Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's design for a neighbourhood playground for the Lutheran Settlement House on Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Oberlander worked on this project from 1950-1954 while working for the Citizen's Council on City Planning (CCCP) as community planner. The playground includes a basketball, badminton and handball field, an area for games on earth surface, a quiet area, and a paved area for small children. The project series consists solely of a general landscape plan of the playground.

Description:
- Design for the front elevation of a one story building with a pitched roof. The surface of the structure is covered with patterns, making it difficult to distinguish the architectural forms, but there appears to be a two-column portico with a triangular pediment above the doorway.

CI005.S1.1914.PR1
Description:
In 1914 Oud designed a combination shop and dwelling in Heemstede for upholsterer, Mr G.S. Van Bakel. The shop and dwelling shared the same entryway while the rear elevation consisted of a flat surface within a united facade. Oud had originally planned for one large window on the front facade but changed his design because the client argued that two windows were too costly (Taverne et al. 2001, 75). The project series includes drawings of both an L-shaped and a rectangular design.

Description:
The bubble is a wonder of surface tension. In its architectural interpretation, the bubble can be understood as a feat of engineering or as a metaphor for an enclosed hermetic environment. As such, the bubble emerges, in the architect Cedric Price’s words, “in any shape or any size” as a powerful symbol of the future, or becomes synonymous with the condition of isolation(...)

Description:
Project records document OCEAN North’s design for their competition entry for the Töölö Football Stadium in Helsinki in 1997. The project was titled Open Arena by OCEAN North. The site for the football stadium was in the Töölö neighbourhood, between a park area including the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, and a residential area. OCEAN North’s entry was a building that would integrate with its natural surroundings while being able to accommodate a variety of activities and events. The structure for Open Arena has three topological surfaces. The first provides stadium access to the players and the public, and includes services such as restaurant, cafeteria, and bars. Its shape aims to integrate with the natural landscape. The second contains the audience seating areas, including VIP and press areas, and aimed to arrange the audience as if it was loosely dispersed on a hillside. The third topological surface consists of the roof. The Töölö Football Stadium marks the introduction of the Channelling Systems process, defining building’s integration to its surroundings and distributing functions across the structure. Records show different stages of the design process and include two digitized photographs of Plexiglas sections that were used to physically explore the design. Digital files are grouped under categories such as Board images, Board lay-out, Graft, Sections, Siteplans, digital model images, scanned plans and site images. This last directory contains digitized photographs of the grounds surrounding the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. All drawings are vector or raster images of the whole or parts of the structure, with some including the identifications of the structure’s parts. Project records also include preliminary or working plans. Most were drawn to scale on paper and some were printed from CAD drawings. They chiefly reflect the design work to define the surfaces and shapes of the stadium’s structure.
