Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Korean American Museum of Art and Cultural Centre in Los Angeles in 1995. The office identified the project number as 9501. Headed by Bruce Kuwabara, this project proposed a three-storey building with a tall rotunda as its focal point at the corner of Olympic Boulevard and Irolo Street. The design included spaces for galleries, offices, studios, a library, an outdoor terrace that wrapped the rotunda's exterior, and a large theatre that spanned the three-storey height. Traditional Korean gardens were to make up a large part of the museum's outdoor space. This project was never built. The project is recorded through original drawings dating from on or around 1995 that consist of sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and axonometric drawings.

Description:
The director of the Metz & Co interior design firm, Joseph de Leeuw, commissioned furniture designs from several prominent Dutch artists and architects, including Oud, Van der Leck and Rietveld. Oud's four chair designs were featured in the company's exhibition, "Steel Furniture in 1934." The chairs were made of steel frames; the third chair featured angular rear supports with sharp front angles adjoining the front, while in the fourth, the chair front and rear leg supports were crossed. Oud also designed four more chair types in 1934, including the 07 series, which received critical acclaim (Taverne et al. 2001, 375-377). Project series includes drawings of sketch perspectives of chairs, a sketch plan for a house and unidentified details, possibly for Metz & Co, as well as photographs of the chairs.
