings (DR1994:0149:1643-1662) and KC5 negatives (DR1994:0149:1670-1754) used to produce the final presentation panels (DR1994:0149:1755-1756). Lithographs DR1994:0149:1757-1774 were used as presentation drawings. Reference drawings include site plans provided by the client (DR1994:0149:1780-1821), aerial photographs (DR1994:0149:1822-1823), photographs of the existing buildings on the proposed site (DR1994:0149:1824-1827) and measured drawings of the armoury, and shop drawings by Jules Fisher & Paul Marantz, Inc.

Cottage High Legh

Description:
File documents an executed project for a gamekeeper's cottage next to a pheasantry in High Legh, Cheshire, England, to replace an existing dilapidated lodge. An early alternative proposal shows a scheme for renovating the existing building. Inexpensive materials and simple construction methods were specified in order to cut costs; local builders could be engaged to construct the cottage ('Architectural Design', January 1971, p. 35). Price also designed an addition for Cottage, High Legh (1977) which was not constructed (AP144.S2.D104). Preliminary plans and sketches include details for windows, a custom built-in cabinet, wall sections, and perspectives. Design development drawings include developed details including ones for a custom-designed fireplace, site axonometric, axonometric of cottage exterior, interior perspective of dining room, and exterior perspective showing front entrance. Working drawings are almost complete, and include survey notes and drawings of the existing lodge; site and floor plans, sections, and elevations; details for a fireplace, cloakroom and metalwork; a schedule for windows, doors, and the interior finishes; an axonometric for the roof; and a landscaping plan. The project was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 35, and in Price, Cedric. 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 51, 113. Material in this file was produced between 1961 - 1983, and predominantly between 1961 - 1965.

Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry, in collaboration with Miles Park, Douglas Smith and Frank Newby, for a mass-produced housing system using steel, for a competition sponsored by the European Coal and Steel Community. Requirements called for rapid assembly/disassembly, and flexible unit plans that could be altered by home owners and appeal to a wide range of owners and their preferences. Schematic sketches include exterior elevations, floor plans, preliminary details, and charts for building components. Conceptual sketches show alternate unit and floor plan arrangements, and include network analysis plans, site maximization plans based on transportability, family breakdown diagrams, alternate internal unit layout plans based on age and other factors, functional area plans indicating separation possibilities, and charts which cross-reference factors such as transportability, construction, and assembly requirements. Design development drawings show typical plans, site plans, sections, elevations, details, axonometric drawings of structure and cladding, internal units, and components. Some material in this file was published in Price, Cedric, "Steel Housing", 'Architectural Design', vol. 37, (May 1967) 244, and Price, Cedric, 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984) 36, 49-50, 113. Material in this file was produced between 1965 and 1969. 'High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community' is the full name of the client as found in the textual records. The title of the competition is 'International Competition for the Design of Industrially Fabricated Dwellings'. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, photographic material, presentation panels, textual records, and model.
