AP178.S1.1998.PR10
Description:
This project series documents the Pavilhão de Portugal na Expo Hannover 2000 in Hannover, Germany. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 112/90. The office assigned the date 1999 for this project The project, a collaboration with Eduardo Souto de Moura, was for the Portuguese pavilion at Expo 2000 in Hannover. The exterior of the pavillion was made of natural materials including cork, limestone, and tiles. The use of expanded cork was symbolic, as Portugal is the principal producer worldwide. The building could be dismantled and was moved from Hannover and rebuilt in Coimbra in 2002. It was renamed Pavilhão Centro de Portugal and served as a venue for concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events. Documenting this project are sketches and elevations. Textual materials include documentation about the reconstruction in Coimbra. Photographic material documents the built project.

DR1987:0034:001-033
Description:
- This album contains 17 drawings, 13 photographs and 2 prints which record the design and construction of the Palais de l'Industrie, Paris. The drawings, DR1987:0034:001 - DR1987:0034:0017, were probably executed in the office of J.M.V. Viel, one of the building's architects, who signed them on 1 February 1859. These drawings are rendered in pen and watercolour, and appear to be an official record of the building. The printed plan with additions in pen, DR1987:0034:0018, was signed by Viel in 1856. The photographs, DR1987:0034:019 - DR1987:0034:0030, are views of the interior and the main entrance under construction, ca. 1854, and views of the completed main entrance of 1855 or after, including details of relief sculpture and the stained-glass window.

DR1989:0015:010
Description:
- This drawing is part of a group of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, from the office of John Loughborough Pearson, composed of nine orthographic contract drawings dated 1867-1868 (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:009) and one elevation for an addition in 1878 (DR1989:0015:010). These drawings were sold at auction by St. Peter's Convent, Woking, along with drawings for that institution (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:089 R/V). Both institutions were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and the lay nursing order which ran it. Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882, and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255 and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.

Series
AP179.S2
Description:
Series 2, Witte Arts Center, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 2000 – 2002, documents the development of a project (unrealized) by Office d’A in response to a real estate brief for a floor of artists’ studios supported by a street level gallery in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The design for the Witte Arts Center addresses functional architectural concerns like light and circulation through elements such as suspended skylights and an open-air staircase. For the staircase in particular, corbelled brick patterning around the interior stairs creates a distortion of the building’s façade nicknamed “the smile.” The series consists of sketches, drawings and reprographic copies from the pre-design to design development phases of the project, a model, and photographic materials. Textual records in the series include correspondence, meeting notes and vendor catalogues. Digital material consists of CAD drawings, 3D models and renderings, images of the model and drawings, correspondence and other documents.

AP144.S2.D112
Description:
File documents a project for a private residence in Australia which Price designed to provide unlimited functional options by means of a variable open frame structure with insertable module components. Photographs of various views of the existing site were apparently used for reference purposes by Price during the design development process. Conceptual and design development drawings include both original drawings and reprographic copies: elevations show the timber and corrugated metal construction and preliminary construction details; axonometric drawings explore open/closed and roof on/off options; floor plans show circulation patterns in color; and alternate bathroom and service modules are shown primarily in plan. Two photographs of the model (DR2004:0379) were mislabelled by Price's office with the Pertpavs project (AP144.S2.D124). Material in this file was produced between 1981 and 1984. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, a presentation model, photographic materials and textual records.
