Joseph Rykwert fonds
AP209
Synopsis:
The Joseph Rykwert fonds, 1928-2022, documents Joseph Rykwert’s career as an architectural historian, author and professor. The fonds includes the records for over a dozen monographs written between the mid-1960s and the mid-2010s as well as edited works and articles, and details his teaching and lecturing activities from the 1960s onwards in universities in Europe and the United States. The records highlight Joseph Rykwert’s multidisciplinary approach, which involved archaeology, anthropology and psychoanalysis in his study of the history and theory of architecture and of the urban form. The fonds is composed of textual records, publications and ephemera, and of photographs including multiple albums and a large number of slides; the fonds also documents Joseph Rykwert’s career as an independent designer through drawings realized between the late 1940s and the late 1970s.

AP180.S1.1986.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Casa sul Lungomare, an unrealized project for the restauration of a historic three-storey house on Lungamore in Otranto, Italy. This project was undertaken in the context of the Piano di recupero di Otranto, an urban renewal scheme for the north-east sector of the historic centre of Otranto. Riva worked on this project from 1986-1987. The project series contains studies for the historic building and design development drawings, including exterior elevations, floor plans, and sections. It also contains presentation drawings showing the proposed scheme, including site plans, elevations, and plans of the existing buildings in the Piano di recupero di Otranto.

AP207.S1.1971.PR05
Description:
The project series documents the performance "Falsa Curva D'Autostrada", also know in English as Fake Expressway Bend. The performance was undertaken with a group of Pettena's students from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Minneapolis, in 1971. It consisted of hanging a large tarp from the overpass of an expressway under construction. The tarp extended to the road underneath and was used to create a fake bend in the overpass. The performance was targeting "the excess of uniformity in urban design" by reimagining the linearity of the overpass into a fake curve. The project series contains two photographs of the fake expressway bend, two sketches for the installation, and project descriptions in English and in Italian.

CI005.S1.1919.PR3
Description:
The post-First World War shortage of affordable housing led the city of Rotterdam to initiate low income dwelling developments to alleviate the crisis in housing for working class residents. Oud's involvement with the Rotterdam Housing Authority -- the Rotterdam Woningdienst -- allowed him to use public housing projects as a platform for his ideas about urban development, including this design for a semi-detached dwelling in reinforced concrete. Oud's plans were never realized as Rotterdam only experimented with concrete building projects later, in 1921 (Taverne et al. 2001,191, 210-212). The project series includes Oud's drawings of plans for the Double Worker's Dwelling in Reinforced Concrete.
