Sub-series
AP197.S1.SS6
Description:
This subseries documents Kenneth Frampton’s writing of “Studies in Tectonic Culture: The Poetics of Construction in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Architecture” (1995) as well as his other writings related to tectonics such as course materials for the “Studies in Tectonic Culture” seminar at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) and some research materials on tectonics. Kenneth Frampton's research interest in tectonics began with four lectures he gave at Rice University in Texas in the 1980s. The lectures focused on the work of Louis Kahn, Mies van der Rohe, Auguste Perret, and Jørn Urzon. This research interest later became a book and teaching project in the early 1990s. Textual documentation in this subseries consists of contracts, book reviews, abstracts, correspondence, drafts for various chapters, notes, selected photographic materials for the publication and various articles on tectonics (written by others). Course outlines, course readers, lecture slides, student papers, and midterm exams from the Studies in Tectonic Culture seminar at GSAPP are also included in this subseries.
