House, Selsdon
Reference number:
AP144.S2.D42
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for a detached private residence located at Beech Way in Selsdon, Surrey, (now Croydon, part of Greater London), England, for Jean Newlove (Mrs. Jean McColl). The local planning authority refused the project citing aesthetic considerations. The house was to be constructed as a "series of interleaved reinforced concrete trays" supported by columns ("Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 36). File contains conceptual and design development sketches that explore exterior elevations, stair and glazing details; axonometric drawings and sections that show relationship between floor levels and functions; and framing plans showing the preliminary structural layout. Material in this file was produced between 1962 and 1964. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

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.

DR1987:0062
Description:
General view - This drawing is one of four drawings by Arata Isozaki for the "City in the Air" schemes of 1960-1963. Three of these drawings are studies for the "Clusters in the Air" project of 1960-1962: a sketch showing a general view of the project, DR1987:0117, a more finished version of the same view, DR1987:0062, and a three-stage sketch showing trees becoming a forest, DR1987:0116. The sketch of trees demonstrates the principal idea behind the "Clusters in the Air" project; enormous supports (trunks) support passageways (branches) to which living units (leaves) are gradually added. The trees develope side by side, with branches of different trees joining up, creating a "forest" (Isozaki 1992, 20-23, 29). the subject of the fourth drawing, DR1987:0061, is unclear although it is possibly a conceptual drawing for the Marunouchi Project of 1963, a proposal for a "City in the Air" in the central business district of Tokyo (Isozaki 1992, 27, 29). All four drawings are executed on sheets perforated with square holes for insertion into a spiral notebook.
