Description:
Project records document the design process for OCEAN North’s competition entry for the Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre in 1997. The project was titled Terra Cultura by OCEAN North. The competition was to create a multi-usage space that would include a venue for the symphonic orchestra, a music school, exhibition spaces and the possibility to host a variety of small cultural events in the Finnish city of Jyväskylä. The proposed site is in the center of the town, across the street from the Jyväskylä city church and its park, and nearby buildings designed by Alvar Aalto. OCEAN North’s concept presents a topological surface as an extension of the surrounding urban scape with two masses that would host the formal functions of the building (concert hall, music school, exhibition halls). The two volumes, or raised blocks, are divided along a diagonal elevated space, which is the extension of the ground’s topological surface filled and dubbed “Liquid Flow Space” by the design team. In their interview with Greg Lynn, Johan Bettum and Kivi Sotamaa mentioned that the idea for Jyväskylä was that it was a cloud. To reach this goal, the team used CAD software to trace streams of particles as a modelling approach. The masses of linear elements that were generated were further deconstructed and turned into “peels” and rearranged to create the masses of the building. Physical models were also used to test and further what had emerged from the digital design process, with results being fed back into the digital drawings. During the process, Bettum also brought in the idea of the internalisation of the outside, taking inspiration from the Centre Georges Pompidou. Digital records document the creative process with raster and vector images, CAD drawings and models, and few digital textual records describing the project and the program charts. Drawings and models show site and building plans, perspectives and sections; particles streaming and resulting linear masses; peels and sections identified per color; and renderings of aerials, perspectives and elevation views. OCEAN North seems to have mostly used Microstation for modelling, although there are a few files created with form*Z and 3D Studio. Some of the raster images might have been created with these software as well, showing a given stage of the design process and including renderings. There are also screen captures showing the top, front, left and perspective views of 3D models. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator were also used to create and modify drawings and diagrams. Program charts were created in Microsoft Excel. Sources: Softspace: from a representation of form to a simulation of space, Edited by Sean Lally and Jessica Young. London, New York: Routledge, 2007.

Description:
File documents the executed project for the Wexner Center for the Visual Arts, Columbus, Ohio. Material in this file was produced between 1977 and 1989. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, working drawings, competition drawings, presentation drawings, record drawings, reference drawings, publication drawings, photographic material, reference drawings, CD-Rs, textual records, and a model. Textual records include conceptual drawings, some by Eisenman (DR1994:0149:001-1138). Design development drawings and final working drawings are organized chronologically: 1983 (DR1994:0149:1139-1140), 1984 (DR1994:00149:1141-1294), 1985 (DR1994:00149:1295-1542), 1986 (DR1994:0149:1543-1577), 1988 (DR1994:0149:1578-1582), and 1989 (DR1994:0149:1583-1642). Competition drawings include original drawings (DR1994:0149:1643-1662) and KC5 negatives (DR1994:0149:1670-1754) used to produce the final presentation panels (DR1994:0149:1755-1756). Lithographs DR1994:0149:1757-1774 were used as presentation drawings. Reference drawings include site plans provided by the client (DR1994:0149:1780-1821), aerial photographs (DR1994:0149:1822-1823), photographs of the existing buildings on the proposed site (DR1994:0149:1824-1827) and measured drawings of the armoury, and shop drawings by Jules Fisher & Paul Marantz, Inc. Architectural Lighting Design. Eisenman published a book on the Wexner Center in 1989, and the cover and galleys are included in this group (cover: DR1994:0149:1828; galleys: DR1994:0149:1829-1831).

Description:
This series documents eight projects that Eva Hollo Vecsei worked on while at the firm Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold & Sise Architect (Arcop). Vecsei worked for the firm from 1959 to 1971 and was made an associate in 1964. She was the designer in charge of several Massey Award winning projects such as: Saint Gerard Magella Church, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec (1960-1963); Place Bonaventure, Montréal, Québec (circa 1963-1969); Student Union building, McGill University, Montréal, Québec (1965); and the Life science building, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia (1971). This series includes documents related to the following projects: Tifereth Jerusalem Synagogue, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1959-1971); Saint Gerard Magella Church, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec (1960-1963); Centre civique Chomedey, Chomedey [now Laval], Québec (1962-1965); Place des Arts, Montréal, Québec (1963); Place Bonaventure, Montréal, Québec (circa 1963-1969); Student Union building, McGill University, Montréal, Québec (1965); and the Life science building, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia (1971). Collection material in this series was produced between 1959 and 2017. Documenting the series are photographs, presentation drawings, slides, publications, clippings, correspondence, and digital material (mainly photographs and versions of a filmed interview). Records are predominantly related to Place Bonaventure, a large multi-functional complex comprised of exhibition and convention halls, an international trade centre, shopping concourses, offices, and a 400-room hotel with rooftop gardens. Mostly constructed of concrete, the building is connected to an underground pedestrian network and the Place Bonaventure metro station.

Bruno Taut
AP162.S8
Description:
Series documents the contribution of architect Bruno Taut to the correspondence circle of Die gläserne Kette. Bruno Taut participated under the pseudonym Glas. Born in 1880 in Königsberg, Germany, Bruno Taut studied architecture at the Bauwerkschule in Königsberg. After working in architectural firms from 1903 to 1909, he worked in partnership with Franz Hoffman and later with his brother Max Taut. Bruno Taut undertook various architectural projects including housing projects, public commissions, and later projects for universities and schools. In 1918, he founded the Arbeisrat für Kunst, a union of architects, painters, writers and other artists based in Berlin and dedicated to bring architectural and artisit tendencies of the time to a broader public. This union also involved some members of the Die gläserne Kette circle. Between 1920 and 1921, Bruno Taut was editor to the magazine "Frühlich". He taught architecture at the Technische Hochschule at Berlin-Charlottenburg from 1930 to 1932, and undertook a working visit in Russia in 1932 to 1933. After spending time in Japan between 1933 and 1936 due to enforced emigration, he taught at the Academy of Arts in Istanbul. He died in Istanbul in 1938. (Source: Ian Boyd Whyte, Bruno Taut and the Architecture of Activism. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1982) This series comprises part of Bruno Taut's correspondence to the Die gläserne Kette circle, along with related drawings and documents. The series also includes photographic materials of some of his architectural projects.
