AP164.S1.2002.D9
Description:
The project series documents the urban planning project under the consortium “Chamartin Operation” for the extension of the avenue Paseo de la Castellana. The firm identified the project as number 153. “Abalos & Herreros developed the architectural consultancy for this ambitious project initiated by R. Bofill and nowadays its in time of adaptation to the urban conditions and the real conditions under the direction of J. M. Ezquiaga. The prime aim of [their] work consists of the establishment of the constructed typologies, the occupation models and the relation between public and housing space for searching a possible compatibility in an environment that soon will be seen as centric in the urban map of Madrid.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual and design development drawings, photographic materials, project descriptions, and notes.

Rotterdam "Kop van Zuid"
AP142.S1.D62
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry for the urban renewal of the Kop van Zuid harbour area in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The Rotterdam Arts council invited several architects to submit a proposal during the "Architecture International Rotterdam", a festival of architecture held during 1981 and 1982. Several architects were invited to propose an urban design for the northern part of the south bank of the river Nieuwe Maas. Material in this file was produced between 1981 and 1982. File contains reference drawings, design development drawings and presentation drawings. File also contains textual records, including a competition programme, correspondence and photographic material.

CP Aviary
AP144.S2.D113
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for an aviary and laboratory for the Royal Veterinary College, Camden, London, England. The design had to be easily dismantled, transported, and re-erected, since it was possible that there would be a "Stage 2" where the aviary would be moved from its original urban site to a more open rural site. Conceptual sketches illustrate preliminary ideas for the general structure and for. Some sketches are colored with metallic ink to outline structural components. Schematic design drawings illustrate two alternate plans, probably for urban and rural sites. A schematic flow diagram shows the use of research equipment within specified laboratory zones/research modules. Design development drawings show the aviary structure for both the urban and rural site. Isometrics, axonometrics, and perspectives show spatial division and accommodation within the aviary. Duplicate reprographic copies are made from the original drawings; some are annotated with notes. Material in this file was produced between 1978 and 1989, but predominantly between 1981 and 1985. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, reference drawings, other drawings, a model, photographic materials, and textual records.
