Project
Westpen
AP144.S2.D101
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for Westpen, an animal enclosure for the property at West Green House at Hartley Wintney, in Hampshire, England, and also the location for the project Greenbird (AP144.S2.D96). The pen can be adapted for several uses and its pivoting and sliding gates can be removed when not used for livestock, to be converted into a sculptured landscape for picnicking and leisure activities. Conceptual drawings include diagrammatic sketches which show the movement of animals through the pen for collecting, weighing, cleaning, and shearing. Sketches show pivoting rails, and preliminary plans are annotated with individual gate dimensions. Design development and working drawings illustrate the development of the pen components: 8 ft swing slide and cattle gates; 3 ft sheep gates; a sheep dip and footbath area; a sheep drafting and guillotine gate; and feed bins. Plans and details show the concrete apron and pre-formed gate sockets. Reprographic copies made from a consultant's drawings show the configuration of gates and hurdles. Some material in this file was published in Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 79. Material in this file was produced between 1977 and 1979. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, model, photographic materials and textual records.

Series
AP193.S1
Description:
Series 1, Water Flux and Scrambled Flat, 2002-2010, documents the conception and evolution of a project that was originally a farm building and later became a geology and glaciology museum and research center focused on the Swiss Alps. The project was never realized. R&Sie(n) conceptualized Scrambled Flat as an experimental farm. The project goal was to reconcile European Union’s agricultural regulations, imposing a separation between animal and human living, to the community of Évolène traditional way of living, contiguously with animals, benefiting from the resources they offer. As conceived, Scrambled Flat creates an environment where fluidity between the existence of the animals and the humans is materialized. The size of the form is also adapted from a typical local rural house and exploits the heat of the animals and the insulation of the hay. For this project, R&Sie(n) approached the mayor of the community with the design proposition. The mayor then called for a competition, while also changing the program to an ecology museum and research center illustrating the local effects of global warming and the thawing of the Alps. R&Sie(n) won the competition with Water Flux, a reinterpretation of Scrambled Flat. The project was intended to uncover and exorcise the anxieties of ecological disaster, and the principle of flux related to seasonal change and, more broadly, climate change. The firm designed rooms that reproduce the geological and meteorological environment of the high mountains making it visible and experimental, offering refrigerated spaces for art installations and scientific demonstrations. The concept was also to build with the use of new technologies such as digital modelling, point scanning, and computer numerical control (CNC), combined with ancient local knowledge of knocking on trees to decide which specific pines have the best wood for construction. The building is designed to be constructed with local lamellar wood milled by nearby CNC. The resulting parts would be used for the structure, the insulation, the waterproofing and both the interior and exterior finishes. The design includes a grille wrapping the building, reproducing the profile of traditional houses and enclosure and making it possible to hold the snow inside a typo-morphological imprint. Therefore, the transformable envelope of the building reacts to the rhythm of the seasons. In the winter, the structure would appear like a solid cut-out of ice and snow, with cavities similar to those found in glaciers. In the summer, it would resemble piles of stones used in these areas to make borders. A small pool would collect rainwater and supply it to an interior artificial snowmaking system designed for the gallery. Transformation of the water is an integral part of the design. The records contain images of plans, sections, details for the structure of the façade, renderings, plans of the engineered structure, and photographs documenting the conception of the models with the CNC machinery. The Rhino 3D modelling files are also part of the records along with AutoCAD models and a video documenting the process. The records contain two physical models: a smaller polymer model at 1:20 scale representing the whole structure of the building, and a larger 1:1 latch wood fragment representing detail of the structure in its integrality.

CI005.S1.1942.PR1
Description:
Dissatisfied with the original plans by architect Van Nieuwenhuyzen for the construction of the Spaarbank, the Rotterdam Town Plan Advisory Bureau commissioned Oud to instead design the bank in 1942 with Van Nieuwenhuyzen acting as adviser. Oud presented his original design in 1942: it featured a five-storey building with a facade of glazed brick, a frosted glass ceiling in the main hall and chromium- and metal- plated window frames. Oud limited his use of decorations in his revised plan, assigning artist, Aart van den IJssel, to create symbolic animal sculptures. Oud also designed some of its furniture (Taverne et al. 2001, 437-439). Project series includes photographs of the furniture for the Spaarbank as well as plans.

AP018.S1.1964.PR06
Description:
This project series documents the Warner-Lambert Research Institute of Canada in Sheridan Park, Mississauga, Ontario from 1964-1966. The office identified the project number as 6417. This project consisted of administrative offices, laboratories and animal rooms housed in a 30,000 square foot building. The single-storey building was raised on a 3-foot podium and its exteriors were comprised of white brick with dark solar bronze glazed windows breaking up the façade. The H-shaped building was built with rigorous temperature controls and vermin proof electrical systems. This project is recorded through drawings and a presentation panel dating from 1964 to around 1966. The drawings are all reprographic copies and consist of plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and structural drawings. The presentation panel shows the completed building.
