Weavers' Studio
Reference number:
AP182.S1.2013.D2
Description:
File documents a project for a live-work complex in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Commissioned by Chiaki Maki, a Japanese textile weaver who spends a portion of each year in northern India, this complex in the Himalayan foothills provides working space for a studio of twenty-five weavers from all over the country. It is conceived as a cyclical, self-sufficient farm system that integrates all aspects of the weaving process, from cultivating indigo and henna for dye to gathering silk from cocoons and spinning wool. The site had been previously cultivated, and the design works with the landscape's existing pathways, terraces, and mango groves. Nearly all construction materials--including the brick, limestone, and phosphorescent river stones used in the foundation and to treat the brick walls--come from within a two-kilometre radius of the studio. The five-sided building occupying the centre of the site is the workshop itself, which frames a courtyard for gatherings (of weavers, children, etc.). A gallery in the complex displays the weavers' work, while the linear buildings accommodate motorcycle parking, a guest house, and residences for Maki and her partner as well as the site caretaker and his family. File contains artefacts and realia, models, photographs, drawings, site reports, and a video recording.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Russell Residence in Lake Bay, near in Tacoma, Washington, United States. Oberlander worked on this project in 1986-1989 with architect Arthur Erickson. The project consisted in building a new house and garden on the 300 acres family farm, located on a promotery overlooking Puget Sound. The landscape design included the planting of rhododendrons nestled into the woodland along one side of the looped drive leading to a parking area, and an herbs and vegetables garden next to the house, near the dining room. Oberlander created a meadow area at the centre of the loop entrance drive with spring bulbs and summer wildflowers providing interest at all seasons. The project was completed in 1989. The project series contains sketches, design development drawings, including plans of the herbs and vegetables gardens, planting plans and schematic landscape plans, and working drawings, including planting plans, site plans and grading plans. The project is also documented through Oberlander's concept notes, research material, landscape specifications, correspondence with client and architects, and financial documents. The project series also comprises photographs of Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and other visiting the site, and photographs of the construction of the residence and landspace work.

CD034.S1.1975.PR02
Description:
This project series contains seven reproductions of drawings displayed in the exhibit to document the Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood, in Setúbal, south of Lisbon, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the Setúbal port-city experienced the political vibrations of the revolutionary year with great intensity. The Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood was designed for a fishing community living in a difficult area to build on due to its steep incline. The challenge that the project architect Gonçalo Byrne faced was to maintain the structure of single-family housing with the outhouse or courtyard, the typology that the local populations requested, while making a large urban gesture. The proposal was based on two types of housing (the square and rectangular plans). This overcame the problem of the 36 percent slope in an architecturally striking manner, while it also managed to fulfil the major requirement inherent in any SAAL operation of minimizing costs. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Gonçalo Byrne worked for SAAL/Lisbon and Central South with Ana Ferreira Rebocho, Berta Sá Caetano and the residents' association Casal das Figueiras, that was founded on October 30th, 1975. The project included 420 dwellings. The operation began in July 1975 , with a construction date in October 1976. This project series contains reproductions of implementation plans and design development drawings. The original drawings were produced in 1978-1979 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.
