"Au vol d'oiseau, voici l'île Sainte-Hélène à son état naturel, il y a deux ans, avant le début des travaux de récupération qui ont presque triplé la superficie afin d'y loger l'Exposition universelle de 1967. Le magnifique parc boisé restera tel quel pour l'agrément des visiteurs. / Air view of Ile Sainte-Hélène, as of July 23, 1963, just before work began on the enlargement of the island to provide the ground for Expo 67. View is from the upstream end of the island. Stipulation in the program for building Expo 67 is the condition that the original Ile Sainte-Helene public park be left untouched."--Description.

Project
AP198.S1.1997.PR01
Description:
Project records document OCEAN North’s design for their competition entry for the Töölö Football Stadium in Helsinki in 1997. The project was titled Open Arena by OCEAN North. The site for the football stadium was in the Töölö neighbourhood, between a park area including the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, and a residential area. OCEAN North’s entry was a building that would integrate with its natural surroundings while being able to accommodate a variety of activities and events. The structure for Open Arena has three topological surfaces. The first provides stadium access to the players and the public, and includes services such as restaurant, cafeteria, and bars. Its shape aims to integrate with the natural landscape. The second contains the audience seating areas, including VIP and press areas, and aimed to arrange the audience as if it was loosely dispersed on a hillside. The third topological surface consists of the roof. The Töölö Football Stadium marks the introduction of the Channelling Systems process, defining building’s integration to its surroundings and distributing functions across the structure. Records show different stages of the design process and include two digitized photographs of Plexiglas sections that were used to physically explore the design. Digital files are grouped under categories such as Board images, Board lay-out, Graft, Sections, Siteplans, digital model images, scanned plans and site images. This last directory contains digitized photographs of the grounds surrounding the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. All drawings are vector or raster images of the whole or parts of the structure, with some including the identifications of the structure’s parts. Project records also include preliminary or working plans. Most were drawn to scale on paper and some were printed from CAD drawings. They chiefly reflect the design work to define the surfaces and shapes of the stadium’s structure.

Description:
The series documents Pettena’s activities as a curator and exhibition designer from 1980 to 2004 and includes materials for most of the related publications. The material in this series relates to fifteen out of the over twenty-five exhibitions designed by Pettena, which were presented in various galleries in Italy. Pettena’s exhibitions include installations on contemporary architecture, such as an exhibition on avant-garde architects from London, exhibitions on Hans Hollein, on Richard Meier, on Ettore Sottsass and on Ettore Sottsass Jr. He also designed many exhibitions on architects of the Radical movement and the evolution of their work from the beginning of the movement to more recent years. The series also contains material for Pettena’s work on exhibitions on contemporary landscape architecture and the evolution of urban parks. Also included are a few documents related to exhibitions on Pettena’s work, either group exhibitions or solo ones, and curated by others. The series contains research materials, such as publications and reference photographs, correspondence related to exhibition planning and the accompanying publications, exhibition proposals, and some installation designs and concept development notes. The series also contains draft texts, and documents related to the image selection process for the exhibition catalogues. Finally, the series contains installation views, photographs of exhibition openings and some draft exhibition and publication texts for exhibitions on Pettena’s work but that were not curated by him.
