Description:
Series 1, Architectural Projects (1990-2012, predominant 1990-1996) contains files for seven projects developed by Shoei Yoh and the firm Shoei Yoh + Architects. Six of these projects were developed during the period 1990-1996 in Japan. The Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium in Imizu, Toyama Prefecture, Japan, is the most voluminous project file and is related to two other projects in the series—the Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and the Prospecta Toyama ’92 Observatory Tower. The Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium were developed at approximately the same time, and, for both projects, digital technology was used to calculate the dimensions of elements in a space frame roof structure. The Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium and the Prospecta Toyama ’92 Observatory Tower were both designed by Shoei Yoh for the 1st Japan Expo Toyama ’92 (JET ‘92) and each of the two project files contains some material related to the other. The Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium project contains CAD files related to the roof design, printouts from computer simulations of the roof, design drawings, presentation material, architectural and structural working drawings, models and textual records. The project file for the Odawara Municipal Sports Complex contains some design drawings--including printouts from computer simulations of the roof, proposal documents and some photographs of the site. The other built projects—the Prospecta Toyama ’92 Observatory Tower, the Glass Station, the Naiju Community Center and Nursery School, and the Uchino Community Center for Seniors and Children—are documented through drawings, models, and photographic material. The final project file in the series--a project for a tower in Taichung, Taiwan—is composed of a few presentation documents. Drawings in the series include hand drawings and printouts or photocopies of images created using digital design software. Apart from the CAD files related to the roof design for the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium, digital material in the series is composed of still images in .jpg format related to the projects for the Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium. Some of the documents in .jpg format are duplicates of paper documents in the series.

This series documents publications by Ábalos&Herreros and by the firm's publishing house Liga Multimedia Internaciónal (LMI). It includes a doctoral thesis “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas; a book series titled “Exit”; writings about the firm for an issue of 2G: International Architecture Review, no. 22; “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros; as well as various publications by Abalos & Herreros and other authors. “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas was published at the LMI. Documenting the publication are copies of the doctoral thesis, dummies, proofs, correspondence, contracts, reports, and an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) request form. Material was produced between 1972 and 1996. The book series “Exit” was also published by the LMI. Five titles were published and a sixth was in development, when the project was abandoned for unknown reasons. The publications in the series were titled: Exit 1: Exit; Exit 2: Las Afueras : siete visiones de la vida metropolitana; Exit 3: Le Corbusier. Rascacielos; Exit 4: [unknown]; and Exit 5: Natural artificial. Exit 2’s project title was “Madrid Metrópolis” and was changed later to “Las Afueras […]”. However, Abalos & Herreros did publish a book entitled “Madrid Metrópolis”, but there is no relation between the two publications. Documenting the book series are correspondence, a dummy, publications, notes, clippings, plans, invoices, contracts, and reference, digital, graphic and photographic materials. The publication “Abalos & Herreros” featured in the 2G: International architecture review, no 22 includes plans and illustrations. The issue is about Abalos & Herreros’ work from the 1990s. Documenting the publication are design development, presentation, and work drawings, as well as textual records. The publication of “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros was documented in phases of its creation.

