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.

Description:
Hubert Rohault de Fleury studied under Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand at the École polytechnique and with Julien-David Leroy at the École des beaux-arts. The confluence of their respective pedagogies is evident in albums DR1974:0002:012:001-049 and DR1974:0002:013:001-008 where Durand's` "rationalized" methodology of design is applied to Leroy's vocabulary of antiquity(1). Hubert's two albums of student drawings for the École des Beaux-Arts (DR1974:0002:012:001-049 and DR1974:0002:013:001-008) are complimentary. The former contains competition drawings and programmes for the monthly competitions (Concours d'emulation) as well as drawing, prints, and programmes for the 1800 (2e), 1801, and 1802 (1er) Grand Prix competitions, each of which trace the entire process from "Concours d'essai" and "esquisse", up to and including, studies for final renderings. The latter album contains large-scale final renderings for the 1800, 1801, and possibly the 1798 Grand prix competitions. As in Durand's "mecanisme de la composition", Hubert proceeds from the simple to the complex, often utilizing the graph paper or hand drawn grid particular to Durand's design methodology (codified in his book 'Precis des Lecons' 1802). This process is readily apparent in both Hubert's "Concours d'emulation" drawings, and, more completely, in the drawings for the Grand Prix competitions. The studies for Hubert's winning 1802 Grand Prix entry for a'Foire' indicate that he isolated and studied different building types before combining them into the unified complex evident in his final renderings. The original final renderings of the Grand Prix winners were kept by the École des beaux-arts. Album DR1974:0002:012:001-049 contains only the prints of the final renderings. The success of Hubert in the Grand Prix competitions is not surprising. His large wash final renderings for the 1800 and 1801 competitions (DR1974:0002:013:001-008) indicate that the neo-classical simplicity then favoured by the judges at the École des beaux-arts dovetailed with the notions of economy implicit in Durand's functionalist approach to design.
