Steel House
AP144.S2.D60
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry, in collaboration with Miles Park, Douglas Smith and Frank Newby, for a mass-produced housing system using steel, for a competition sponsored by the European Coal and Steel Community. Requirements called for rapid assembly/disassembly, and flexible unit plans that could be altered by home owners and appeal to a wide range of owners and their preferences. Schematic sketches include exterior elevations, floor plans, preliminary details, and charts for building components. Conceptual sketches show alternate unit and floor plan arrangements, and include network analysis plans, site maximization plans based on transportability, family breakdown diagrams, alternate internal unit layout plans based on age and other factors, functional area plans indicating separation possibilities, and charts which cross-reference factors such as transportability, construction, and assembly requirements. Design development drawings show typical plans, site plans, sections, elevations, details, axonometric drawings of structure and cladding, internal units, and components. Some material in this file was published in Price, Cedric, "Steel Housing", 'Architectural Design', vol. 37, (May 1967) 244, and Price, Cedric, 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984) 36, 49-50, 113. Material in this file was produced between 1965 and 1969. 'High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community' is the full name of the client as found in the textual records. The title of the competition is 'International Competition for the Design of Industrially Fabricated Dwellings'. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, photographic material, presentation panels, textual records, and model.

Join us on 8 May at 6pm for a lecture by Noelia Monteiro on her work at Estudio Flume. The studio, based in São Paulo, develops socio-environmental projects in remote areas of Brazil, aiming to protect traditional communities that preserve the Amazon rainforest. Monteiro’s work poses a key question: in the face of resource scarcity, how can we build with almost nothing?(...)

AP075.S1.1950.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's design for a small neighbourhood park for the John Hay Association at the corner of Marshall Street and Wharton Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The park is now known as Gold Star Park. Oberlander worked on this project in 1950 while working for the Citizen's Council on City Planning (CCCP) as community planner. The playground includes a circular play area on concrete pavement with a sandbox in the middle, and a quiet area with seatting separated from the play area by large shade trees. The project series contains only a landscape plan of the playground. Source: Herrington, Susan. Cornelia Hahn Oberlander: Making the Modern Landscape, University of Virginia Press, 2014, 304 pages.

Project
AP151.S1.D3
Description:
File documents an executed project for a parish house and cloister and for parking and planting for the Wayfarers' Chapel. The project for the Parish House and Cloister was part of the 1947 conception ffor the Chapel and was the third unit of construction, after the chapel proper and the campanile. In its conception, this project consisted of a cloister, cloister garden, and a community house, later renamed the parish house. The concept as it was developed between 1954 and 1957 resulted in the construction of the parish house and cloister; the cloister garden was developed separately at a later date, ca. 1959 (DR1987:0698). Material in the file was produced between 1953 and 1959. File contains conceptual, design and design development drawings with a few presentation and technical drawings.

AP164.S1.1986.D5
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of three residual water treatment plants in Madrid, Spain from 1986 to 1988. Each plant was built in a different municipality of the city: the first plant, referred to as El Endrinal, was built in Collado-Villalba; the second plant in Majadahonda; and the third, referred to as El Chaparral, in Guadarrama. These plants are key elements in the passage between sewage and the river. They were executed for the water management company Canal de Isabel II Gestión, responsible for the water cycle for the Community of Madrid. The firm identified this project as number 40. Documenting the project are design development and working drawings, textual records, and photographic materials. The Majadahonda and Guadarrama plants were built at the same time.
