Description:
This album depicts photographs, plans, sketches of Stonehenge and texts. Preface is signed by Sir Henry James, 29th May 1867, Southhampton. Album has appendix and List of Books inserted at the end. "Col. Sir Henry James, Director-General of the Ordnance Survey, was a strong believer that photography had to be utilized as a major tool for mapping and survey work and he employed the Royal Engineers for that purpose. Colonel James appears in several of the Stonehenge photographs published by the Ordnance Survey. [...] Stonehenge is the world's most famous, large megalithic stone circle and is usually designated as a site used for religious worship in Neolithic Britain. However, the first use of this locality for documented ritual activity goes back to the Mesolithic and the erection of several large totem poles perhaps as early as 8,000 BC (Stonehenge O). Lunar observations preceded the construction of a causeway c.3200 BC, followed by an earth circle and Heel Stones c.3100 BC (Stonehenge 1a) and the Aubrey Holes (Stonehenge 1b). The Stonehenge site was then abandoned for about 1,000 years when large bluestones quarried in Wales were brought to the site and made into the Double Bluestone Circle with Avenue. 2150 BC (Stonehenge II). Soon thereafter sarsen stones were brought in from Avebury to build the great Sarsen Circle and Trilithon Horseshoe, 2100 BC (Stonehenge IIIz). Bluestones were brought back and added as the Bluestone Circle and Bluestone Horseshoe to the sarsen monument, 1800 BC (Stonehenge IIId). The sacred avenue was extended to the River Avon, 1100 BC (Stonehenge IV), the last phase of megalithic construction at this site. Note that the great stone circle and all construction at the Stonehenge site was completed several hundred years before we can postulate Celtic druids in the vicinity. We can only mention in passing that Stonehenge was embedded within a large ritual complex, where several of the ten megalithic constructions were also monumental in scale. Integration between these structures may not have been well planned in advance, but assuredly was articulated as each was built." Neolithic Britian Online.

Description:
- These sketches are mostly drawings for runway designs within the square site plan of the Los Angeles Municipal Airport project, with an elevation showing the massing of forms for the airport buildings. There are also at least three sketches for a segmentally-arched structure, possibly elevations for Lloyd Wright's second project for a shell for the Hollywood Bowl. This second project was commissioned in 1928; it was to be an elliptical shell, quarter-circular in elevation.

AP206.S1.1985.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a housing study for Dr. Bhimrao Ambedker University in Lucknow, India around 1985. This project consisted of multi-storey buildings arranged in clusters. The buildings had three apartments on each floor and were joined to create common courtyards. Diamond shaped buildings with centre courtyards were also investigated for a different area of the campus, as well as a nursery school, shopping complex, administrative block and information tower. The architect also made recommendations to build facilities near the campus for recycling, waste water, vegetables and livestock, stating that doing so would avoid the natural occurrence of slums that served a similar purpose. The project is recorded through original drawings of site, floor and landscaping plans, as well as elevations and photographic negatives of the project model, likely dating from around 1985.

Description:
This project series documents an expansion to an office building at the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1970. The office identified the project number as 70060. During this time, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, were commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of an expansion of the existing offices attached to cargo block B warehouse. The warehouse was also undergoing expansion at this time (see project series AP018.S1.1970.PR05 described in this fonds). The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970, which include site and floor plans, sections, elevations and electrical and mechanical drawings.

Description:
File documents an executed project for a garden pavilion and pool in Worthing, West Sussex, England, for the two children of Mr and Mrs T. L. Blau. The design includes "anti-adult" elements such as the pavilion's low ceiling and a steep, open stair leading to an upper deck. The children assisted with the construction and were given notes concerning the pavilion's long-term maintenance. Untreated cedar boards were used for the pavilion's exterior due to the site's close proximity to the sea. In addition to working drawings, the file contains a site plan of existing conditions, design development sketches of alternative layouts for pavilion, pool and deck areas. Material in this file was produced between 1962 and 1975, but predominantly 1962. File contains working drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

Description:
The city of Rotterdam in May 1922 commissioned a project to re-house homeless slum-dwellers and to alleviate Rotterdam's crisis in housing shortage: the housing unit was known as The Witte Dorp housing community, in the polder of Oud-Mathenesse. Oud designed the site plan and dwellings for this municipal housing project of 343 dwellings, eight shop units and a fire-engine shed. Oud created a geometric street plan with short axes that joined at the playground and townscape with identical facades of row houses facing one another. The houses were white with contrasting red roofs, blue front doors and yellow door frames and window casings (Taverne et al. 2001, 250). Project series includes drawings of plans and eighteen photographs, including exterior views and photographs of a plan.

Description:
In 1929, the north Rotterdam neighbourhood of Blijodorp became the site of a municipal housing plan. Previous plans had been formulated in the early 1920s by architects Kromhout and Heijkoop but foundered due to lack of funding. Oud was brought into the project in the early 1930s and combined a perimeter block with row housing in his design of 306 dwellings for workers and eighteen buildings for seniors. The nine housing blocks faced the gardens and feature a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms with storage space situated below the elevated living level. His plans were not realized because the national government withdrew its investment in the housing market (Taverne et al. 2001, 304-310). Project series includes drawings of plans for Blijdorp Municipal Housing and a photograph of a perspective drawing.
