Description:
The papers in this collection are related to the participation of Barry Campbell in a project to create a 1:50 scale model for the Maison d'Artiste, an unbuilt project designed by architects Theo van Doesburg and Cor van Eesteren in 1923. The model, sponsored by lawyer Piet Sanders and Barry Campbell, was made by Frans Postma and was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal (2009-2010) and the Tate Modern (2010) as part of the exhibition "Van Doesburg and the International Avant Garde: Constructing a New World". In 2013, Barry Campbell, Frans Postma and Victor Veldhuijzen van Zanten donated the 1:50 model to Het Nieuwe Instituut/The New Institute in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Piet Sanders, who died in September, 2012, was also named as a donor). A 1:75 scale model was made for each of the donors. Textual records in the collection include correspondence, a copy of the donor agreement, and a text by Bertus Mulder. Drawings include printouts of plans, elevations, sections, and perspectives. There are also photographs of drawings. Digital files consist of a panorama by Postma & Partner. The collection includes a printout of a photograph of Barry Campbell with the 1:50 model.

Sub-series
AP178.S1.2002.PR06.SS1
Description:
This project subseries documents the Parque de Pedras Salgadas, Hotel Avelames, Spa e Casa de Chá in Pedras Salgadas, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 50/00. The office assigned the date 2002 to this project. This project consisted of extensive work to the Hotel Avelames, the thermal spa and the Casa de Chà at the Pedras Salgadas Spa and Nature Park. The building program proposed the demolition of the Hotel Avelames due to the deficiency of previous alterations and enlargements to the historic building. A new four-storey hotel was proposed in its place. The thermal spa building was reimagined and modernized with an indoor pool, treatment and relaxation rooms and a sauna. The historic Casa de Chà building was also reimagined and became the Casa de Chà restaurant. Additional work was proposed for other buildings on the property, including the Casas das Freiras, to create tourist villas, but this work was not realized. The project subseries is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, study models and textual records dating from 2002-2010. The drawings are mostly reprographic copies, some with annotations and sketches, of plans, elevations, sections, details, demolition drawings, and structural, mechanical and electrical drawings. The photographic materials primarily consist of printed digital photos that show the site, historic hotel and construction work. The textual records include site reports, building programs, permit documentation, specifications, correspondence, meeting minutes, supplier records, and documentation on structural, mechanical and electrical systems.
