Inflow Capsule
AP144.S2.D69
Description:
File documents a report by Cedric Price on Inflow Capsule, a concept for the Selfridges store, on Oxford Street, London, England. The design concept called for a self-contained unit at street level that would act as a funnel to attract customers into large department stores. The capsule would contain goods, displays, screens, its own illumination, heating and visual feeds. It would combine entertainment with selling and thus construct a new atmosphere for the market place. Material in this file was produced in 1967. File contains textual records.

Trafalgar
AP144.S2.D114
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful entry in a competition to design a structure for the British National Gallery, on a site adjacent to its building at Trafalgar Square, London, England. The structure's top floor would be comprised of top-lit galleries for the National Gallery, while the lower part would house a private development. A file (DR2004:1156) is probably misnumbered with the Tate project (AP144.S2.D171). Material in this file was produced in 1982 and in 1987, but predominantly in 1982. File contains design development drawings, presentation drawings, panels, and textual records.
