Cottage High Legh
AP144.S2.D29
Description:
File documents an executed project for a gamekeeper's cottage next to a pheasantry in High Legh, Cheshire, England, to replace an existing dilapidated lodge. An early alternative proposal shows a scheme for renovating the existing building. Inexpensive materials and simple construction methods were specified in order to cut costs; local builders could be engaged to construct the cottage ('Architectural Design', January 1971, p. 35). Price also designed an addition for Cottage, High Legh (1977) which was not constructed (AP144.S2.D104). Preliminary plans and sketches include details for windows, a custom built-in cabinet, wall sections, and perspectives. Design development drawings include developed details including ones for a custom-designed fireplace, site axonometric, axonometric of cottage exterior, interior perspective of dining room, and exterior perspective showing front entrance. Working drawings are almost complete, and include survey notes and drawings of the existing lodge; site and floor plans, sections, and elevations; details for a fireplace, cloakroom and metalwork; a schedule for windows, doors, and the interior finishes; an axonometric for the roof; and a landscaping plan. The project was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 35, and in Price, Cedric. 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 51, 113. Material in this file was produced between 1961 - 1983, and predominantly between 1961 - 1965. File contains, design development drawings, working drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

AP027.S1.D34
Description:
This project series documents a series of commissions to study the various requirements for the future of the Montréal International Airport given the increase in traffic and potential future technological innovations in aviation. Van Ginkel Associates looked at three options: expanding the airport located in Dorval; abandonning Dorval as a site completely; and keeping the Dorval location and adding another airport at a new site. In their study they included future operations, systems, and the impact on the region, including site selection studies, studies of industrial and commercial development related to the airport, and its anticipated activity. Proposals for land use and the reorganization of the territory surrounding the new site were also presented.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for clusters of housing blocks in Navi Mumbai, likely sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. The project, proposed for the Kalamboli region of the city, consisted of the site development of diamond shaped housing blocks, each with a sports field in its centre courtyard. Two circular commerce blocks were also planned for the neighbourhood, as well as spaces for a school, playground, public utilities and community services. The project is recorded through original drawings of site plans and elevations, probably dating from sometime in the 1980s-1990s. It should be noted that the previous name of Navi Mumbai was New Bombay, which is the name used on these materials.
