DR1988:0400
Description:
- This reprographic copy shows designs for seven rectangular and two circular plaster panels for the showrooms in Electric House. Each of the rectangular panels highlights a different aspect of electricity consumption. For example, the upper left panel, titled "ELECTRICITY.IN.THE.CITY"; depicts the London skyline at night. - This work is part of an incomplete group of possibly working reprographic copies for Electric House, Battersea Borough, designed by the borough architect, Henry Hyams. The group also includes some reprographic copies which may have been used for publication purposes. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be directly linked to an article published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).

DR1980:0060:002
Description:
- This first floor plan, with the perspective (DR1980:0060:001) and the second floor plan (DR1980:0060:003) form a set of early presentation drawings. The scale is probably 1/4" = 1' (see object file, de Long report). This plan indicates reworking in the porch/stair and service entrance areas which appear in Hitchcock's book (plate 201) and were built as sketched. The fireplace and seat in the living room were shifted and subsequently built as sketched, as was the ice room. The wall added to the right was shifted back in the final Hitchcock plan. The entry behind the livingroom has sketched-in doors at the rear, as seen in the Hitchcock drawing -- other doors do not yet appear, nor does the garden court. The house became more private in the final adjustments to the site. Wright's further changes are: the wall extending left was crossed out; a freehand wall is roughed in to right; heavy masonry walls are roughed in to left over former wall. (There are other miscellaneous markings and crosshatchings in the reworking.)

Project
AP178.S1.1983.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the Casa Mário Bahia in Gondomar, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 17/80. The office assigned the date 1983 to this project. The project files document a house comissionned by Mário Bahia. The 340 square metre home was supposed to be built on the slope of the river Douro. The design included five bedrooms and four bathrooms. An elevator and stairway were proposed to link the garage to the house. The house was not built. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, working drawings, structural drawings and technical drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the model.
