Project
AP056.S1.1997.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the general design for Crabtree & Evelyn stores across the Unites States from 1997-1998. The office identified the project number as 9716. This project consisted of the prototype design for the cosmetic and homecare stores. It was first implemented in Philadelphia, with subsequent stores in Roseville, Minnesota, Farmington, Connecticut and Raleigh, North Carolina following a similar design. These stores had custom display furnishings and fixtures including leaf-shaped tables, wavy tables, round cash counters, curved wood shelves in the corners and beech wood and sandblasted glass shelves lining the walls. The project is recorded through drawings and accompanying textual records dating from 1997-1998. The drawings include sketches, plans, elevations, perspectives, furnishings, details and construction drawings.

Competition and design
AP192.S1
Description:
Series 1: Competition and design, 1996 – 2014, consists of approximately 9000 born-digital files that document the competition and design phases of the Hypo Alpe-Adria Center. The majority of the records date from 1996 to 2001. This series largely contains materials relating to design, including files showing early conceptualization of the project, the competition entry, presentation boards, and various iterations of the design through the final design documentation. It is documented primarily through more than 3300 CAD drawings, including floorplans, sections, and elevations, whose formats include PowerCAD, PowerDraw, Microstation, and AutoCAD. There are also more than 650 image files, including renderings, sketches, and photographs of the physical model and construction site. This series also includes a limited amount of additional textual documentation.
