Project
AP206.S1.1985.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a housing study for Dr. Bhimrao Ambedker University in Lucknow, India around 1985. This project consisted of multi-storey buildings arranged in clusters. The buildings had three apartments on each floor and were joined to create common courtyards. Diamond shaped buildings with centre courtyards were also investigated for a different area of the campus, as well as a nursery school, shopping complex, administrative block and information tower. The architect also made recommendations to build facilities near the campus for recycling, waste water, vegetables and livestock, stating that doing so would avoid the natural occurrence of slums that served a similar purpose. The project is recorded through original drawings of site, floor and landscaping plans, as well as elevations and photographic negatives of the project model, likely dating from around 1985.

AP178.S1.1988.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the Casa Guardiola in Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 56/80. The office assigned the date 1988 to this project. The project consisted of a house located on the Bay of Cadiz in Santa Maria del Mar in Spain. The holiday house was comissioned by a bull breeder. The client asked for four different architects to propose a design. These architects were Álvaro Siza, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk, and Frank Gehry. Siza's design included a structure of reinforced concrete and a series of courtyards. None of the architects' proposals were built. Documenting this project are sketches, studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, competition documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the model.