Two Tree Island
Two Tree Island
Reference number:
AP144.S2.D84
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for Two Tree Island, the last uninhabited island in the Thames Estuary, in Essex, England. Cedric Price collaborated with Yorke Rosenberg Mardall Architects (YMR) on the project for client David Keddie, to develop a 178-hectare site on the island which encompassed both existing and reclaimed land, some of which was reserved under a trust for nature conservation. Early proposals showed residential areas, commercial, as well as, industrial zones, and facilities for recreation and leisure activities, including a marina. The final design proposed a much smaller residential area and harbour and included larger conservation and marshland areas in response to local concerns. The project was rejected and a portion of Two Tree Island was leased to the Nature Conservancy (NERC). An Appeal and Public Enquiry lodged by the client was subsequently indefinitely postponed. The architects produced several versions of a consultant's report, created a 'logbook' for the project, and published a brochure and promotional material for a public meeting. Existing conditions and reference material in the file includes maps of the area showing locations for a photo survey; Port of Authority of London plans showing water depths at various locations; a drawing of Marine Island, Essex; and a collage of photos of the area mounted on a board. Sketches by Cedric Price show development plans for the island and explore alternate "open" and "closed" configurations for the basin. Sketch sections show established maximum flood heights on the proposed schemes (see sketches in Works II, p. 86). A series of schematic drawings by YMR develop preliminary schemes exploring alternate layouts in relation to the primary basin configuration. A perspective drawing shows a view of the site from the main road to the island. Design development drawings include both original drawings and reprographic copies and include bird's-eye view perspective sketches; diagrams showing "domestic development" and projected "typical patterning"; and diagrammatic plans/charts showing existing and reclaimed areas, compatibility of activities, and degrees of accessibility (see typical diagram in Works II, p. 87). Other design development drawings include standard plans, sections and elevations, as well as site plans, land-use plans for the marina, plans showing alternate layouts for the marina dock, plans showing Thames tidal defences, site sections, and breakwater profiles. Working drawings for the marina by consulting engineers Sir Frederick Snow and Partners include survey plans, detailed sections illustrating the reinforcement and stabilization of the marine bed, and task sequencing diagrams and charts. Publication and presentation material includes photographs of rendered perspectives, over 18 watercolour renderings of Two Tree Island by Cedric Price, and a mock-up for a 13-page brochure or report summarizing the project. Many drawings are also included in the textual records, which also include Cedric Price's diary on the project. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 86-87. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1989, but predominantly between 1971 and 1974. Cedric Price's office lists the following firms as the main consultants for this project: Felix J. Samuely & Partners and Sir Frederick Snow & Partners, Consulting Engineers; Baker Wilkins & Smith, Quantity Surveyors; Prof. Peter Cowan, Director, Joint Unit for Planning Research; Prof. Peter Willmott, Director Institute of Community Studies; Prof. G. P. Wibberley, Professor of Countryside Planning, University of London; M. A. B. Boddington, Rural Planning Services. One drawing in DR1995:0255:011-021 is attributed to Costain Civil Engineering Ltd. File contains cartographic materials, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, consultant drawings, model, and textual records.

Sketch sections show established maximum flood heights on the proposed schemes (see sketches in Works II, p. 86). A series of schematic drawings by YMR develop preliminary schemes exploring alternate layouts in relation to the primary basin configuration. A perspective drawing shows a view of the site from the main road to the island. Design development drawings include both original drawings and reprographic copies and include bird's-eye view perspective sketches; diagrams showing "domestic development" and projected "typical patterning"; and diagrammatic plans/charts showing existing and reclaimed areas, compatibility of activities, and degrees of accessibility (see typical diagram in Works II, p. 87). Other design development drawings include standard plans, sections and elevations, as well as site plans, land-use plans for the marina, plans showing alternate layouts for the marina dock, plans showing Thames tidal defences, site sections, and breakwater profiles. Working drawings for the marina by consulting engineers Sir Frederick Snow and Partners include survey plans, detailed sections illustrating the reinforcement and stabilization of the marine bed, and task sequencing diagrams and charts. Publication and presentation material includes photographs of rendered perspectives, over 18 watercolour renderings of Two Tree Island by Cedric Price, and a mock-up for a 13-page brochure or report summarizing the project. Many drawings are also included in the textual records, which also include Cedric Price's diary on the project. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 86-87. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1989, but predominantly between 1971 and 1974. Cedric Price's office lists the following firms as the main consultants for this project: Felix J. Samuely & Partners and Sir Frederick Snow & Partners, Consulting Engineers; Baker Wilkins & Smith, Quantity Surveyors; Prof. Peter Cowan, Director, Joint Unit for Planning Research; Prof. Peter Willmott, Director Institute of Community Studies; Prof. G. P. Wibberley, Professor of Countryside Planning, University of London; M. A. B. Boddington, Rural Planning Services. One drawing in DR1995:0255:011-021 is attributed to Costain Civil Engineering Ltd. File contains cartographic materials, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, consultant drawings, model, and textual records.
Two Tree Island
Actions:
AP144.S2.D84
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for Two Tree Island, the last uninhabited island in the Thames Estuary, in Essex, England. Cedric Price collaborated with Yorke Rosenberg Mardall Architects (YMR) on the project for client David Keddie, to develop a 178-hectare site on the island which encompassed both existing and reclaimed land, some of which was reserved under a trust for nature conservation. Early proposals showed residential areas, commercial, as well as, industrial zones, and facilities for recreation and leisure activities, including a marina. The final design proposed a much smaller residential area and harbour and included larger conservation and marshland areas in response to local concerns. The project was rejected and a portion of Two Tree Island was leased to the Nature Conservancy (NERC). An Appeal and Public Enquiry lodged by the client was subsequently indefinitely postponed. The architects produced several versions of a consultant's report, created a 'logbook' for the project, and published a brochure and promotional material for a public meeting. Existing conditions and reference material in the file includes maps of the area showing locations for a photo survey; Port of Authority of London plans showing water depths at various locations; a drawing of Marine Island, Essex; and a collage of photos of the area mounted on a board. Sketches by Cedric Price show development plans for the island and explore alternate "open" and "closed" configurations for the basin.
