Description:
Series documents competition entries and projects by Peter Eisenman, and by the successive firms of Peter D. Eisenman, Architect; Eisenman/Robertson Architects; Design Development Resources, Limited Partnership; Esienman/Trott Architects; and Eisenman Architects. Several projects were carried out in association with other architects, institutions, and firms, including Michael Graves, the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), Hanna/Olin Ltd., Steven Holl Architects, and Robert A.M. Stern Architects. A majority of projects were designed for the United States, Germany, and Japan. Other project locations include Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Canada, Switzerland, Kuwait, Belgium, South Korea, Australia, and China. Material in this series was produced between 1925 and 2007. Series contains competition drawings, conceptual and design development drawings, publication and presentation drawings and panels, reference drawings, and working drawings. It also contains photographic materials, textual records, models and artefacts. Series is roughly arranged chronologically by project date. Beginning sometime in the 1980s, project documents were sometimes identified by the office using the following numbering system: x-yy-zz AAA x = administrative category 1 - Administrative and General Indirect 2- General Promotion 3- Business Development 4- Publication and Promotion 5- Direct Fee (billable) 6- Products and other Design (non-billable) yy = year zz = Project # (assigned sequentially each year starting with 01) AAA= abbreviated name of project, e.g. PAS for Perth Amboy High School (used intermittently)

DR1974:0002:021:001-033
Description:
- This album contains studies by Charles Rohault de Fleury of the five classical orders. The majority of the drawings are from his student years at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (1822-1825). Others are from his student years at the Ecole Polytechnique (1820-1822), or drawings executed while he was a practicing architect (after 1825). Although the drawings are not physically organized into categories within the album, they can be divided into three groups according to their architectural sources: paradigmatic examples taken from named monuments of Greek and Roman architecture, examples taken from unnamed architectural monuments or treatises, and examples after 16th century Italian and French interpretors of the classical tradition, such as Palladio, Serlio, Vignola and Delorme. The only exception to these categories is the drawing of the "soubassement" for the pavilions of the Louvre (DR1974:0002:021:032 R/V). Most of the drawings focus on the proportions of the orders, their disposition within the portico in terms of intercolumnar spacing and number of columns, and the proper moulding and ornamentation particular to each order. This album also contains four etchings of similar subject matter by Gaitte, Stévigny, Piranesi, and an unknown early 19th century etcher.
