Reference number:
AP143.S4.D65
Description:
File documents the unexecuted project for the University Art Museum, Long Beach, California. Material in this file was produced between 1986 and 1988. California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), commissioned Eisenman/Robertson Architects to design an art museum adjacent to the main campus entrance. The 67,500-square-foot building was to comprise four galleries, a black-box theater, an auditorium, a cafe, conference rooms, a library, offices, preparation spaces, and storage vaults. The project, sited on a 23-acre arboretum, included landscaping; terraced sculpture courtyards, botanical gardens, and a two-acre pond. Eisenman linked the northern and southern parts of the arboretum by an elevated public walkway through the museum. Sets of drawings were presented on 8 and 30 April, 2 June, and 5 Aug. In the first design phase Eisenman explores the cartographic figures which form the basis of his artificial excavation when superposed: a series of sketches establishes the analogical relationships which fix the relative scales of the plans and produce the superpositions; another series contextualizes the superposed figures by placing them within the museum site (DR1987:0859:087-090). The second phase concerns the building; the working model shows the building carved out of a square pit, from which spring an oil derrick and a reconstruction of a recreational pier (Rainbow Pier, 1920s) used here as circulatory bridge (DR1987:0859:160). In the third phase the architect systematizes his archeological procedure by using five significant cartographic dates - 1849, 1889, 1949, 1989, 2049 - each corresponding to a specific superposition (see DR1987:0859:274-277). In the fourth phase, Eisenman simplifies the superposition of 2049 to a few iconic colour-coded forms: ranch (green), ranch house (blue), campus site (red), and water forms (river and pond) (gold). Material for the fourth phase includes three relief models, four presentation drawings, and a model (property of the CSULB) (relief models: DR1987:0859:001-003; drawings: DR1987:0859:004-008). Eisenman "inhabits" his artifical archeology by detailed planning of interior spaces, and gives substance to the cartographic traces in a series of sketch sections, perspectives, and working models. Working models reveal how the central "canal" area gradually became the museum's access point (DR1987:0859:484-490); the museum, galleries, offices, and preparation areas are on one side of this deep cut, while the cafeteria and black-box theater are on the other. The upper level was to house offices, meeting rooms, and the library. File contains audiovisual material, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, reference drawings, working drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

Description:
This project series documents the project "Glass Station", a gas station constructed on an irregularly-shaped site at the entrance to the town of Oguni in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The project was completed in 1993. The office, pumps, shop and work space of the service station are covered by an undulating canopy composed of asymmetrical concrete arches that form the boundaries of a lattice of pretensioned steel rods and aluminum channels into which panels of glass bonded to sheets of perforated stainless steel were inserted, sealed with polyester film, and secured with structural silicon. The project series is chiefly composed of design development drawings. It includes numbered sets of architectural drawings and structural drawings and some mechanical and electrical drawings. There is a set of unnumbered ink drawings and reproductions related to the geometry of the canopy. There are also some images of the canopy that are output from a computer file or files (wireframes and renderings). There is a small amount of textual material related to technical data and form finding for the canopy. The file also includes 2 study models. There are some graphic design documents for the name of the project and for the name "IDEX". Material in this file was created between 1990 and 1993.

This project series documents the project "Glass Station", a gas station constructed on an irregularly-shaped site at the entrance to the town of Oguni in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The project was completed in 1993. The office, pumps, shop and work space of the service station are covered by an undulating canopy composed of asymmetrical concrete arches that form the boundaries of a lattice of pretensioned steel rods and aluminum channels into which panels of glass bonded to sheets of perforated stainless steel were inserted, sealed with polyester film, and secured with structural silicon. The project series is chiefly composed of design development drawings. It includes numbered sets of architectural drawings and structural drawings and some mechanical and electrical drawings. There is a set of unnumbered ink drawings and reproductions related to the geometry of the canopy. There are also some images of the canopy that are output from a computer file or files (wireframes and renderings). There is a small amount of textual material related to technical data and form finding for the canopy. The file also includes 2 study models. There are some graphic design documents for the name of the project and for the name "IDEX". Material in this file was created between 1990 and 1993.

Description:
The project series documents "La Mia Casa All'Elba", Pettena's house in Viticcio on the Island of Elba. The project, started in 1978, remained an ongoing project as the house has undergone many transformations over the years. The residence "is conditioned by its relationship with the physical context, the material and the working of space." [1] Pettena even reused some of the material already on site to build the residence. The house is comprised of different pavilions and spaces interconnected by small paths: "The house has progressively been defined as a sequence of spaces connected by routes, just like in a village. So it goes on growing almost like a primitive village, through intentions, successive organizations of spaces that define one another and are linked together." [2] The project series contains a sketch, plans, perspective drawings of the house and later additions. The project series is also comprised of photographs, including interior views showing artworks, photographs of Elba possibly used for research, and two videocassettes possibly with recordings of TV shows presenting the house.

The project series documents Pettena's work for the Nuovo Municipio, a new town hall building in Canazei in Italy, from 1990 to 1997. The project consisted of preserving and restoring a historic building designed by Ettore Sottsass in the 1930s and adding a new construction built in a gap between two sections of the building the two volumes of the building. "Through the glazed connection, the new volume maintains a certain distance from the existing volume and is itself split into two parts, creating in practice a pedestrian intersection between the new and the old building and between the two sections of the new building: a pedestrian intersection that is laid out on two distinct levels." [1] The project series contains sketches, site plans, floor plans, elevations and sections. It is also comprised of research material, such as copies of building plans by Ettore Sottsass Sr. The project is also documented through proposals and project descriptions, reports, contracts with the city of Canazei, correspondence with engineers, photographs of the construction, and videos of the building. The project series also includes press clippings about the project and an unidentified videorecording.

This project series documents the Banco Borges & Irmão II in Vila do Conde, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 46/70. The office assigned the date 1978 to this project. The Banco Borges & Irmão bank was located in the historic part of Vila do Conde, near the Matriz Church. The project site was the same as for the Banco Borges & Irmão I (project series AP178.S1.1977.PR02 in this fonds). The old building was destroyed and Siza built a new bank. The documentation informs us that the design of the building was subject to several changes. This project series contains documentation for several different versions of the building. The building had two floors and a basement. The third floor was used for administrative offices, the second floor for services to the public, and the basement for safety deposits. In 1988, Siza received the Mies van der Rohe prize for this project. Drawings include sketches, studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, meeting minutes and correspondence. Photographic materials include photographs of the models and the built project. A study model is also included in these materials.

Description:
This project series documents alterations and extensions made to the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7633. This project consisted primarily of an extension to the building's press hall and alterations. An addition of approximately 20,000 square feet was proposed to house printing operations on property once occupied by parking. The new space would permit the addition of a new printing press, adding 4 units of press to the existing10 unit press line. Due to the erasure of parking, this project is also heavily concerned with the search for new parking for the building. Parkin Architects Planners had designed and constructed the original Toronto Sun building at 333 King Street East from 1973-1975. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records, photographs and slides dating from 1974-1981. The majority of drawings are of details and are arranged within the textual records. The photographic materials show the building's exterior and masonry. The textual records include correspondence, specifications, meeting and site reports, tender documents, consultancy records, bylaw and building authority records, financial documents, change orders, supplementary instructions, interoffice letters, and contracts. File AP018.S1.1976.PR25.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
