Potteries Thinkbelt
Reference number:
AP144.S2.D56
Description:
File documents the unexecuted project, Potteries Thinkbelt, conceived for North Staffordshire, England, United Kingdom. The proposal called for a network of educational facilities for 20,000 students to be located over a 100 square mile area northwest of London. Moveable components, including fold-out lecture/demonstration units, rail-based teaching units, self-teach carrel units, faculty units, and housing units, were to be dispersed along the rail system. Existing conditions materials include regional aerial photographs with overlays of the rail system, and photographs, photo collages and panoramas of the region. Schematic sketches and drawings show the development of Price's design. Regional plans examine links between new and existing rail systems and national transportation networks and their projected use. Diagrammatic plans illustrate the relationships between recommended functions/activities attributed to specific areas. Detailed plans, sections, elevations, and axonometric drawings show housing types (sprawl, capsule, and crate), faculty and transfer areas in Madeley, Pitts Hill, and Meir. Other materials include regional land-use plans, photomontages with drawn perspectives, thumbnail sketches, life-span charts, conceptual sketches, aerial photographs and reprographic copies, some rendered and annotated. Many of the drawings were published in Price, Cedric. "PTB, Potteries Thinkbelt: A Plan for an Advanced Educational Industry in North Staffordshire." 'Architectural Design'. (October, 1966), 483-497; in Price, Cedric and Paul Barker, "The Potteries Thinkbelt", 'New Society' (June 1966) 14-17; and in Price, Cedric "Potteries Thinkbelt: Project for an Education Industry", 'Bauen & Wohnen', no. 9 (1967) 351-360. Material in this file was created between 1939 and 1987 but predominantly between 1963 and 1967. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, publication drawings, reference drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

Reference number:
AP144.S2.D32
Description:
File documents an executed project for a garden pavilion and pool in Worthing, West Sussex, England, for the two children of Mr and Mrs T. L. Blau. The design includes "anti-adult" elements such as the pavilion's low ceiling and a steep, open stair leading to an upper deck. The children assisted with the construction and were given notes concerning the pavilion's long-term maintenance. Untreated cedar boards were used for the pavilion's exterior due to the site's close proximity to the sea. In addition to working drawings, the file contains a site plan of existing conditions, design development sketches of alternative layouts for pavilion, pool and deck areas. Material in this file was produced between 1962 and 1975, but predominantly 1962. File contains working drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

Description:
File documents the work of the Lightweight Enclosures Unit (LEU) which was set up by Frank Newby and Cedric Price after their completion of a UK government research programme into air structures in 1969 (see Air Structures Research AP144.S2.D63). The work of LEU included research and design into the social, economic and structural development of lightweight enclosures. The LEU published a bibliography for the industry on air structures in 1972 titled 'Air Structures Bibliography, B0001-0069 and B0070-0119. It also helped produce the report BS6661:1986 'Design, construction and maintenance of single-skin air supported structures', and reviewed lightweight enclosures in AD 8/71, p 465. LEU was commissioned to write 'Air Support Structures: BSI Draft for Development Code of Practice' (DD50). This work is documented in DOE Air Structure (AP144.S2.D91). Frank Newby continued to work on the review of DD50 up until the 1980s. Material in this file was produced between 1956 and 1993. Group DR2004:1356 contains a 1973 drawing attributed to Pierre Martin for S.A.S. (Lausanne). Group DR2004:1353 contains reference drawings by architect Rurik Ekstrom, for Antioch Pneumatic Campus, Columbia Maryland (1972).

AP144.S2.D79
Description:
File documents the work of the Lightweight Enclosures Unit (LEU) which was set up by Frank Newby and Cedric Price after their completion of a UK government research programme into air structures in 1969 (see Air Structures Research AP144.S2.D63). The work of LEU included research and design into the social, economic and structural development of lightweight enclosures. The LEU published a bibliography for the industry on air structures in 1972 titled 'Air Structures Bibliography, B0001-0069 and B0070-0119.
