Auditorium, Claverton Bath
AP144.S2.D41
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for a domed auditorium at Claverton in Bath, England, for the American Museum in Britain. Adapted from Buckmister Fuller's design for the Radome it was to serve as a multipurpose auditorium and exhibition space. The 250-seat auditorium was enclosed by a double dome construction which could be raised and lowered by hydraulic jacks. Design development sketches and perspective studies show various layouts for seating, and diagrams contain directions for erecting the stage and positioning the dome. A section shows the major components: the dome, both lowered and raised; the location of the hydraulic jacks, screens, and baffles; and the seating layout. Two interior perspectives show the dome both raised and lowered. Material in this file was produced between 1962 and 1964. Some perspective diagrams in the file are attributed to M. Haxworth. File contains design development drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

Series
AP179.S2
Description:
Series 2, Witte Arts Center, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 2000 – 2002, documents the development of a project (unrealized) by Office d’A in response to a real estate brief for a floor of artists’ studios supported by a street level gallery in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The design for the Witte Arts Center addresses functional architectural concerns like light and circulation through elements such as suspended skylights and an open-air staircase. For the staircase in particular, corbelled brick patterning around the interior stairs creates a distortion of the building’s façade nicknamed “the smile.” The series consists of sketches, drawings and reprographic copies from the pre-design to design development phases of the project, a model, and photographic materials. Textual records in the series include correspondence, meeting notes and vendor catalogues. Digital material consists of CAD drawings, 3D models and renderings, images of the model and drawings, correspondence and other documents.

Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1960s. The architectural firm in charge of the project was Underwood McKinley Cameron. The housing development "was comprised of a nine-storey apartment building with one-bedroom apartments and studios, and a series of three- and four-storey maisonettes." [1] As landscape architect, Oberlander worked on the site planning, grading and drainage, as well as the planting plan. She also designed recreational spaces for adults and children. The project series contains five photographs of the project, specifications, a plant list and a reprographic copy of a working drawing. Source: [1] Herrington, Susan.
