AP178.S1.1999.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the Projecto de Ordenación nel Âmbito del Vapor Turull in Sabadell, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 114/90. The office assigned the date 1999 to this project. The project was for offices for the municipality of Sabadell in the industrial building of the Vapor Turull company. It included office spaces, an exterior public parking for 330 cars, and an interior parking in the basement. The H-shaped building had a 7634 m2 surface. There is no documentation in the archive suggesting if the building was realized or not. Documenting this project are sketches and plans. Textual material includes correspondence and documentation from the city of Sabadell and photographic materials document the model.

Synopsis:
The RUR Architecture Kansai-kan of the National Diet Library project records, circa 1996, document the New York based firm’s competition entry for the Kansai Science City branch of Japan’s National Diet Library. Records show integration of landscape in the building’s design, exploration of the relationship between structure and surface, and a multimedia approach to building design. Records include 169 digital files, mostly CAD models and images; 42 drawings and printed renderings; and 5 models and casts.

AP148.S1.1971.PR02
Description:
The project series comprises study sketches, drawings, and brief notes related to the design for the lamp "Misura", a prototype made for Superstudio by Flos in 1971. The accompanying notes refer to a checkered design on a tilting white board, with the light filtering through and transforming this into a transparent surface. Poli identifies 16 pages of the sketchbook as being relevant to this design project (though does not specify which pages), and notes that the remaining 48 pages are for the Cone table project (see AP148.S1.1971.PR04). The accompanying original folder in which Poli included the loose sketches and notes was titled "Lampada Floss | Tavolo a Cono". The technical drawing is stamped Superstudio, with the address on Bellosguardo in Florence. Also included is a photocopy of a photograph of Alessandro Poli and the lamp prototype.

Description:
Series 2: Presentation files, 1999 – 2009, contains CAD files, 3D models, renderings, and photographs used for presentation of the Phaeno Science Centre, especially during the competition and design phases. Formats include chiefly images (EXIF, JPEG, TIFF) and CAD files (AutoCAD, plotter files, EPS). This series contains a wide variety of materials used by ZHA to present Phaeno Science Centre to clients, the press, and other stakeholders. This includes 3D models and CAD files, other drawings and diagrams, and photographs. Notably, this series includes concept animations used by ZHA to develop the shape and structure of Phaeno, as well as concept sketches possibly drawn by Zaha Hadid. Other materials of interest include a digitized copy of digital plans that had been printed and given a hand-painted rendering surface.

AP144.S2.D63
Description:
File documents research on air structures for a survey and final report commissioned by the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works, United Kingdom. The report was completed in 1969 by Cedric Price in collaboration with Frank Newby and Robert H. Suan of Felix J. Samuely and Partners, Consulting Engineers, and published in 1971 by HMSO (Her Majesty's Stationery Office). In addition to the report titled 'Air Structures: A Survey', the file contains material on Cedric Price's presentation at the 1967 International Colloquium on Pneumatic Structures at the University of Stuttgart. The creation of the Lightweight Enclosure Unit (see AP144.S2.D79) by Cedric Price and Frank Newby and their involvement with the drafting of British Standards Institution's 1976 'Draft for Development: Air Structures' (see AP144.S2.D79 and AP144.S2.D91) were also results of this initial commission. The file contains publication layouts, including drawings for Aerofoam Furniture (see AP144.S2.D43) and possibly the Tunisia Report on Tourism; design development drawings and charts, including a two-year projection for air structure research, a project integration chart of important "players" in the research, including government, academic, and industrial contacts, a chart showing cost per surface area; and five presentation panels that include a title page, diagrammatic sketches of projects dating from 1963-1965, a summary of Aerofoam furniture, drawings for Surface Oil Containment (1967) clippings, and a manuscript. Some materials in this file were published in "Cedric Price Supplement", 'Architectural Design', vol. 40, (October 1970), 508-510, and Price, Cedric, 'Cedric Price-Works II', 18, 31. Material in this file was produced between 1966 and 1995, but predominantly between 1966 and 1971. File contains design development drawings, presentation drawings, presentation panels, and textual records.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's work as a consulting landscape architect for the design of the garden courtyard of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario. Oberlander worked on this project from 2016-2017 with Enns Gauthier Landscape Architects. The design consists in creating a reference to canadian landscape as the courtyard is located in the middle of the Canadian art gallery. The landscape comprises a raised topography composed of three moss and fern mounds with stacked escarpment stone wall referencing to the geology of the Canadian Shield and separating the mounds from a stone laid surface imitating a river bed. The courtyard also includes a patio space. The garden court was later known as the Fred & Elizabeth Fountain Garden Court and was unveiled in March 2018. The project series contains sketches of grading and planting, perspective views and layout plans, correspondence with clients and final concept plans.
