Named after Super City, a kit(...)

Description:
Sub-file documents unexecuted projects for the Tate Gallery New Museums, in London, England. These additions to the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) were planned in several phases, to be constructed as funding was made available. The proposals included the Museum of Modern Sculpture, the Museum of New Art and a Study Centre to be erected on the Queen Alexandra Military Hospital site, situated to the east of the main Tate Gallery building. A Children's Museum was also planned. The New Museums projects were called off in 1987. Material in this Sub-file was produced between 1979 and 1988. Sub-file contains measured and reference drawings, several conceptual and design development drawings as well as presentation drawings. Photographic materials include views of drawings and of a presentation model by Kandor Modelmakers. Sub-file also contains textual records.

Description:
- This drawing shows a three storey Tudor Revival building with a sign at the front which reads "SPRING / COTTAGE". There is a parking lot visible behind the building, and there are several people - men, women, and children - standing in front of and at the entrance to the building. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).

AP206.S1.1983.PR03
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for an office block and residences called Electra Complex in Meerut, India around 1983. The competition entry proposed a mid-rise office block with decks wrapping the building's exterior, which would connect via ramp to the neighbouring residential block. Both building types would feature shops, walkways and parking at their ground level. The proposal also included the design of a children's park next to the residential complex. This project is recorded through drawings, including a large number of reprographic copies, textual records and a photograph and negatives dating from around 1983. The drawings consist of plans, elevations, sections and perspectives, while the textual records consist of the project proposal report with the accompanying photo and drawings. The negatives are of the architects with presentation materials and reproduced drawings. It does not appear that this project was ever built.

This project subseries documents the Piscina Pública 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 dates 2008-2010 to this project. This project consisted of two outdoor public pools for the Pedras Salgadas Spa and Nature Park. One large pool was built for adults and a smaller children's pool sat diagonally from it. A small building that contained a bar was also built next to the pools. The project was realized. This project subseries is documented through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 2007-2010. The drawings are mostly printed reprographic copies of CAD drawings, many of which have annotations, showing plans and details. The photographic materials, which are printed digital photos, show the site and construction. The textual records include technical documentation for the water, fire and gas systems, structural and electrical documentation, supplier catalogues, budgets, specifications and correspondence.
