Tumbleweeds Catcher (1972)
AP207.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
The project series documents "Tumbleweeds Catcher", an installation by Pettena and a group of his students from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, in 1972. The installation consisted of a tower-scaffold built on a vacant lot near the city centre and covered with mesh so it could capture the tumbleweeds blown by the wind. Through this installation Pettena's intention was to "highlight the 'work of the land', the tumbleweeds moved by the wind and intercepted by the mesh of the tower, 'naturalize' it, contaminate it, thereby embodying the revenge of nature over urbanized space." [1] A second edition was later presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2013. The project series contains photographs of the installation in 1972 and 2013, and drawings and sketches of the tower. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor. Non-conscious architecture: Gianni Pettena, Sternberg Press, 2018, 235 pages. p. 162.

Project
AP018.S1.1978.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a site study for the new National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7809. In 1977, Parkin Architects Planners won a limited architectural competition for their design of the new National Gallery of Canada. The selected site for the competition, next to the Ottawa River, was controversial due to its uneven ground and lack of access to main streets in Ottawa. This project consisted of an extended site study for the construction of that building following the announcement of the competition winner if the original site was to be used. This was a brief urban design study to consider appropriate massing, exterior spaces, access, and vistas to and from the proposed building. It also included studying the best use of land next to the new gallery. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1978. The textual records include the predesign programme and schemes, correspondence, notes, meeting reports and research.
