Castelli House
Reference number:
AP143.S4.D26
Description:
This project series documents an unexecuted project for Castelli House, also known as House El Even Odd, designed for the exhibition "Houses for Sale" displayed at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York, and later at the James Corcoran Gallery in Los Angeles, United States. Material in this file was produced in 1980. There are few drawings by Eisenman for this house; he is most concerned with publication layouts in twelve of the drawings (DR1994:0140:001-012). An original transformation diagram documents the triple axonometric transformation of the "el" (DR1994:0140:051, published in Archer, 24-25). Two texts by Eisenman concerning House El Even Odd explain his intentions (published in Archer, 18-19). These texts, currently grouped with the material for Fin d'Ou T Hou S (DR1994:0141:250-252), are positive prints of the KC5 negative DR1994:0140:079. Fragments of models for House El Even Odd are also included in this project series; finished versions of the models are part of the CCA can be found in file DR1987:0857 and DR1987:0858. Note that model DR1994:0140:080 is in pieces and could not be measured. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, models, photographic material, and textual records. Conceptual drawings include plans and axonometrics - many graphite or black felt-tip pen on wove paper and some coloured felt-tip pen on tracing paper; and reprographic copies - one photocopy one wove paper. Design development drawings include plans, sections, and elevations - some graphite and/or black felt-tip pen on yellow trace. Presentation drawings include plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, and axonometrics - many pen and black ink and translucent adhesive coloured film on mylar and some pen and black ink on tracing vellum; reprographic copies - mostly blueline prints on wove paper; and one photomechanical print - on wove paper. Notes include notes and an invoice - one pen and black ink on wove paper and one graphite on ruled paper.

Description:
This series documents the architectural projects of Ábalos&Herreros from 1986 to 2006 and represents over 150 projects, including exhibitions. The firm worked on a wide variety of projects from commercial and residential structures to libraries and sewage treatment plants. The firm's design process was research oriented and involved conversations between Ábalos and Herreros, office collaborators, artists who partook in the projects, as well as other architects. Several projects found in this series were developed in collaboration with other architects including: José Manuel Ábalos; Salvador Pérez Arroyo; Filippo Costi; Ángel Jaramillo Esteban; Javier Fresneda; Eduardo Horta; Martín Marciano; Ángel Jaramillo Sánchez; Renata Sentkiewicz; and Héctor Vigliecca. Most projects were designed for the city of Madrid and the Community of Madrid. Projects were also developed for other sites in Spain, including the Canary Islands, as well as for sites in Portugal, Germany, the United States, and Brazil. Ábalos & Herreros often created new projects from the firm's existing work. The firm also identified their projects numerically. These identification numbers are documented at the project series level for each project. Among the materials documenting the firm's projects are conceptual, design development, presentation, and working drawings, as well as panels. There are also several CAD drawings and prints of born digital drawings. Documenting the firms conceptual process are collages and photomontages. Photographic materials included in this series depict project sites and built projects. Also included are a variety of research reference materials, correspondence, project documentation, and project submissions. Although creating models was not a common practice for the firm, there are a few project series which include models.

Projects were also developed for other sites in Spain, including the Canary Islands, as well as for sites in Portugal, Germany, the United States, and Brazil. Ábalos & Herreros often created new projects from the firm's existing work. The firm also identified their projects numerically. These identification numbers are documented at the project series level for each project. Among the materials documenting the firm's projects are conceptual, design development, presentation, and working drawings, as well as panels. There are also several CAD drawings and prints of born digital drawings. Documenting the firms conceptual process are collages and photomontages. Photographic materials included in this series depict project sites and built projects. Also included are a variety of research reference materials, correspondence, project documentation, and project submissions. Although creating models was not a common practice for the firm, there are a few project series which include models.

Description:
Series 1, BMW Welt development and construction records, 1994-2015, documents the design development and construction phases of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU BMW Welt building, located nearby the BMW headquarters in Munich. This series also contains some materials from the competition phase, corresponding to less than 2000 digital files, and models from the third phase of the competition. More than half of the records were created from 2003 to 2006. Records show how COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, and the numerous consultants on the project, materialized the original concept, from Wolf Prix sketch, of this cloud-like roof emerging from a double cone suggesting an hurricane eye. To achieve this, extensive digital structural testing was done with engineers Bollinger + Grohmann. Consultants list also include: - Hans Lechner ZT GmbH for in-house project management; - Schmitt, Stumpf, Frühauf + Partner for construction documents of concrete works, interior fittings, tender and construction administration; - Emmer Pfenninger + Partner AG for the facade; - Transsolar, Klima Engineering for the photovoltaic plant on the roof; - PRO, Elektroplan for electrical systems and lifts; - AG-Licht for lighting; - Büro Dr. Pfeiler for structural physics or building physics; - Theater Projekte Daberto+Kollegen for the stage and auditorium; - PBB Planungsbüro Balke for kitchen technology - realgruen Landschaftsarchitekten for lansdcape design; - Kersken & Kirchner for fire protection; - TAW Weisse for height accessibility planning, in consideration for maintenance access; - Lang & Brukhardt for traffic engineering; - Ingenieurbüro Schoenenberg for civil engineering and road construction; - Büro für Gestaltung / Wangler & Abele for signage; - And Zilch, Müller, Henneke as inspection engineers. The approximately 52,400 digital files include raster images, CAD drawings and 3D digital models, plotter files, standard office documents, databases, and scripts. Design files are predominantly in AutoCAD, but the archive also includes over 1,100 Rhinoceros files (primarily in Rhino version 2, with some files in versions 3 and 4) and a smaller number of files in Maya, 3D Studio, Microstation, form*Z, and Revit formats. Because the firm’s computing environment included Macs, the archive also includes a few AppleDouble resource forks. Often, CAD drawings were also saved as PDF files. Photographs and screen captures were most times saved as JPEG files. Finally, design files also include wireframes and renderings. Most often, design files are plans of a designated area, a complete level of the building for example, but they also often show very specific and technical details, such as a few millimetres to be corrected on a panel or a structural element. These types of corrections are frequently shown in PDF files where annotations were either made digitally, or they were handwritten on a printed version which would then be digitized. Design files document all parts of the building including the facade, the roof, the double cone (Doppelkegel), the restaurants, the shops, the exhibition areas, the auditorium, etc. Accompanying textual records are at times quite technical in their content, such as lists of construction elements required in a given room, or analysis reports from consulting engineers. They also take into account the organization and planning of the work, for example including documentation’s exchange or meeting agendas. Finally, they show the design development through presentations, either PDF or Powerpoint files, and through a portfolio of the project and the preparation of the book Dynamic Forces. The archive’s physical component includes 52 physical study models, which were used in combination with digital modeling tools to iteratively refine the building’s design. These are a selection made by the firm of study models from the later stages of the competition and the early stages of the design development.
